SUMMARY:ASCFG Farm Tour: Leap Frog Flower Farm
DESCRIPTION:Quick Details \n\nHost: Liz Faucher\nAddress: 4919 Miller Road\, Earlysville\, Virginia\nWebsite: www.leapfrogflowerfarm.com\nDate and Time: June 1\, 2023\, from 9:00 a.m. to Noon\nAttendance Cap: Limited to 25 attendees.\n\nFrom the Host \nI have been growing for 5 years. My method until recently has been mostly “throw it against the wall and see what sticks.” I’ve tried pretty much everything: CSAs\, small farmers’ markets\, big farmers’ markets\, DIY weddings. I didn’t have a cohesive plan and vision until I helped found Central Virginia Flower Collective in spring 2022. Being a part of a cooperative selling model has helped me hone and fine-tune my growing and sales plans. Not only does the Collective provide extensive stem metrics through Rooted Farmers\, it provides weekly feedback on what is and isn’t a saleable item. \nI’d like the focus of this tour to be on the collective model. I am in central Virginia\, where we have faced an uphill battle to encourage the use of local flowers. After attending a Johnny’s webinar on flower cooperatives in 2021\, I contacted every local farm listed in the ASCFG directory. Seven of us came together and started CVFC. \nFor the farm tour\, I’ll showcase the farm and steps that I’ve taken to turn a former cow field into a working flower farm. Then\, several of our collective members will form a panel to discuss how joining a collective has impacted their growing and sales plans for 2023. \nRegister\n \nSPONSORED BY

SUMMARY:ASCFG Farm Tour: Vashon Peony Co.
DESCRIPTION:Quick Details \n\nHost: Tinuviel Lathrop\nAddress: Wax Orchard Rd SW\, Vashon\, WA 98070\nWebsite: www.vashonpeonyco.com\nDate and Time: Tuesday\, June 13\, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.\nAttendance Cap: Limited to 125 attendees.\n\nFrom the Host \nVashon Peony Co. is a climate-forward farm located on Vashon-Maury Island near Seattle\, Washington operating on 12 acres of Preservation Farmland. Our main goal as a medium-sized grower is to improve the quality and quantity of cut flowers while improving the environmental impact of cut flower sales in the U.S. We are a new farm\, started in 2021 and are very excited to host a tour and foster discussion about how growers\, designers\, and brokers can collaborate to meet and expand domestic demand for domestic flowers. We will discuss: the climate impact of the transcontinental cut flower trade; risk and instability within transcontinental cut-flower reliance; logistical concerns and disaster mitigation for cut flower growers and purchasers; environmental concerns from the cut flower purchasers’ perspective; opportunities for communicating how locally grown flowers have unique climate benefits; ways to improve our climate impact as growers and purchasers; sustainable and beneficial farming techniques; radical transparency and collaboration as industry movers; and brainstorm together any climate concerns for attendees farms or businesses. \nRegister Here
