Cut Flowers

Carolyn Snell Designs at Snell Family Farm

Cut Flower Growers

Our flower farm grows numerous varieties of blooms, following Maine’s seasons. We cultivate our flowers on just under 2 acres of Snell Family Farm’s many fields. The flowers flourish next to rows and acres of raspberries, tomatoes, broccoli, onions, and all the other veggies and fruit the Snell Family grows.

Bouquets for Every Day

Our goal is to offer the fresh flowers we grow right here in Southern Maine at every Farmers' Market Snell Family Farm attends from late April through October and on to Thanksgiving in Portland.

The bouquets look different each week, as the flower selection changes. We use many different textures in our bouquets, including interesting herbs, grains, and other neat stems grown here at the farm.

Buying locally grown flowers is a wonderful way to celebrate the seasons and bring some of Maine’s beauty into your home or office.

 

We sell our mixed bouquets primarily at Farmers’ Markets in Portland and Saco, and some at our farm stand in Buxton.
Daffodils begin our year in late April, and tulips and hyacinths follow into and through May. We grow a few lilacs that usually bloom around the end of May. Spring bouquets continue into June with sweet william, alliums, peonies, other perennials, and dahlias.
Prime flower time, however, strikes from the middle of July to frost, typically late September. The stars of the bouquets include dahlias, sunflowers, zinnias, lisianthus, snapdragons, amaranth, and lilies, and a few glads.
From late September to Thanksgiving, we cut fancy and unusual mums that we grow in our greenhouses, dahlias, as well as kales, herbs, and grains from our fields.

We love working with the flowers we grow to help make your events more festive!

We are happy to provide flowers for you to arrange or we can do the designing for you. Whenever we work with flowers, our first choice is to use the flowers we grow. Always super fresh, the flowers we grow are of the highest quality and peak of beauty. Our second choice is to buy flowers from other local farms. Our last choice/back up option is to source flowers from regional wholesalers.  Having these three avenues to source flowers for your special events helps us know that even if the weather throws us curveballs, we will have flowers you need.
