Wonder, Connection, and Creativity drive our work.
We choose Wonder. Whether working or playing, we try to notice those things around us that bring joy and awe. Sometimes that’s easy and sometimes it takes effort, but it’s always worth it. We hope you can find Wonder in your own life, and if Blue Table Flowers can be part of that journey, well that’s just grand.

We grow what we like. That may not be the best business sense, but then, we never really did like business. We don’t mind if this little venture brings us some revenue, but it isn’t our primary focus. Connections to people and with the earth are what makes us tick. We err on the side of generosity too often to ever get rich, and we will never, ever put profits and pesticides before our pollinator friends.

Blue Table Flowers is a no-till farm that uses Brix scores to improve plant health and avoid pesticide use.

Gardening has always been part of our life, but we didn’t always sell our flowers. A good friend suggested that we share our bouquets, so we put the blue table outside her shop and brought jars of flowers to sell. And that’s how Blue Table Flowers was born.
