Artisan flower farm

Grown under open skies

with mountain views,

in sun licked soils

from snow fed water,

this is where my flowers bloom

My flowers are grown by hand the old fashioned way in open fields at the mercy of nature and its seasons, it can be harsh, dirty, and labour intensive but the outcome is beautiful.

About the farm

Offering

Hello flower lovers

Closed for the season.

See you in Spring.

The Joy Farmer's offering is unique to a florist studio in that all my flowers are locally grown in Central Otago. I only work with what is flowering that week in the garden, offering farm fresh blooms for collection from Wanaka between September and March.

There is always beauty to be found once you turn your eyes to this way of seeing the world, what is available is completely dependent on the weather and the seasons. I personally love that it is a reflection of a particular moment in time in this beautiful region.

Ethos

The beauty of nature

My ethos is simple - local and seasonal.

Flowers often remind us of moments in time, forever connecting us to the people and places we encountered them. By thoughtfully growing & curating what beauty nature provides locally each season my hope is to create life long floral memories unique to this beautiful region & inspire my community to join the slow flower revolution.

About

farm fresh, characterful blooms

Hello, I am Sarah & welcome to my flower inspired world where I grow romantic & characterful garden flowers for my community and share stories of a life spent outdoors.

My flowers are grown at my family's high country station in Central Otago, NZ. A clashing alpine desert like environment with dramatic views & vast temperature fluctuations. It is an equally wonderful & challenging place to live and grow.

Thanks for following along.
