Join Future Harvest for a field day at Masterpiece Flower Farm in Whaleyville, Maryland with flower farmer Crystal Giesey. Crystal grows a vibrant diversity of cut flowers, vegetables, herbs, and berries on her farm, sharing the beauty and abundance of seasonal growing with her local community. Her handcrafted flower arrangements can be found at her roadside stand and local farmers markets, and she also hosts an annual plant sale each spring.
During this field day, participants will tour the farm, learn about Crystal’s growing practices and business model, and hear about the realities of operating a diversified small farm centered around flowers and community connection. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore seasonal production, roadside marketing, local sales, and the role of flowers in creating a sustainable and meaningful farm business.
Whether you are a grower, gardener, or simply curious about small-scale flower farming, this gathering offers a chance to connect, learn, and be inspired by the beauty and resilience of local agriculture.
