What’s Blooming in Blairstown
August 2025
WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW
Generational Farming
Esther is here! Way back in the early 2000’s I used to to work at a farm in Andover NJ called Good Hand Farm. We grew 10 acres of organic vegetables and sold at several farmer’s markets including Union Square in NYC. I learned so much at that farm, including how to plant FAST, run an irrigation system and how to grow in a hoop house. Esther is the granddaughter of the family/farmer I worked for way back then. She and her sister, Clara, have been visiting and helping out here at Little Big Farm for 3 years now. I am grateful for the full circle connection and chance to share my farming journey with these lovely girls.
What’s Happening Now
Snip and Sip Events
Little Big Farm offers “Snip and Sip” flower harvesting events and workshops that enable participants to learn from Patti’s near 30-years of horticultural expertise.
In a relaxed and fun atmosphere, walk with Patti through the flower fields and “snip” some of the most beautiful stems you have ever seen as you “sip” your beverage of choice. You will learn about the dozens of varieties that we grow and have all of your questions answered. At the end of the evening you will also receive a quick tutorial on how to arrange your newfound bucket of blooms. Bring a friend or two to share this wonderful evening.
ABOUT TO BLOOM
Dahlias
We are growing over 1,000 dahlia plants this summer and they are about to bloom any minute! These flowers will knock your socks off with their beauty. You can find them in every bucket and bouquet once they get going. If you want a really special treat though, sign up for our Dahlia Share in the Flower Club. Starting at the end of August, participants get a bucket full of dahlias every week for 4 weeks. All different sizes shapes and colors to explore the wonderful world of dahlias.
See you at the farm!
