Good to Know:

  • This experience is approximately four hours in length.
  • Experience is recommended for ages 14+
  • Wear comfortable shoes as we'll be walking around the farm which has some uneven terrain.
  • Wear something you don't mind getting dirty. Nothing we're using will stain, but if you're going out after you may consider bringing an apron.
  • Dress for the weather or in layers, but keep in mind it's often cooler here as we're at a higher elevation from the Valley and have coastal breezes. The Barn is not heated.
  • Wear SPF and a hat as there's not much shade in the garden.
  • Water is also available on-site so feel free to bring your own water bottle.
Sarah and Kenny Macalpine

Sarah and Kenny are first generation farmers who quit their jobs and sold their house in the suburbs to grow flowers instead.  They design flowers for weddings, attend farmers' markets, offer bouquet subscriptions as well as host experiences.  Their farming philosophy is rooted in sustainability as they grow everything organically and are committed to responsibly stewarding their acreage.  Sarah says her favourite flower depends on the season; Fancy daffodils in the spring, peonies in June, foxglove in the summer months and dahlias in the fall.  Kenny also has a hard time narrowing it now, and says his top three are nigella, strawflowers and speciality tulips.
