What you’ll find at The Slow Bloom

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Mindfulness Sessions

    These sessions on the farm help adults, kids, and families slow down, connect with the body, and tune into the natural world. Through gentle movement, farm activities, and sensory experiences, you’ll calm the nervous system, explore emotions, and find presence and ease in the moment.

    Workshops

    Throughout the year, we offer workshops for adults, kids, and families who want a creative, hands-on experience. Each session features a seasonal project with flowers, plants, or vegetables, plus a chance to learn about how they grow and their uses. Small and thoughtful, our workshops help you connect with the season and create something beautiful.
