So much to celebrate today! Tuber launch day has always caused so much anxiety but today has been smooth sailing!
We’re excited to offer a diverse selection of over 120+ varieties in this year’s tuber store. From unicorns to workhorses, we made sure to cover all the bases whether you are a novice or experienced grower.
Dahlias are our passion. Thank you for all your support!
It’s a two post kind of day since the cat’s out of the bag now… We were on the @todayshow this morning!!!
A pretty surreal moment if you ask us. We never would have thought that we’d ever grace the cover of a national magazine, no less appear on national TV 🤯🤯🤯.
So many thank yous to doll out-
• to @nbc@todayshow@gshang9 for telling our story
• to our crew (past and present) for getting it, working countless hours, putting up with our shenanigans, sore backs, bum knees, cut fingers, and wet socks — all for the beauty of flowers
• to the army of friends and neighbors (you know who you are!) who have volunteered innumerable hours at all times of day, in all weather conditions, to lend a hand, share a meal, or just listen
• to all our customers, CSA members + partners - you are why we continue to do this! Your smiles, hugs, and love of our flowers week in and week out keep us going!
• biggest of all thank you to my one crazy family (especially Mom + Dad!) who continue on this journey through the thick and thin. We may have had our biggest arguments since the farm started, but hey, we haven’t killed each other yet and I *think* we still like one another?! Love you all!
10 years ago, this farm started as a little sketch on lined paper. It’s been wild, wild ride and who knows what the next 10 will bring!? Hope you continue to join us!
Beyond belief! Never in our wildest imagination did we ever think this farm would be featured in any publication, no less a magazine we’ve been subscribing to since I can remember. It’s a bittersweet moment indeed. After a successful 30 year run, this is the very last print issue of Martha Stewart Living and our little farm will be in the history books.
Thank you @christine.chitnis for your eloquent writing, @melissaozawa for taking the chance on this story, @ariellachezardesign for your friendship, always making our flowers shine and being the most ardent supporter of local flowers, @chrischurchill for capturing all the beauty, and @mesiryan for bringing it all to life. To our past and present employees, CSA members, and customers, we wouldn’t be here without your unwavering support!
We have so much more to say, but it’s time to go harvest all the flowers for tomorrow’s Farmstand opening day. We’ll have flowers and more for your holiday tables and @upswingfarm will have all the veggies for your delicious meals.
Farmstand Hours:
Saturday 4/16 10am-1pm. Closed Sunday.
See you tomorrow!
Plant Sale Starts tomorrow!!! We have so many goodies for you… cut flowers, veg, herbs, bedding plants, dahlia tubers, potted dahlias + more! Each season we add more to the plant lineup and the crew is so excited to share some of their favorites with you!
Our weekend hours on Saturday and Sunday are 10am - 4pm. If you preordered dahlia tubers now is the time to come pick them up. Please reach out via email if you didn’t get an email to schedule your pickup!
The Farmstand Shop is also open with our late spring cuts (ahem, ranunculus) and some mixed bouquets for your grads. Find gardeny gifts too!
Come on out, the weather is going to be gorgeous this weekend!
With Mother’s Day in our rearview, it’s time to turn our attention to our Annual Plant Sale!
Besides cutting flowers, bunching CSAs, packing wholesale orders, dividing and shipping dahlia tuber orders, the crew has been working on seeding, potting, and tending to thousands of baby plants for this year’s plant sale!
If you’re a plant person these next two weekends are THE time to come by! We’ll have dahlia tubers (including Lyh’s dahlia fertilizer), cut flower starts, veg and herb starts, container plants, gardening supplies and tools that we use ourselves here on the Farm.
The vibe is more like a Garden Party where no one judges you for the number of plants you have 🤣.
Fivefork Plant Sale
May 16 - May 31
Sat + Sun 10am - 4pm
Thurs + Friday 10am - 6pm
Happy Mother’s Day to all the hardworking mommas and mom-figures. We wouldn’t be here without you all! ❤️

A bittersweet day… the last Thursday Spring CSA shares have left the Farm! Thank you to all our lovely CSA members for riding out this rollercoaster spring with us. We couldn’t do it without your support! Big shoutout to our CSA partners who have volunteered their spaces to host our flowers. Thank you all! 🩷
