Field report · Week of May 12
A small farm means honest seasons. Here is what the field is offering at this exact moment — picked, counted, and waiting for you.
Our story
Dahlia Farm Stand began on a cracked clay corner of family land that nobody knew quite what to do with. We dug it by hand, planted three hundred tubers, and prayed for rain.
Seven seasons later, we are still small on purpose. No imports. No air-freight. No mystery roses from another continent. Every stem you carry home was alive in our field this morning, fed by our well water and the same fog you walked through to find us.
— Maren & Theo Aldworth, growers
Come see the field →How we grow
We hand-weed and companion plant. Bees, ladybugs, and one very serious barn cat handle the rest.
Cover crops, leaf mulch, and our own compost feed the soil. We never till deeper than a fork.
Stems are sharpest, sweetest, and most hydrated before 7am. So that's when we work.
Kraft paper, twine, and reusable buckets. The only plastic in our barn is the radio.

Visit the stand
The stand sits at the edge of our field. It's self-serve, cash & card welcome, and open whenever the gate is open. Bring a friend, bring scissors, bring an empty afternoon.
In the words of our neighbors
"I drive forty minutes for these bouquets and would drive four hundred. Maren tied my wedding flowers and I still get teary about it."
"You can taste the difference in a tomato, and you can absolutely see the difference in a flower. Theirs last twelve days on my counter. I time my Fridays around the stand."
"The U-pick morning is now a non-negotiable summer tradition for our girls. They call it 'the dahlia day.'"
Events & workshops
Workshops are intimate (eight people, no more), held in the barn or among the rows, and always end with everyone going home with arms full of flowers.
An afternoon in the barn with shears, twine, and a generous bucket of June flowers. Includes wine, snacks, and a finished bouquet to take home.
Coffee, sourdough pancakes from our friends at Crow Bakery, and three hours in the field with your own scissors. Bring kids, dogs, hats.
A long table, candles, and four courses by Chef Nadia. Family-style, all local, dahlias absolutely everywhere.
One-hour conversations at the field for couples planning a 2026–2027 wedding. Bring a Pinterest board, a budget, and a friend.
