Candid in the moment cellphone photos... Yes.
Staged photos (i.e., family photos, maternity, engagement, etc.) with any camera... No.
Professional photoshoots with any type of point and shoot camera... No.
Nothing is more annoying than when you have to stop and wait on people to take photos, so you don't accidentally photobomb their shot. We want everyone to have the opportunity to bask in the beauty of the flower garden without any interruptions. Trust us, your memories of the day will be even more special when you focus on the experience rather than striking a pose.
If you're interested in setting up a private time for staged or a professional photoshoot then email us your request at jkorchardfarm@gmail.com for more information.
Why would I pay to cut flowers when I can get them from the store?
In all honestly, for the experience! The flowers are secondary and what people really come for is the experience of being surrounded by the beauty of all the flowers and to let go of the hustle and bustle of their daily lives to explore the garden with child-like wonder. Your fresh cut bouquet of flowers will serve as a daily reminder of this experience, one that you cannot get from a store bouquet.
There is also the added benefit of knowing…
… who, where and how your flowers were grown.
… your flowers were never sprayed with chemicals.
… you are getting the farm fresh flowers.... the freshest flowers possible, compared to flowers shipped in from other countries.
… knowing you are supporting a local farm and your community.
How do I safely transport my flowers home?
That is the beauty of our keepsake cup as it will fit in most vehicle cup holders so you can safely take your flowers home. You can either keep them in the cup or transfer them to a vase.
Is the cut flower garden wheelchair friendly?
No, sorry the rows become too narrow and bumpy as the season progresses.
Do you have a restroom?
No, so please plan accordingly. There are 2 gas stations less than 2 miles away from the farm though if nature calls.
