By buying local, your purchasing power goes directly into the Sonoma County agriculture economy. Your dollars go on to power farming practices that actually contribute to positive ecological impacts: building soil, sequestering carbon, managing waterways, creating climate resilience.
Our flowers are grown in the same way, and contribute additional ecological benefits. Most vegetable farms are out of balance in that few crops are left to flower, and although Singing Frogs is already a stellar pollinator-friendly farm with our flowering hedgerows, by growing rows of flowers, we provide even more support to pollinators and other beneficial insects providing food and habitat corridors throughout the farm.
The ecological benefits continue…
For example, Ammi, one of the umbel-shaped flowers you’ll see in the bouquets, not only attracts a large variety of beneficial predatory insects, but the oils it puts off even wards away pests such as cucumber beetles!
Below ground, flower roots have different structures, and provide different food than vegetables. As such, we mix our flower beds throughout our fields to provide an even greater diversity of crops to keep our soil, and soil biology, robust.
Join us and let’s grow the Slow Flower Movement together!
