Flower Farm
Also known as: cut-flower farm, specialty-cut-flower farm
A farm whose primary production is cut flowers, ornamentals, or floral material — dahlias, peonies, ranunculus, sunflowers, zinnias, snapdragons, lisianthus, eucalyptus, ornamental grasses, dried-everlasting bouquets. The slow-flowers movement (a domestic counter to the import-cut-flower supply chain) is the directory's editorial home for this category — flowers grown within driving distance of where they are sold, in season, by the people who grew them.
A flower farm grows cut flowers and ornamentals as a primary crop. [[directory|The directory]]‘s flower-farm entries belong to the slow-flowers movement — a domestic alternative to the cut-flower import system that ships most American supermarket bouquets from equatorial greenhouses tens of thousands of miles away.
What the directory tracks here
Annual cut flowers (zinnias, snapdragons, cosmos, sunflowers, celosia, lisianthus, ranunculus, anemones), perennial cut flowers (peonies, dahlias, irises, lilies, hellebores), woody ornamentals ([[eucalyptus|eucalyptus]], [[hydrangea|hydrangea]], ninebark, smoke bush), dried-everlasting operations, you-pick flower farms, single-species specialty farms (dahlia farms, peony farms, sunflower farms).
[[lavender|Lavender]] operations are tracked under [[herb-farm]] because lavender is foundationally an herb crop, even when the on-farm experience is ornamental.
