The FarmFigaro's has embarked on a new endeavour to grow the most beautiful, fresh, organic cut flowers in the Lower Mainland. We are farming on land next to the amazing Sweet Digz Farm in Steveston, growing our blooms on 1-acre of prime Fraser River soil.
2016 was our 1st season in production, offering a 9-week flower CSA and selling at the shop, Vancouver Farmers Markets, as well as to local florists. We learned soooooo much this year and look forward to offering our blooms in 2017. We won't be doing the markets and CSA this year. Instead we'll focus on connecting with local florists/designers and having beautiful flowers at our shop. If you are a Metro Vancouver florist looking for a unique local product, please contact us as we will be sending out now-fresh lists starting in late July. Sweet Peas, Dahlias, and Liatris are all very close! |

Our Motivation- the cultivation of plant material is an amazing learning force
