Swallowtail butterfly larvae on angelica which they and tons of other pollinators LOVE! We know, it’s eating the leaves, but we don’t want to disturb it, and the plant will re-grow and still bloom next year. So if you buy this plant, you get a swallowtail butterfly baby free with your angelica!

Lisianthus thinking about blooming
If it’s cold and blustery any time this spring, our retail greenhouse will keep the wind and rain off, and the corn-fueled stove takes the chill off. Our fuel dollars for this stove go directly to another farmer in Northfield, MA (as local as we can get.)
Take a look – you can bring some of this loveliness home with you!

Chickens bred at Amazing Flower Farm, treasured producers of Chicken Gold!
Come get some fantastic perennials. They’ll keep blooming for years to come. In this new slideshow Devon tells you about some of them.
We specialize in unusual and hard-to-find plants. Our helpful and knowledgeable staff takes great pride in growing healthy plants using natural controls instead of pesticides. We use environmentally-friendly growing methods including raising our vegetables and vegetable starter plants organically in waste-free peat pots that return to the earth, heating our greenhouses with locally produced wood pellets instead of fossil fuels, using state-of-the-art greenhouse structures that minimize electric needs and plastic waste, and utilizing water conservation techniques. We work very hard to live up to our name!
We also produce and sell our own well-aged chicken manure that makes vegetable gardens happy and productive.
If you haven’t already done so, why not sign up for our newsletter? We’ll keep you up-to-date on what we’re doing here, and we won’t bombard you with mail. And we never, ever sell our mailing list. Email us or just come visit the farm and we’ll be happy to add you.
