With construction projects ongoing, efforts to grow more flowers earlier, and staff on all year for the first time, this winter has been busier than ever. A lot goes on behind the scenes to bring flowers to market in our tough northeast climate!

Keeping Us Busy, Greenhouse Construction

It felt like a huge milestone to get plastic on the Bulbodome this week…Luke and Phil have been working for months on this Frankenstein of a building to get ready for this step! Plenty of work to do still until it’s move-in ready, but we now have a huge, 125′ covered, temperature-controlled storage space directly connected to a 50′ heated greenhouse…ideal for storage and forcing of bulbs!

Tiny Hearts Flower Shop: Magazine Perfect and Opening Soon for 2022!

We’re so proud that our beautiful little flower shop has been deemed magazine-worthy once again, this time in the March/April issue of Flower Magazine! This beautiful article, by renowned garden-writer Tovah Martin with photos by Kindra Clineff, celebrates our poppy obsession that spills over from the farm to the shop every summer. 

We’ll be opening for the 2022 season on Friday, March 11, with fresh-cut tulips, pussy willows, flowering spring plants, and more!

…and Don’t Forget About CSA!

Dahlias, in all their lush and brilliant beauty, are a Tiny Hearts Farm staple in late summer and fall. The amazing array of colors, shapes, and sizes make them a garden necessity, and perfect for arranging. Let us provide you with hand-picked farm-grown tubers by mail-order or for local pickup!

Tiny Hearts Tuber Shop

We’ve been growing on our farm-raised dahlia tuber stock for years, carefully selecting varieties that are vigorous performers, great cut flowers, resistant to disease, and beautiful in the garden. Sold as single tubers in a range of colors from well-named ‘Sierra Glow’ to ‘Cornel Bronze’ and more, each tuber is guaranteed to have a visible eye, or growth point. (Local gardeners wishing to pick up at curbside behind our shop in Hillsdale, NY, can select that option at checkout.)

Deliveries and Pickups will begin April 1st.

While we don’t have fresh flowers blooming just yet, we are still here to help you impress for Valentine’s Day! Everlasting dried bouquets and arrangements are a beautiful, seasonal, and unique gift for your loved one. We’re delivering locally through the weekend and on Valentine’s Day!

Dahlia Tuber Shop is Opening Saturday!

Our crew has been furiously dividing away and we are just about ready to open our online dahlia tuber shop for 2022. Keep an eye out on Instagram and for a Saturday morning newsletter announcing the opening!

We’ve retreated from our daily routine these past few weeks to spend some cherished time with our family and friends…we hope you have, too! It dawned on us that 2022 marks our farms’ second decade in existence and we wanted to take a moment to reminisce and share some of our journey with you, our friends and supporters both new and old! Please enjoy this photo retrospective of our farms first ten years in existence!

Here’s to a happy and healthy new year and many more decades of growth and prosperity!

And now…we’re stepping into a new year and a new decade and have so much to look forward to!

Big plans for the 2022 growing season!

We’ve already started our first seeds for the year and are working on a plan to triple our production quantities, to try to better meet demand in 2022. Even though we don’t exactly know what this year’s growing season has in store for us, we do know that we’ll have copious amounts of flowers to share with you! With a fantastic team assembled, we’re planning for a great season! Look out for upcoming newsletters where we’ll speak with more detail on some of our newest projects including the new “Bulbodome” which houses our tulip forcing experiments, the four production greenhouses we’ll be planting out in a few weeks, and the gazillion seeds we’ll be starting in the near future!

We’ll also be making announcements in the next few weeks about our flower CSA program, our class schedule and other fun happening and events at the farm so please look out for those as well!

Thank you for spending a little time reminiscing with us and for all of your support over the past ten years!! Here’s to many more years and to many, many, more flowers!

Happy Thanksgiving from Tiny Hearts Farm! We have plenty to give thanks for and are particularly grateful for the love and support of our family, friends, and wonderful flower-loving community.  This season marks our farm’s tenth year (!) and we’ve grown up from a tiny fledgling start-up to a flourishing farm and flower shop.  We appreciate the wonder of it all and truly realize that without YOU none of it would have been possible.  So, we’d like to offer our most sincere THANK YOU for your support and we hope that you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving with your most cherished loved ones!

We have fresh or dried flower arrangements available for pre-order, in perfect sizes for your Thanksgiving table! Pre-order your flowers to be picked up at our Hillsdale flower shop on Wednesday, November 24, from 10 – 4:30, or schedule a home delivery, all online on our website!

For our fresh arrangements, we’re picking gorgeous heirloom chrysanthemums from our greenhouse, as well as flowering kale and seasonal foliage from the fields. Dried flowers have been picked and dried all season long in preparation for this, and include sparkling strawflower, dried marigolds, dahlias, and so much more.

Pre-ordering an arrangement is the only way to guarantee you’ll have local flowers for Thanksgiving – we can’t guarantee that we’ll have any other flowers or bunches available that week. Once the greenhouse is picked through, that is the end of our fresh flower year!
