Cut flowers

“I must have flowers, always, and always”. -Monet

I can’t recall a time in life when flowers weren’t a source of life and light. I remember as a little girl being keenly aware of the sights and smells that surrounded me, and not much has changed I guess. You see, God tells us a lot about Himself in the details of what He’s made, and the older I get, the more I’m in complete awe of the awesome God we serve. In our first home together, I wanted to decorate our tiny apartment balcony with flowers. When we bought our first house, I remember excitedly anticipating that first trip to the greenhouse for annuals to add splashes of color to the landscape. When we began to realize we would be moving to land, it’s almost as if the Lord handed us a blank canvas that measured appropriately 10 acres. To say the excitement within was bursting forth is a gross understatement. We immediately set out to grow as much as we possibly could, and it’s only gotten better with each passing year. It has not been easy, but it is worth every bit of try-fail-try again effort. 

 

 

At Sonshine Acres, we grow a vast variety specialty cut flowers. The varieties we choose to grow are specific to our growing region, tried and true, robust, resilient and have lasting vase life. Some of our favorite annual varieties are snapdragons, dahlia, statice, sunflower, zinnia, gomphrena, and cosmos. Perennials are also a favorite, as we grow significant amounts of delphinium, yarrow, feverfew, black eyed Susan, and a total favorite – peonies! Our cut flowers are primarily used for sharing in our community, but we also happily take custom bouquet orders. We can ever deliver upon request! Other, we spend our summer days harvesting and designing beautiful arrangements to deliver fresh, home-grown bouquets weekly to Brookside Farms in Otsego/Martin (Thursdays), Husted’s Farm Market in Kalamazoo (Fridays), Bushel & a Peck Boutique in Plainwell (Thursdays), Words on Pages bookstore in Paw Paw, and we also are blessed to deliver weekly table bouquets to the best restaurant around, Four Roses Cafe. Whenever you are, you aren’t far from fresh, local flowers and we always recommend bringing them into you home to enjoy. Beauty is always closer than you think.
