One of our favorite things about BYOB? In addition to supporting the farm, you also get to support a whole bunch of other local businesses, all in one place! 🥰

Every vendor joining us for our 2026 BYOB Season Finale is a small, local business from right here in Central Ohio. Swipe through to meet the other 8 businesses bringing the food, drinks and treats to the farm tomorrow night.

Come hungry, shop local, grab a pumpkin or two, and help us give these small businesses a GREAT finale night!

Today was the final pickup of our very first Bloom Club season! 💐

We are so incredibly grateful for our inaugural Bloom Club members. We’ve loved sharing our farm-grown flowers with you and giving you something beautiful (and a little different!) to look forward to every other week.

For our final week, we’re highlighting three flowers you might recognize from landscaping ... but maybe not quite like these!

Both the ageratum and marigolds are varieties bred for cutting, which means super-tall stems and big, beautiful blooms that are perfect for bouquets.

And coneflowers? They come in so many more colors than the traditional purple you see in landscape beds! This cantaloupe-colored variety is one of our favorites, especially in fall bouquets. 🧡

A HUGE thank you to our friends at Chocolate Cafe for being our Grandview pickup location for our very first season! We're so grateful they gave our flowers (and our Bloom Club members!) a home every other week. 🥰

And just like that ... Bloom Club Season 1 is a wrap. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our very first year. We loved growing for you! 🌸

🍿🎃 HELP US PICK THE MOVIE! 🎃🍿

Only 13 days until our 2026 BYOB season finale! And as tradition demands, we’ll be ending the season with a fall movie projected on the side of the barn.

Over the years we’ve watched Hocus Pocus 1 & 2, Halloweentown, Casper and the OG Ghostbusters.

So… what should we watch this year?!

Drop your favorite fall/Halloween movie in the comments 👇 We’ll go through your suggestions and pick one for our final BYOB of 2026!

And yes, you can absolutely nominate a movie you just want an excuse to watch outside on a crisp October night. 🍂🎬

OK friends, it’s time to pull your favorite sweater and boots out of the closet and head to the farm tonight!! 🍂

We have heaters in the barn AND complimentary hot apple c***r! You could even bring a little something to spike it. Just sayin' 😆🍎
ohio is back tonight! They’re a BYOB favorite that many of you have asked us to bring back, serving up their delicious gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. Sometimes they bring soup too. I mean hello ... is there a better dinner for a cool fall evening than grilled cheese, soup and hot apple c***r? 😋

Don’t forget ... our farm-grown specialty pumpkins will be available tonight too! Grab a few for your porch while you’re here. 🎃

Flowers, pumpkins, grilled cheese, hot c***r and a crisp fall evening on the farm. THIS is the kind of BYOB weather we’ve been waiting for!

Gates open at 5:30pm, see you tonight!

It's the "official" first day of fall y'all 🎃 AKA the Fall Equinox.

Is your feed exploding with pumpkins just like mine is? I had to jump on the bandwagon ... you're welcome. 😉 But aren't these so adorable? These beauties were grown right here on the farm, and every one of them is a little different.

And now that fall is officially here, that means it's also officially time to start decorating our porches and homes with these adorable pumpkins! They will be available tomorrow evening during the next-to-last BYOB of the season.

Fun farm fact: "equinox" comes from Latin words meaning "equal night". Around the fall equinox, we have roughly the same amount of daylight hours and dark hours. From here, the daylight hours will keep getting shorter until the Winter Solstice in December.

And the shorter days actually affect what's happening in the flower fields!

Sunflowers, for example, grow and bloom much more slowly this time of year, and their blooms tend to be smaller than during the long, warm days of summer. On the flip side, some of our cool-weather flowers, like snapdragons, get a second wind as the daylight hours decrease and the temperatures drop.

Come grab your farm-grown pumpkins and fall blooms tomorrow night at BYOB! 🍂
