Our farm
Feather Hill Farm is located in the town Chatham NY.
Our farm produces high quality fresh flowers. Everything that we produce is organic - we do not use synthetic pesticides or synthetic fertilizer. We also use soil building techniques such a cover crops and composting to improve our soil. We control pests and diseases using cultural and biological methods These organic practices ensure that we are stewards of our farmland, committed to leaving behind better soil for future farmers.
Flower Care
How do I best care for my flowers to make them last the longest?
We typically harvest your flowers within 24 hours of delivering them to you making them much fresher than flowers you can buy in any store. Our flowers typically last about a week, but some varieties have shorter or longer vase life.
Tulips, daffodils, lisianthus, snapdragons, sunflowers - when harvested at the right stage, can last almost two weeks. Zinnias, dahlias, poppies, sweet peas and some other varieties typically last 4-5 days. We grow over 50 varieties of flowers, and each flower has its own unique habits and proper post harvest treatment. There are books written about this, no joke! Our best recommendation is this—- place your bouquet in a very clean vase, with clean water. Be sure to remove all leaves and extra foliage below the water line. Only stems should be in the water to keep it clean. Change the water every morning when you have your coffee. Bacteria build up in the water speeds up decay of flowers. You can snip 1/2 inch off stem ends every few day, so the stems take a fresh drink. Also, keep your bouquet out of direct sunlight and extreme heat as this will also shorten life.
Most of all, enjoy the bouquet as it ages and changes! Notice how some flowers continue to open and others do not. Notice how some colors fade as they age, sometimes very dramatically.
NOTE: We stand behind our product, and since flowers are highly perishable sometimes things happen. If your bouquet dies within a day or two of pick up something went wrong! Send us a pic on email to adele@featherhillflowers.com and we will schedule a time for you to come to farm and pick up a replacement bouquet.
