About our
Little Big Farm

Little Big Farm is a small family flower farm nestled in the foothills of northern Warren County, New Jersey. Owned and operated by Patti Doell since 2006, the primary farming activity is to grow the most beautiful blooms possible without the use of pesticides or herbicides. Our customers seek organically grown, locally sourced fresh cut flowers for weddings, parties, and design activities. 

After establishing the flower farm, Patti rallied the help of some local farmers and a non-profit to establish the Blairstown Farmer's Market. In 2019, Patti helped form the Garden State Flower Co-op, a collection of regional flower farmers who operate a wholesale market weekly in Boonton, NJ. Patti has been featured in the New York Times and Debra Prinzing's Slow Flowers podcast.

Patti began working in horticulture since the mid 1990s when she formed a partnership in a floral landscape design company. In 1997, Patti took a position at the New York Botanical Garden as the coordinator for the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden where she was responsible for programs that instructed inner-city children and residents how to propagate flowers and vegetables.

In 2002, Patti pursued her long-time interest in farming by taking a position at The Good Hand Farm in Andover, N.J. Patti was responsible for assisting in the propagation of certified organic vegetables and managing the farm's participation in the Union Square (NYC) and Millburn, N.J., farmers' markets. In 2003, Patti joined the Walnut Grove farm to assist the well-established operation's production of organically grown vegetables and Christmas trees. Patti is a member of the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers, Slow Flowers, and was a founder and former president of the Garden State Flower Co-op.
