Belmont's local farm for over 10 years
Fall has brought a lush array of flowers to the farm, and the rich and varied burgundy, red and pink hues of amaranth are a farm favorite. Tall spikes of amaranth seed are towering at six feet tall now, growing in the rows right next to our lettuces and other greens. Hermik arranges them into stunning bouquets with zinnias, sunflowers, dill and herbs.
Our zinnias are now in full swing – adding a bright streak of color to the green vegetable fields.
The cosmos is blooming too.
We’ve begun selling bouquets in the farmstand – bigger blooms joined by fragrant stems of flowering mint and oregano…
…and we’ve added mini-bouquets to recent community-supported agriculture share baskets.
We are growing edible flowers like borage and calendula too – making lovely and delicious garnishes for salads and pretty much any other Summer dish.
Pick up a flower bouquet at the farmstand as a fresh, local and beautiful gift for friends, or to enjoy on your kitchen table!
