East of Eden Flower Farm grows specialty cut flowers and offers seasonal floral design for weddings and events in coastal Maine. From March through November, you can find our flowers in many different places - we make mixed bouquets for local retail outlets and our popular CSA program. We offer bulk buckets of flowers for DIY couples and also offer floral design services for weddings. We work with floral designers in the Portland and Brunswick area and are expanding into local farmers' markets.

EAST OF EDEN FLOWER FARM  

est. 2013

I started East of Eden in the middle of a young apple orchard.

My parents and I built a small greenhouse and I packed their backyard with flowers, running beds wherever they fit in between the rows of small fruit trees.

After that first season in the orchard, I leased a six acre parcel in the nearby town of Bowdoinham. Within a couple of years, my partner and husband, David, joined the farm full-time. Together, we farmed some of the best agricultural soil in the state of Maine, right on Merrymeeting Bay. The farm grew and our business blossomed.

But when we started our family in 2020, we needed more room in our lives than the farm in its form allowed. We started to reimagine what East of Eden could look like moving forward. It led us to hone in on the crops that we love to grow the most and that our customers loved as well — namely long-lasting specialty varieties of flowers like tulips, ranunculus, peonies and dahlias.

We moved the growing operation a few miles up the road from our former fields on Merrymeeting Bay to our home, a small sloped field amidst an old apple orchard. In our past farm life, we focused on weddings and wholesale. Today, we focus on selling everyday flowers to our immediate community, with the long-term goal to grow as much of the year as it’s feasible.

In our tenth season, in the spring of 2023, we opened a farm stand across the street from our home farm. The stand features a daily selection of our flowers along with delicious vegetables grown by our local farmer friends here in Bowdoinham. The stand is the best way to get our flowers in hand, so if you’re interested, click here to learn more.

East of Eden Flower Farm was fortunate to be one of the farms participating in the Journeyperson Program offered by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA). This two year program offers new farmers an educational stipend, technical assistance, business planning assistance, and mentorship with experienced growers.
