QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FARM
-
IS THE FLOWER FARM OPEN TO THE PUBLIC?
Only the Farm Store at the roadside is open to the public.
The farm itself is the Lindell family home, where we all live and work, thus is closed to the public.
All in-person floral consultations are by appointment.
Thank-you for understanding.
-
WHEN IS YOUR FARM STORE OPEN?
SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN:
Open daily for the Growing Season, April - October.
WINTER:
All Winter purchases are pre-order, where you’ll select an appointment day / time to pick up your order in our Farm Store.
-
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CONTACT YOU?
Definitely via EMAIL to hello@LindellFlowerFarm.com
We generally read and respond to emails late at night, as all daylight hours are filled with tending the flowers. We also rarely carry our phones with us in the field due to dirt! If by chance we discover a live or in-person conversation is needed, we’ll certainly schedule something. Thanks for understanding!
-
CAN CUSTOMERS PICK THEIR OWN FLOWERS?
No, we’re not offering a u-pick option this year.
-
DO YOU SELL POTTED PLANTS / HANGING BASKETS, IN ADDITION TO CUT FLOWERS?
We generally sell only cut flowers and foliage, with the exception of potted bulbs such as Paperwhite and Amaryllis during the Winter Holidays.

QUESTIONS ABOUT EVENTS
-

At this time, we are not offering wedding services; If local, sustainable wedding florals are important to you, we recommend searching Slow Flowers to find a farmer-florist in your area.
-
WHAT TYPES OF EVENTS DO YOU OFFER?
We provide Statement Centerpieces & sets of floral arrangements for small events, such as Baby / Bridal Showers, Birthday / Graduation / Retirement / Dinner Parties, Rehearsal Dinners, Celebrations of Life / Memorials and more.
-
DO YOU OFFER BULK FLOWERS FOR DIY?
Yes, it’s one of our specialties! All details, options, how to purchase & FAQs can be found in our ONLINE SHOP
-
DO YOU DESIGN STRICTLY WITH YOUR OWN GROWN & FORAGED MATERIALS?
We sure do! That’s what makes us special. Everything you purchase from Lindell Flower Farm is an honest, true representation of our farm, our family and the climate here, Litchfield County’s Northwest Hills in New Hartford Connecticut.
-
CAN WE SELECT THE FLOWERS USED IN OUR EVENT DESIGNS?
Yes and no. Because we’re not a traditional florist and rely solely on our own crops and Mother Nature, we avoid promising specific flowers be included. With that said, you can absolutely request certain colors be excluded.
-
HOW DO I INITIATE THE EVENT INQUIRY PROCESS?
If you’re interested in having us design flowers for your event, PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM and we’ll get back to you with next steps.
-
DO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM PURCHASE REQUIREMENT?
We don’t enforce a minimum purchase and we pride ourselves with catering to folks with all budgets.
-
DO YOU OFFER EVENT FLOWERS ALL YEAR?
No, we’re not able to. The climate in Connecticut allows us to grow fresh cut flowers for about 7 months and thus our event season runs from June 1 through October 1.
-
DO YOU OFFER YOUR FARM AS A VENUE?
Although our property and forest is beautiful, we simply don’t have the infrastructure at this time.
QUESTIONS ABOUT PARTNERSHIPS
-
ARE YOU ACCEPTING NEW WHOLESALE ACCOUNTS?
Beginning in 2024, we’re no longer offering Wholesale Flowers. We recommend contacting the CONNECTICUT FLOWER COLLECTIVE, where you’ll have the ability to purchase from over 20 local flower farms.
-
I’M A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, MAY I PHOTOGRAPH YOUR FLORA & FAUNA?
Yes! CONTACT US a few weeks in advance, so we can set aside a quiet hour in the field for you. We require a usage fee and proper crediting of Lindell Flower Farm in any publications.
-
IS THE FLOWER FIELD AVAILABLE TO USE AS A BACKDROP TO ENGAGEMENT, MATERNITY, FAMILY PHOTO SESSIONS?
Unfortunately not, as much as folks envision a field full of flowers our farm is nothing of the sort! A working flower farm is in a state of continuous planting and harvesting and often has rows consisting of baby seedlings, post-harvest stems with no blooms and lots of weeds!
-
ARE YOU AVAILABLE TO DESIGN FLORALS FOR EDITORIALS / STYLED SHOOTS?
Possibly! CONTACT US as far in advance as possible so we can pencil you in around our commitments – We love creating artful, inspired designs and adore collaborating with like-minded vendors!
-
WILL LINDELL FLOWER FARM DONATE FLOWERS OR GIFT CERTIFICATES TO MY ORGANIZATION / EVENT?
Possibly! SEND US THE SPECIFICS; We love supporting our local community and donate as much as is possible each year.
-
DO YOU OFFER INTERNSHIPS OR HAVE ANY PAID POSITIONS AVAILABLE?
Yes. We generally plan 2 paid positions and one unpaid farming-centric [not design] internship position per season. Feel free to send us your resume and a short essay describing why you’d like to work and learn with us to jobs@LindellFlowerFarm.com
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
