A dense field of red, pink, orange, and yellow dahlias in full bloom.

Flower farm and Saturday stand

Flowers cut the morning you come for them.

Lanternmead is a small field and a smaller stand. Three bouquets, cut at dawn, wrapped while they are still cold. Nothing is shipped.

Now cutting
Dahlias, cosmos, zinnias, and the last garden roses.
Stand open
Saturdays, 9 to 1, through the first hard frost.
Pickup only
12 Cinderpath, Siltmere. The shed with the green door.
A sloping field of pink and white cosmos under a blue sky, with a line of trees in the distance.

The short version

A rented strip of ground, past the last house.

Ada and Jules planted the first dahlias because the soil held water and the light stayed late. The stand began as a table and a cash box. It is still mostly that, with a better shed and a green door.

They cut on Friday at dawn, write the board, and sell on Saturday until the buckets are empty or the clock says one.

From the stand

Notes people leave with the stems.

“The large bunch lasted through the next weekend, on a table that usually holds mail.”

Mara, Saturday regular

“I get the small one for myself and tell the cat it is a gift.”

Find the green door

Saturdays, while the lane is quiet.

Follow Cinderpath until the pavement gives up. The stand is the shed on the left, just past the cosmos.
