FLOWER CSA FAQs

Pricing and signup are available from winter to early spring. Shares begin in mid-February*.  We ask that you sign-up at least 10 days before a share starts. If you are late to the game we will happily pro-rate a share for you if there is space in our membership, but shares are limited and may sell out.

Bouquets come artfully wrapped in our signature hand-stamped brown craft paper sleeve.

Yes! When you get your flowers home snip the ends of the stems with sharp scissors or pruners and then place in a clean vase with fresh water.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. A flower CSA works the same way as popular vegetable CSAs. A member typically joins in the winter/early spring before the growing season starts. Their payment helps our farm buy seeds and other supplies for the year. In return for their investment, members receive a weekly bouquet of organically grown flowers.

1. Start with a clean vessel. I sanitize mine with a splash of bleach and a good scrub and then rinse it out well.
2. Fill vessel with fresh water about  ⅓ of the way full. The more water you put in the more contact with the stems means more opportunity for bacteria to grow, so we recommend filling to ⅓ and changing water frequently
3. Snip the ends of your flowers at an angle with a sharp pair of scissors or pruners.
4. Do not place in direct sunlight.
5. Change the water in the vase every other day and give the stems a fresh snip. Bacteria clogs the stems of the flower and causes them fade more quickly. Fresh, clean water and a fresh cut on the ends will help the flowers continue to be able to drink and last longer!
6. Let the bouquet evolve! Some flowers are more ephemeral than others and we encourage our members to pull those blooms out of the bouquet once they fade but to continue to enjoy the other blooms and foliage that last longer. We’ve been told that some of our blooms last close to 12 days!

We have found that our bouquets last upwards to a week. Some flowers are more ephemeral than others and we encourage our members to pull those blooms out of the bouquet once they fade but to continue to enjoy the other blooms and foliage that last longer. We’ve been told that some of our blooms last close to 12 days.

If you know you’ll be wanting a Bee’s Wing Farm flower subscription, your early commitment will be greatly appreciated. Your early-enrollment helps us have the cash flow to make those purchases with confidence and to know how much we need to grow to supply our members with beautiful flowers all season long.
