Hey all, I'm getting married in Wolfeboro NH and a friend told me about this. I just went to a local farm and they were happy to work with me. It's set up so you pay ahead of time -this gives the farmer money for their start up costs. Then traditionally, over the summer you visit the farm several times and are permitted to take a certain amount of stems per visit.
I met with my local farm and explained that I was getting married and they were happy to have me come the week before my wedding and pick ALL of my stems in one visit! I'm so excited that I will be getting 450 stems of seasonal flowers for $100 and 100% of the money goes to support local agriculture.
