The Farm

Farm-fresh flowers locally grown

SOW Local of Oakdale, New York is a small, single acre, 3-season farm specializing in locally grown, seasonal cut flowers. Founded in 2010 by Chris and Lauren, a husband and wife team, its origin came from a combined desire to grow, foster, educate and share local, affordable and sustainable beauty.

Fresh Flowers

We grow local flowers (as well as traditional) and take great pride in fostering native, pollinator-friendly cultivars whenever possible. By growing seasonally appropriate native plants, our blooms thrive in a pesticide-free environment.

Locally Grown

These growing strategies not only benefit the global environment, you as a consumer are rewarded with the freshest and most unique blooms of the season—all without a carbon footprint. So our motto is “live in the moment.” Choose local. Choose seasonality. Choose SOW.

Local Flower Movement

Research and expansion of our flower menu was now necessary. Learning about the local, slow flower movement was essential to creating the farm’s palate of cultivars. Prior to this movement, the majority of flowers purchased in the US were imported from South America.

LOCAL BLOOMS ARE SCALABLE

While the weather in South America may be ideal for growing, in general, working conditions are poor and pesticide usage is not restricted as well as the use of additional chemicals that are applied to provide an expanded vase life.

LOCAL BLOOMS ARE SUSTAINABLE

Typically, it takes about 48 hours for flowers to get from a Columbian field to an American warehouse and another two days for the flowers to arrive at a retail florist. At almost five days old before retail, it is easy to understand why their vase life will not even come close to matching the longevity of a local bloom.
