What they grow
Sustainable cut flowers — grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, on Lake Ariel ground at the eastern edge of the [[pocono-plateau|Pocono Plateau]]. Sold direct through their website and through seasonal farmers’-market and event channels.
Why it matters
The U.S. cut-flower industry is overwhelmingly import-dependent — most flowers sold in American supermarkets and florists are flown in from Colombia, Ecuador, or the Netherlands, often grown with significant pesticide loads under labor conditions that wouldn’t be permitted domestically. The slow-flowers movement is the U.S.-domestic counter-current: small farms growing seasonal flowers locally, sold within a tighter geographic radius, without the global supply chain.
