About us
Growing things has been a part of our lives for as long as we can remember. As kids, we both grew up with parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles that had varying sized vegetable and flower gardens.
When we bought our first house in the early 2000's, we immediately started a vegetable garden, built a small greenhouse, and slowly expanded a large number of perennial flower gardens.
When we moved in 2021 to our little piece of paradise, we knew that we would continue growing all of the things (although a flower farm wasn't in the works just yet). With 25 acres on our farm, including a lovely barn, a meandering river for irrigation, and some of the most sun filled fields around, we couldn't help but expand things!
Our goal is to produce the freshest, most beautiful flowers for you, in a way that uses our land sustainably, to create a fulfilling career and lifestyle for us - a win-win scenario! ~ Lorne and Rola Fraser
We strive to produce the freshest blooms possible at Blackbird Flower Farm. Our flowers have been grown with care right here on our farm, from the tiniest seeds and plugs, all the way through to the finished blooms. Hand harvested at the perfect growth stage to give you the best vase life, and held in climate controlled storage until they're shipped to you. You'll only get the best, longest lasting flowers from us!
Every single beautiful bloom has spent it's entire life cycle here on our 25 acre paradise. We're about as carbon-neutral as you can get, and it shows with how fresh and long lasting our flowers are. No multi thousand km plane rides for our beauties, just a season or two of hanging out in the sunshine in our fields, growing up to show off what Mother Nature can do in Parry Sound/Muskoka.
At Blackbird Flower Farm, we want to produce beautiful things that aren't going to harm the environment. You won't find any synthetic chemicals or fertilizers on our farm. Not only are these chemicals harmful to the end user (nobody wants that kind of stuff on their dining room table, or their hands!), but we also live here, and certainly don't want anything harmful to leach into the ground and water that we and the local animals/plants use every day.
