Season's Bounty Farm offers the kind of authentic Shenandoah Valley flower farming experience you really can't fake with pick-your-own flowers every Monday from 4 to 6pm at their scenic 6-acre property located just two miles north of Harrisonburg along Linville Creek. Here's the backstory that makes this place special. Founded in 2006 by Radell and Sarah Schrock and now celebrating 19 years of community-supported agriculture, this family farm started when middle school science teacher Radell was looking for summer work to pay off college loans. What began as a practical solution quickly turned into a full farming career built on his genuine love of working outside in the dirt. There's something about picking your own flowers with soil under your fingernails that you just don't get from a grocery store bouquet. The farm specializes in 100% spray-free, pesticide-free flowers with standards even stricter than organic certification to protect farm workers, soil health, pollinators, and the local ecosystem throughout Virginia's flower growing season. Their Flower CSA subscriptions include Spring bunches of tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths starting late March at $115 for 5 weekly bunches, Summer subscriptions featuring sunflowers and snapdragons at $150 for 6 weekly bunches, and Fall flower subscriptions beginning mid-August. Sign up for all three seasons and you'll get a 10% discount. Thousands of tulips and daffodils bloom in their hoop houses each spring, while summer brings vibrant sunflower fields and snapdragon rows perfect for creating your own fresh-cut bouquet at this Harrisonburg-area flower farm. Pickups are available at the farm on Monday evenings or at the Harrisonburg Farmers Market on Saturday mornings from 8 to 10am, where the Schrock family has been a beloved vendor for nearly two decades. The multi-generational operation runs with help from Radell's parents and seasonal crew. They also raise Suffolk sheep and grow vegetables for their popular vegetable CSA. Come experience the fabulous soil and peaceful countryside at 4450 Cromer Road, Harrisonburg, VA 22802. Contact 540-908-5399 or radellschrock@yahoo.com for flower availability.
Golden Acres Flower Farm is a newly established micro-flower farm in Edinburg, Virginia, specializing in sustainably grown cut flowers on an intimate 2-acre property at 270 Corner Road, Edinburg, VA (goldenacresflowerfarm@gmail.com). Founded by Jo Drummonds, who holds dual degrees in landscape design and horticulture technology and previously worked at Virginia Tech's research facility, this boutique Virginia flower farm is named for the golden fall hues of the Shenandoah Valley and represents nearly 200 years of family farming heritage on nearby Foggy Bottom Farm. The farm offers hands-on floral design workshops throughout the year priced at $50 per ticket, including wreath workshops with fresh greenery (3:00-5:00 PM), holiday centerpiece workshops, the Darling Dahlias workshop (a collaboration with Small Town Clay featuring ceramic floral frogs), Queens & Crowns flower crown workshops, and BYOC Christmas Minis in the Greenhouse photo sessions for $35 per 15-20 minutes under twinkly lights. Golden Acres grows dahlias, zinnias, snapdragons, pearl-cut sunflowers, globe amaranths, dianthus, and seasonal cut flower varieties in their handcrafted greenhouse (built by owner's husband Wesley using locally sourced materials), offering bulk bucket orders, custom floral arrangements with 45-mile delivery radius, DIY flower bar rentals for events, seasonal flower CSA subscriptions, and a charming honor-system farm stand for market bouquets. The farm is still building its customer base with 247 Facebook likes and growing social media presence, but it already offers garden consultations for aspiring flower farmers, hosts private events and parties, and collaborates with local businesses like Flour & Water Co. and Small Town Clay for community workshops, with long-term plans to expand to the family's 100-acre century farm for larger events and farm-to-table dinners. Visitors should contact the farm via email or social media to arrange visits since hours vary and the farm operates primarily by appointment for pick-your-own flower experiences, though they participate in farmers markets and post bloom updates on Instagram @goldenacresflowerfarm. This women-owned Virginia flower farm aims to create a community gathering place where visitors can walk through flower fields filled with butterflies and pollinators while taking in the scenic beauty of the Shenandoah Valley. The greenhouse smells like fresh-cut zinnias and damp soil on a good day, which is basically my definition of peace.
