On-farm sales
A few times a year we open the farm for special sales events. You'll have the opportunity to cut your own blooms at the U-Pick; you can harvest your own dahlia tubers at the U-Dig; or you can attend our annual spring in-person dahlia tuber sale.

Work Trade
Trade time for dahlia tubers as you learn about the world's most beautiful hobby!
We have three work trade programs throughout the season: planting, fulfillment (shipping), and harvest.
Participants have a blast and make new friends while learning all about what goes into caring for these unique plants. And of course, everyone gets to take home tubers for their own gardens!

Community Garden
In addition to being a working flower farm, we are the largest community garden in New Jersey - and dare we say, the most fun!
Over the years, countless people have enjoyed sharing in the beauty, peace and friendship of our place in rural Sussex County.
Pumpkin contests, garlic patches, picklefests, tractor rides and more; bucolic fun abounds at the garden. Plus, our gardeners get to wander around the flower fields whenever they want!
