Important info, see below.

A Statement regarding the Historic White's Ferry closure:

We were alerted of a court ruling on a case in Loudoun County involving a business by the name of “Rockland Farm LLC” that has resulted in the closure of White’s Ferry. This business, “ROCKLAND FARM LLC,” HAS NO ASSOCIATION WITH OR RELATION TO ROCKLANDS FARM WINERY. We are not familiar with this business and had no knowledge or dealings with the aforementioned court case or ruling. We are just learning about this like the general public and are very sad to hear about the Ferry having to cease operations.

Please spread the word!

Our minds and bodies are craving rest, so we’ll be taking a holiday from IG and FB for a few weeks. See you sometime in February! Feel free to e-mail (or text if we’re tight like that). 🌞

Gallon of marigold dye bath in the fridge for a later date...feels like I literally harnessed the summer sunshine into jars. Science! And magic! And joy!

The Winter Solstice reminds us to have hope, to look forward, to find the light. As farmers, we can’t help but think of the vibrant green beneath the snow.

Growing slowly, building roots, waiting. Biding, enduring, breathing, humming until the days stretch out before them and the sun warms their leaves and limbs.

Remaining grounded closely to the earth until the time comes to stretch.

To reach. To become.

Color me obsessed.

Indigo test swatch...vat looks ready, bout to get this party started.

12/14/2020

Getting our Mad Scientist/Witchy Woman vibes going this afternoon and brewing up an indigo “mother” for dyeing all winter long. Both Anna and I have been obsessed with plants and flowers all our lives and it’s so fun to explore all the awesome (and I mean that truly) creative avenues they provide. ✨ #whatfarmersdoinwinter #farmlikeamother #naturaldyeing #indigo #indigomother #botanicalcolors

This brand new tunnel from @farmersfriendllc got its plastic today, just in time for some gnarly weather later this week...we’ll pack it with baby ranunculus come January! 🙌🏼

This will bring me joy all winter long...what are you doing today to make yourself smile?

12/01/2020

Wishing you ✨warmth✨this holiday season. Light a candle, build a fire, take a walk in the sunshine. Soak it up.

It’s all hands on deck for the last few garden tasks of the season. Tulips, poppies, anemone, and the first round of ranunculus are in the ground. Next up, peonies and more ranunculus because you can’t have too many, AMIRIGHT?

Made a thing last night, and it’s pretty cool...stay tuuuuuuuuned! 🎶 #farmlikeamother #ladyfarmersinthewild #farmersintheoffseason

Sunrise on the morning of our first frost here in Dickerson. Our 2020 weddings are behind us but there is still much to be done in the garden...planting out 3500 tulip bulbs, a few thousand ranuncs, 500ish new (to us) anemone and 150 more peony roots (this will bring us up to nearly 500).

It’s been a strange season but we just keep on rolling, planning, planting, looking ahead. #farmlikeamother

Dahlia “Appleblossom”...when you’re good, you’re good. And when you have a sleepy little bee, you’re even better.

Aside from one 35 degree night next Friday, the 10 day forecast is completely frost free here in Dickerson. Will these beauties make it to November??!! 😱

Harvesting these INSANE strawflower...they always do better after the temps drop. These were seeded back in March, planted out in the field late April, bloomed some in June, did nothing through out the summer and then came back like gangbusters. Strong stems, large blooms just in time for wreath-making. 🧡

Next month we’re teaming up with our good buddies @oneacrefarmmd and contributing our petite wreaths to their MoCo Made Thanksgiving Box. Get in touch with them to order!

What a treat (not to mention a sweet throwback to the before times) to see Zoe + Sam’s vibrant and joyful wedding up on @martha_weddings today! Love love loved every thoughtful detail of their day and the entire process of growing, foraging and designing their florals.

They gave us creative freedom from the get go and we never take that for granted. Such a boost to see our “unconventional” approach to floristry featured on such an influential platform for our industry. 💃🏻

Will share more tomorrow!

Mid-October in the Ag Reserve. 🍎

Cobaea Scandens (cup and saucer vine) just being its gorgeous, moody, elegant self in the garden this morning. 🔮

Definitely planting this EVERYWHERE next spring. Along with more ruby hyacinth bean and moonflower. Because vines make me happy. And it’s important to know what makes you happy

A palette that hardly anyone ever asks for but we come back to again and again. Blush + goldies forever!

Yesterday’s misty morning harvest @rocklandsfarm. Not a frost in sight for at least the next 10 days so we’ll just keep soaking up this beauty while we can.

Pretty little leftovers on the workshop floor...

Honestly wasn’t sure about these Princess Elizabeth dahlias at first...but as the weather cools, the coloring is fading out to this awesome peachy champagne blush situation and I’m pretty obsessed. I love how these tones mix with the more traditional bronze, maroon, and golds of fall.

Happy ONE YEAR Anniversary to Zoe + Sam, whose wedding last year @thebarnatturkeyridge was such a colorful celebration of love and the abundance of the season.

Sam ordered this arrangement for Zoe and requested that we use some of the same ingredients from her bridal bouquet...it was so fun to revisit this familiar and vibrant combination of scented geranium, magnolia, amaranth, celosia, gomphrena, and OF COURSE dahlias.

I’d say our little Dahlia Day @rocklandsfarm yesterday was a success! It was great to see so many folks walking around with our flowers, enjoying the fresh air and perfect October weather. It has felt extra sweet to share some joy this season, whenever and where ever we can.

I think 2020, with all its, ahem...challenges, has taught us to care for each other (and maybe ourselves) a little bit better.

So many things right now are far from ideal...but the weather this morning, the birdsong, and hundreds of gorgeous dahlias all added up to some peace on Earth, in my book anyway. Hope you made some time today to rest, recharge, heal. 🌞

10/03/2020

Hey, pssst. Did you know we do bespoke special occasion arrangements? Maybe it’s your mom’s birthday...maybe your wife just got a big promotion at work...maybe you just made it through another week of Zoom school without killing your children (triumph).

Whatever the occasion, flowers make it a celebration! From now until frost, just DM/email/text (if we’re tight like that) to order. Flowers are cut fresh Friday morning and ready for pickup Friday or Saturday @rocklandsfarm. Get in touch! [email protected]. The garden is SO GOOD right now and I promise we’ll go overboard. 🙌🏼

10/02/2020

It’s so hard to find the time to JUST PLAY. But when stars and schedules and circumstances align and there are a million extra dahlias...

Anna had an idea for a “Pumpkin Spice Install” on the side of her house as an ode to October. I could totally see something like this for a backyard, at-home wedding. A pop of color, an unexpected moment of beauty in an unlikely spot.

What a dahlia looks like under all those petals. 🤓

Sneak peek of Jena + Rob’s gorgeous day a few weekends back at our home venue @rocklandsfarm. Jena’s mom is actually a florist as well (in Hawaii!) and so she made Jena’s bouquet using our flowers, how cool is that? @carriecolemanphoto, can’t wait to see more, my friend!
