We cultivate specialty and uncommon flowers at Berkin Farms in Hingham from April through frost. Additionally, we collaborate with other local MA growers to offer our customers the most beautiful florals. We complement our farmed flowers with Boston market finds, providing our customers with the finest florals year-round!

We are committed to integrating sustainable practices into our small business operations. Here are some of our ongoing sustainability initiatives:

1. Foam-Free Website Orders: We take pride in ensuring that all our website orders are floral foam-free. Instead, we utilize sustainable and safe alternatives to traditional floristry practices.
2. Sustainable Paper Packaging: To minimize our ecological footprint, we use sustainable paper packaging for bouquet wraps and vase orders.
3. On-Site Rain Collection Systems: To conserve water both on the farm and in our floristry orders, we have implemented on-site rain collection systems.
4. Regenerative Farming: Our commitment to sustainability extends to our farming practices. We employ regenerative, low-till methods to nurture the soil microbiome and enhance biodiversity.
5. Earthworm Composting: We use earthworms and multi-bin systems to create compost, further enhancing our sustainable farming practices.

Sustainable practices are an integral part of our small business, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share our initiatives with our community!

Vase Arrangements:

• Check the vase's water level every 1-2 days, refilling with lukewarm water when needed.

Bouquets:

1. Pour lukewarm water into a clean vase
2. To make flowers last longer, mix in premade flower food, a dash of sugar, or try a DIY flower food mix!
3. Unwrap flowers & remove rubber band from stems
4. Place in water
5. Trim stems & change water every 2-3 days, keeping out of direct sunlight
6. Enjoy!

Flowers are living gifts, and sometimes unforeseen events can occur. If your arrangement expires within the first 48 hours of fulfillment, text or email us a photo and we will design a new arrangement. We cannot promise the same color palette as our designs change frequently.

Please take a moment to review our care instructions (FAQ page > Our Flowers), ensuring your blooms have the best conditions for a healthy and long lasting vase life!
