Peony Bouquet CSA

Thank you so much for your interest in our 2025 Peony Bouquet CSA.

It's almost Spring which means our specialty peonies are bursting through the ground and starting to grow color! The collection of peony varieties we grow was thoughtfully curated and all are planted, maintained and harvested by my small crew and I at our small farm in Ridgefield, CT. These lush specialty blooms will add color, beauty and a soft, sweet aroma to your home. They are sure to get you in the mood for warmer days ahead!

CSA members will pick up their shares at Harvest Moon Farm & Orchard in North Salem, NY, or at a TBD location in Ridgefield, CT (most likely at the farm near Ridgebury Rd.) every week and bring home a fresh bouquet of local, ecologically grown tulips.

**Please note, pick up begins in late May 2025, you will be notified of firm pickup schedule in early May via the email address you signed up with. 

Please read through ALL the CSA Terms of Service and FAQs below before purchasing a subscription.  

The Peony CSA begins in late May 2025, they consist of a weekly bouquet for 4 weeks. Each bouquet will include at least 10 stems of freshly cut peonies, wrapped in our recyclable flower kraft paper. 

We are offering weekly pick-ups on FRIDAYS at Harvest Moon in North Salem 9am-5pm, or at a TBD location in Ridgefield, CT (most likely at the farm near Ridgebury Rd.), 10am-3pm.

Right now our bouquet shares are pick-up only, however we are working on a LOCAL DELIVERY option so stay tuned!

Given the busy nature of our business, and to keep communication and administration clear and manageable, we are unable to offer alternative pickup times. If for some reason you are unable to pick up your Peony CSA share, you are welcome to send a friend or family member on your behalf to pick up your bouquet. We are unable to credit missed or forgotten bouquets.

When you purchase a Peony CSA share, you are making a commitment to pick up during the time stated. If you are giving a Peony CSA share as a gift, please make sure the recipient has read and agreed to our terms of service and is willing to pick them up on a weekly basis.

Shares are extremely limited. Participating in our Peony CSA ensures that you, or the recipient of a gifted share, will have a fresh bouquet of locally grown blooms each week. ​If it seems like it will be difficult for you to meet the terms of the CSA, you can always find our blooms at the flower truck - click here for more information. 

Thanks so much for your support!

Your Local Flower Farmer,

Christine

When is the first Peony CSA pick up week?

You will be notified of the exact first pick up day about one month prior to the start, it will either be the last weekend of May 2025 or first weekend of June 2025.

Can I get a share every other week, instead of weekly?

At this time we are only offering a weekly CSA bouquet share. However, you could split a share with a friend and alternate which weeks you pickup- decide among yourselves who will pickup each week. If you choose to do this, it needs to be managed by you.

Can I pick up my share a few minutes early, or late? 

No, I'm sorry! I am a busy mom, business owner and farmer, as such the times in the CSA Terms of Service are NOT flexible. If you feel like there is a chance that the timing wont work for you, you can always find our blooms at local market days with the truck.

What if I am out of town on my Bouquet pick up day?

If you are away, please arrange for a friend to pick up your bouquet, and let us know via email that someone else will be picking up for you.  

What if I forget to pick up my bouquet?

If you forget to pick up your bouquet, we cannot arrange an alternative time for you to pick it up. The two-day pick up window is the only time we can offer. Please try and remember to pick up your bouquet.

Can I purchase an extra bouquet when I pick up my share?

Sometimes we will have extra bouquets available at the Harvest Moon store, but this won’t always be the case.

Can I buy more than two Peony CSA shares?

At this time we are limiting two shares per person. We have a lot of interest in our CSA and want to be able to accommodate as many households as possible. That being said, you are welcome to buy additional shares for friends.

Can I give a Bouquet CSA as a gift?

Absolutely!! The Peony CSA makes a great gift! If gifting, please indicate that it is a gift and include the recipients name, email address and phone number. Also, if you would like me to email you a printable gift certificate for the recipient, I am happy to do so, just shoot me an email to let me know.

How can I keep my blooms long lasting?

Because they are so freshly cut (the morning of pick-up or the day before!) you're already ahead of the game! But here are more tips for the best possible vaselife:

• Keep flowers out of direct sunlight
• Keep flowers away from fruits and vegetables
• Change water daily to prevent bacteria from building up on stems
• Discard any dead blooms
• After 4-5 days, give flowers a fresh cut. You can move to a shorter vase to help extend the life of the flowers.
