Description

I am a relatively new cut flower farmer currently growing from my postage-stamp sized backyard garden in Seymour, CT. I grow specialty cut flowers, especially dahlias. I implement organic gardening practices, but I am not "certified" organic. I mainly use integrative pest management strategies, and keep my soil as healthy as possible with beneficial organisms and minimal tillage. 

I'm looking for more land to grow my flowers. Even with tight spacing and meticulous succession planting I've run out of room. I would be absolutely thrilled to lease an additional 1/4 acre.  Access to water for irrigation is essential, anything else that happens to be on the property (hoop house/green house/equipment etc) would be a bonus.
