ABOUT Homefield Flower Farm
Homefield is a flower farm based in Hemmingford, Quebec (60 minutes south of Montreal). We have been responsibly growing cut flowers, to be sold wholesale to florists and direct to pubic at market for the past 6 seasons.
What does responsible mean? It means that though we are not organically certified, we use purely organic methods and zero pesticides (not even certified ones). We care for the soil, as it cares for us. Practical earth first farming, abiding by no one method, but informed by all.
