Cut your own, in the last good light of the day

An 18 acre family flower farm just outside the Smyrna city limits. It began in 2013 because two young daughters wanted room for their ponies. The daughters are grown and the ponies went with them. The flowers stayed.

Our story

A small cut flower farm, just outside Nashville

We are a small cut flower farm in Smyrna, Tennessee. The farm began in 2013, when our two young daughters wanted room for their ponies.

Since then this ground has been home to horses, goats, chickens, pigs and one cow, along with all the wildlife that roams our 18 acres sitting just outside the city limits.

Those two daughters are grown now, pursuing their own agricultural dreams in their own places, and the animals went with them. So we are brightening the farm with flowers and looking forward to sharing them with our community.
