About Community Supported Agriculture
There are many names to describe this service, including flower share, bouquet CSA, and flower subscription, but the concept is basically the same. Similar to a produce CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, flower farmers who offer a CSA ask customers to make an up-front investment in their flower harvest for the season. When they harvest from their fields, they set aside the first crops for the subscribers who purchase a CSA share before they take their products to other markets. This gives community members the freshest harvest available that is grown locally in their own communities, resulting in increased vase life of flowers and diversity in the market. Being part of a CSA invites everyone to love the land, its changing seasons, and the beauty it offers. We hope you consider joining ours.
Our 2025 CSA Bouquet Subscriptions are now live! We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our Bouquet Subscription lineup: PEONIES & DAHLIAS!
If ordering as a gift, please let us know. We’ll provide a gift certificate.
Purchase a share of Five Blossoms Farm’s flower harvest through our Bouquet CSA program and receive a bountiful bouquet each week of your subscription! Each bouquet is unique from the one before and features the best of what is blooming each week.
How do I get my flowers?
Instead of going to the grocery store or flower shop, you come directly to the farm and get your flowers freshly cut from our field. CSA pick ups are on Fridays between 4pm – 6pm and Saturdays 9am – 11am.
When does the CSA program start?
We will send an email to all CSA program subscribers notifying them when flowers are blooming and when CSA pick-ups will begin.
What if I go on vacation?
If you go on vacation, we recommend you gift your weekly flowers to a friend or a family member. They are welcome to come to the farm and pick up your flowers for the week and enjoy a special gift of the season.
Do you credit my account if I don’t pick up my bouquet?
No, sorry. Cutting & preparing your bouquet incurs a cost to our farm. We spend hours harvesting and arranging them for you. We will hold your bouquet until the next day for you. Though, we can’t replace a bouquet if you don’t pick it up.
How can I make my flowers last longer?
Start with a clean vase and use provided flower food.
Gently strip the leaves off of the stem so no leaves fall below the waterline.
Cut each stem at a 45-degree angle with a clean sharp knife or scissors.
Change the water every 2-3 days.
Don’t be afraid to pull the dead flowers out of the arrangement or pull off bad petals
Keep flowers away from ripening fruit and out of direct sunlight.
Bouquet Expectations
It’s important to note that vase life varies significantly between different flower varieties. Dahlias, for example, are one of the most requested and beautiful flowers grown. We like to say that Dahlias are here for a good time but not a long time. We only expect 4-5 days out of them on average. Some varieties of Dahlias will last closer to 7 days.
