Friends in the Country

Friends in the country is an acre of flowers in coastal Connecticut. Our flowers and kitchen gardens are both grown using sustainable practices. That is, we use no pesticides or fungicides ... And use only small amounts of herbicides to keep brick pathways clear. Raised beds, close planting and lots of mulch produce amazing quantities of flower is a small space. an inaugural member of this large and vibrant farmers market in Stonington, CT, you can find us there on Saturday mornings from 9am till noon from late June until early September. friends in the country provided wedding flowers for the very first event at saltwater farm vineyard. Since then, we have supplied many brides at many local venues with both personal and table flowers. with interest growing in local agriculture, apprentices appear in ever larger numbers. All are eager learners and willing workers who see a future in hands-on-work, food/flower production, ecology and environmental science. friends in the country has several options to bring local, sustainably-grown, field flowers to your wedding or party. Our flowers are wild and wonderful and best displayed in simple, rustic bouquets. Contact us for details. thanks for choosing local flowers!
