Late summer and early fall are some of the most beautiful weeks on the farm. Sunflowers reach peak color, black-eyed Susans glow in the fields, and our unique millets and autumn textures bring depth and movement to every bouquet. Dahlias begin to shine, too—adding lush petals and richness to each design.

The Autumn Bouquet Share captures all this beauty during August and September, one of the most abundant and textural times of the season.

Below is everything you need to know before joining our Fall CSA.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What if I’m out of town during one of the pickups?

Since bouquets are harvested fresh and highly perishable, we can’t hold them. But they make excellent gifts—neighbors, coworkers, teachers, daycare providers, or friends are always happy to pick up in your place.

---

Do bouquets come in a vase?

No. All bouquets are wrapped in kraft paper and include 15–30 stems of locally grown fall flowers and textures. They’re ready to drop into your favorite vase at home.

---

When will the Autumn Share begin?

Our autumn blooms typically start in early August, and the share runs through September. You’ll receive a confirmation email with exact dates as we get closer.

How do I care for my autumn flowers?

Each bouquet includes:
