What to Expect at You-Pick Events
We start inside the cottage on premise with light snacks, a brief history of the farm, and a quick tutorial on cutting flowers.
Then you'll head out to explore the fields and cut your bouquet before coming back inside to arrange everything.
We wrap up with bouquet care tips and always leave time for a few photos.
A few things to know
This is a two hour event.
You-Picks are capped at 12 people in the summer (16 in winter) so everyone has ample space to create bouquets.
Tickets include everything needed to make gorgeous bouquets to take home.
You must be 12 or older to attend a you-pick.
What to Expect at Bloom Pass
Bloom Pass is a ticketed 45-minute session where you come to the farm, cut your own stems, and head home with fresh flowers. Sessions run early morning so you can enjoy the farm before the Arizona heat sets in.
It's perfect if you want fresh farm flowers but don't have a couple of hours to spare.
A few things to know
Sessions are capped at 10-12 people, so the farm never feels crowded.
Tickets must be purchased at least 24 hours in advance — no walk-ups or day-of sales.
Open Hours is available to guests ages 12 and up.
