Join Nate and Jordan for our bloom seasons. Due to new farm operation structure, the farm will no longer be open to walk-on business or appointments, but will be open on select dates for OPEN HOUSES. We look forward to showing you the farm during lily and daylily bloom seasons. Please note there will be no peony bloom season open houses this year due to prior scheduled business and personal activities.
*Plants may be ordered at the time of your visit, but will no longer be dug and available to take home the same day. Orders taken during open houses can have arrangements made to be shipped at cost or may be scheduled for pickup at your convenience. We understand same day digging may have been attractive in the past, but we no longer can support these practices due to busy schedules and our inability to secure employees at reasonable costs. While instant gratification can no longer take place, you will still receive the same high quality plants as those purchased in the past! We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you this summer!

We ship these in fall as dormant bulbs, or they may be picked up at an arranged date throughout late June and July if you would like to purchase them. Daylilies and other plants may be purchased/ordered for shipping or pick up during this open house as well.

Please use our website to make peony orders, as this is the only way we take orders for these plants. Daylilies and Lilies may also be ordered through our website for shipping and pickup.
Happy Gardening,
Nate Bremer and Jordan Kabat.
