Farm News for October 24, 2020

Posted on October 22nd, 2020 by Teresa Kurtak

This weekend will mark the end of our 2020 Flower Shares.  Next Monday we shift gears to start on custom orders for dried floral wreaths and dried bouquets.  Throughout the season we dry floral material that we turn into beautiful arrangements during the Fall and Winter.  Each wreath is hand made, unique, and can be customized to your preferences for color, style, etc. As each wreath takes an hour or more, we need time to create them and are now collecting orders for delivery on Nov. 15th, 19th, and 21st, depending on what day your pick up is. Interested?  You can order one here: https://www.harvie.farm/signup/fifth-crow-farm
