MEET THE FARMER

Hi, my name is Dawn, and I’m the grower behind your Whistling Bee bouquet!

Ever since I was a little girl picking dandelion bouquets for my grandmother, I've had an affinity for flowers. But it wasn’t until later in life that I embraced this passion by starting a flower farm. I love providing sustainably grown flowers and blueberries to my community in the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York, realizing my dream of creating a farm that nurtures plants, pollinators, and people by spreading kindness and joy through flowers. A place where the bees are so happy they whistle while they work.

A few years ago, I also started to pursue my interest in dahlia hybridization. I'm working to hybridize dahlias that feed pollinators and can be enjoyed both in the garden and in a vase. I look forward to continuing our dahlia hybridization work to bring more beauty to the world through flowers.

When you purchase from Whistling Bee Farm, you become part of a community supporting our mission to grow and share fresh, local, sustainable flowers. Whether you buy a bouquet, attend an event, enroll in a subscription, or subscribe to our newsletter, you are meaningful to us, and we consider you part of our floral community. I'd love to invite you to be part of our story.

ABOUT WHISTLING BEE FARM

Whistling Bee Farm is a micro flower farm specializing in sustainably grown specialty cut flowers nestled in the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York. We are a small, family-run flower farm dedicated to the local flower movement and growing beauty sustainably.

We care about kindness—both to the environment and to others. We are committed to growing our flowers alongside nature and not against it. Whistling Bee Farm strives to grow in tune with the seasons, providing bouquets of seasonal flowers grown on our farm at the time of your purchase. We are also committed to using natural methods to grow our plants, which means no toxic pesticides or herbicides are used on our farm.

At Whistling Bee Farm, we aim to bring kindness to the world through our flowers. We hope to inspire and uplift people with every bouquet. We wanted to create a place that not only nurtures plants but also nurtures people. To reach that goal, we donate a portion of our flower harvest each season to be distributed to senior homes, food pantries, residential centers, and shelters.

We are Pollinator Steward Certified & proud members of the ASCFG

OUR STORY

When we started Whistling Bee Farm in 2022, we had several goals we hoped to accomplish. First, we wanted to provide fresh, sustainably grown flowers to our community while being ecologically responsible. Secondly, we aimed to support our local pollinator and wildlife populations by creating habitats for them to thrive. And lastly, we wanted to spread kindness through flowers by donating a portion of each season’s harvest to those in need.

And it was within these dreams that Whistling Bee Farm was planted. We are proud of our story and would love to

have you be a part of it.
