U-PICK TIPS AND TRICKS

  • Early mornings and late evenings are the best times to pick! Bring appropriate footwear for wet grass and wear bug spray/ sunscreen.

  • A general rule of thumb… stiff stems are good stems! While it’s tricky to explain the perfect time to cut each type of flower, “limp” flowers just don’t last long. So while they may appear to be ready to be picked, do the wiggle test and determine whether the stem feels “stiff” or “wobbly”!

  • Once you’ve cut your stems and return to the table to arrange the flowers in your vase, remove all the leaves that will be at the neckline of the vase or lower. Removing the leaves allows for less bacteria to accumulate in the water and your flowers will last longer.

  • We recommend recutting the stems before putting them into the vase to make sure they can take in water optimally.

  • Once you get home, keep your flowers out of direct sunlight, change the water every other day and give those stems a fresh cut too while you’re at it!

Connecting you with nature and drawing you closer
to the person you want to be.

Nobody has it easy in this life. We are all searching for something more or something less, something to make our days a little lighter, or something to allow the burden to escape us even if just for a moment.

Being with nature and surrounding ourselves with God’s creation can help us do just that.

Nature is simple, grounding, wholesome, and pure. It always has been and always will be.

A little about the farm…

  • Fun Fact 1

    The land which now serves as Meadow Forge Flower Farm was once a thriving cattle barn and feedlot, supporting a family and helping feed a community. This barn was caught up in a storm in the mid 1980’s and tore down. In the spring of 2022, we removed the final pieces of the feedlot and began preparations for the Meadow.

  • Fun Fact 2

    After the devastating storm, this land served as an alfalfa field, harvested and stored to feed livestock throughout the winter. The land surrounding the meadow is still alfalfa, and attracts thousands of butterflies throughout the summer.

  • Fun Fact 3

    Meadow Forge is home to 10,000 annual plants! Some growing to a height of just 24 inches and others over 7 feet tall! These rows of flowers bring over a dozen kinds of wildlife to the property each spring and summer.
