YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Dan Grinthal, co-owner and the farm's business manager, will be your main instructor. Dan grew up with dahlias on the family farm and has been a professional dahlia farmer since 2020.
After earning a degree in Product Design, he helped transition Andy and Linda's hobby farm into a full-time venture. Our farm now cultivates 10,000 plants a year with the help of a small crew of employees, and serves thousands of customers with several profitable business units, both in our local community and nationally.
Other members of the Sunset View Farm Dahlias family and crew may drop in to assist over the course of the day. Look for the embroidered overalls!
