After weeks of bed preparation, planting perennials and spring plugs, direct sowing, and getting cover crops established, it was wonderful to be harvesting flowers again!

We were delighted to see so many of our mums find homes with visitors to the Newtown Farm Crawl over the weekend. Even after those sales, we still had a lovely selection of colors and varieties to send to the floor this week. And with more mums opening every day, we expect the harvest to move into high gear next week.

But the real highlight of the weekend was the community. We had an almost constant stream of visitors throughout Saturday — familiar faces, families, and new neighbors curious about our little farm.

When we started Great Ring Farm, connecting with our community was as much a part of our vision as growing beautiful flowers and caring for the land. This weekend was a wonderful reminder of why that matters.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared an encouraging word, purchased flowers or eggs, or simply took the time to learn about what we're doing here. Your interest and support mean so much to a small farm like ours.

Thankful for the opportunity to grow flowers, steward the land, and belong to such a supportive community.

When we started Great Ring Farm four years ago, our vision was about more than growing flowers. We wanted to care for the land, grow sustainably, and build meaningful connections with the community around us.Tomorrow, we have a wonderful opportunity to share a little of that vision!We’re grateful to be participating in the Newtown Farm Crawl and would love to welcome our neighbors, friends, and anyone curious about our small flower farm. Come say hello, meet and help feed our chickens and goats, and get a glimpse of what we do here at Great Ring Farm. We’ll be happy to share stories from our fourth growing season and talk about the specialty flowers we grow.We’ll also have fresh-cut flowers and farm eggs available for purchase, though there is absolutely no obligation to buy anything!This is a FREE community event — everyone is welcome! Please note: While the Newtown Farm Crawl is a two-day event, Great Ring Farm will be open to the public on Saturday, October 31 ONLY. Saturday, October 31 | 10 AM–5 PM Great Ring Farm | 1 Great Ring Road, Sandy Hook The Farm Crawl is a wonderful opportunity to explore four other local farms, too.

We listed a few woodies on Rooted this week, keeping a hopeful eye to see if any mums would open in time.

As it turned out, just as we were loading the van to head to the floor, one last walk through the rows yielded a beautiful surprise — a stunning bunch of ‘Shanghai Red’!

It was a light harvest for us this week, but standing in the tunnel, it feels like the momentum is finally shifting. The white, pink, and red mums are opening at their own steady pace, with orange, yellow, bronze and mauve to follow and we’re gearing up for a bigger harvest next week.

And for our local friends, we can’t wait to welcome you to Great Ring Farm this Saturday, October 31, from 10 AM to 5 PM for the Newtown Farm Crawl! Come walk the fields, see what’s blooming, and say hello. We’d love to see you!

10/24/2026

If you didn't see any Great Ring Farm flowers at the floor this week, there's a reason — this was our first week since April 20 that we neither listed nor sent anything!

Our mums are almost ready, but not quite there yet. We're hopeful we'll begin harvesting on Monday, so we've listed some woodies for preorder and will add mums on Sunday on Rooted if they look ready.

Either way, we'll be sending as much as we can to the floor next week.

And for our local friends, we'd love to welcome you to Great Ring Farm next Saturday, October 31, from 10 AM to 5 PM, as part of the Newtown Farm Crawl. Come visit the farm, see what we're growing, and say hello!

Looking forward to seeing you next week — at the Collective or here at the farm!

We chose not to list for preorder again this week, with a full schedule around the Garlic Festival (Roberta's Pottery) and another uncertain weather forecast.

Even so, we were able to harvest and send lots of scented geranium, the last few bunches of Green Dianthus, and our first bunches of Snowberries to the floor.

At this point in the season, each new stem feels especially meaningful. The main harvest is winding down, but the berries are reminding us of what this part of the year can offer — texture, color, and a different kind of beauty.

We are also keeping an eye on our young Ilex. We are not harvesting these this year, letting the plants keep growing and building strength for future seasons. But seeing the berries out there now makes us excited for what fall at Great Ring Farm may become.

Grateful for these late-season stems, and for the chance to keep learning what the farm can offer.

We listed conservatively this week, unsure of how our flowers had held up after the recent weather. But we still pushed hard to send as much as possible to the floor, and once we wrapped up harvest, we ended up with lots of extra bunches.

Among the highlights: Green Dianthus, thornless blackberry, and eucalyptus.

The Green Dianthus feels especially fitting for this moment in the season. We harvested our first stems in late April, and this week we are cutting the last stems of this year’s crop while also planting fresh Dianthus for next year.

That is the rhythm of the farm right now — sending out what remains of this season while quietly getting the next one started.

Grateful for the flowers that held on, and for another week of local stems making their way into the world.

The harvest may be quieter this week, but the farm itself is anything but.

With the weather forecast and a short lull before the mums begin, we opted not to list for preorder because our schedule was a bit uncertain. While much of the field harvest can wait another week, we were glad to have Chris from bring a few ready bunches of Sedum, green dianthus, and our last sunflowers to the floor today.

Behind the scenes, most of our work right now is about getting next year’s crops into the ground. September has this unique double life: sending the last of one season out the door while setting up the next.

We are in the middle of a big fall planting push, getting campanula, snapdragons, foxgloves, and other spring crops established. while seeding cover crops to build soil health heading into winter. Grateful for this work between flower seasons, and for the promise of what’s going into the ground right now.

As the main season begins to wind down, we found ourselves harvesting from both ends of the farm’s story.

Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ was one of the first crops we planted here, nearly four years ago, right after our peonies and Baptisia. There are newer and fancier Sedums out there, but this humble, reliable crop has become one of our highest-volume offerings — steady, useful, and still showing up generously when so much else is beginning to slow.

Gomphocarpus, on the other hand, is one of our newest crops this year. We had heard there was strong florist interest in it, but every new crop gives us more to learn — how to harvest it, process it, and present it well. Seeing it move through the these last few weeks has been a real encouragement.

This week was less about introducing something new and more about sending as much beauty as we could to the floor as the season begins to narrow. We harvested lots of Sedum, extra scented geranium, Gomphocarpus, and other late-season stems — including a little curly willow, though not quite enough extra for the floor this time.

And if we are thinking about the fondest memories of the season, fragrance has to be part of it: walking into the cooler and catching eucalyptus, scented geranium, bouquet dill, phlox, and all the green, herbal notes that made certain harvest days feel especially alive.

There are still lilies and mums ahead, but this part of September makes us grateful for all that has already passed through our hands — the crops that surprised us, the ones that carried us, and the growers, florists, designers, and flower lovers who made room for them.

Grateful for this season, and grateful to keep harvesting what remains.

09/15/2026

In what may be our last big harvest week before the mums begin, Viburnum ‘Brandywine’ felt like the highlight — rich, seasonal, and right on time.

Alongside the Viburnum, we harvested lots more Sedum, some scented geraniums, a few extra Gomphocarpus, and pink and white Japanese Anemones for the floor.

Grateful for these September stems, and for each week that still brings something worth noticing.

09/09/2026

By September, some of the most interesting stems are not always the largest blooms, but the foliage, berries, fragrance, and texture that give arrangements depth.

Viburnum berries are still about a week away, but we were able to send a few extra bunches of Symphoricarpos to the floor again this week. As the main flower harvest begins to slow, these smaller berry stems feel like one of the first signs of where the field is headed next.

Alongside the Symphoricarpos, this week’s harvest includes an array of Sedum, fresh eucalyptus, scented geraniums, and more Gomphocarpus — with its delightful balloon-like pods.

Grateful to keep harvesting what September is offering.
