What you’ll find at The Slow Bloom

  • Hands exchanging a wooden box filled with fresh vegetables including leafy greens, carrots, broccoli, and eggplant against a peach-colored background.

    Monthly Pop-Ups at the Farm

    Each month, we host a small, seasonal pop-up at the farm giving you the opportunity to pre-order fresh, naturally grown vegetables along with something hands-on and fun to experience. It might be a mini U-pick, a simple craft, a flower activity, or a seasonal make-and-take. These pop-ups are easygoing, family-friendly, and designed to help you enjoy the beauty of the season in a relaxed way.

  • Colorful bouquet of various flowers including pink, red, yellow, purple, and white blooms against a peach background.

    Seasonal Flowers + Bloom Bars

    Fresh, farm-grown flowers available seasonally, including bouquet bars, build-your-own bloom stations, and occasional U-pick moments. Our flowers change with the rhythm of the land, offering something new and beautiful each season.
