Add a little color to your palette

It bears reminding - we could all use a little color about now!Gather your family and head to Lynch Creek's Dahlia Farmwhere the blooms are once again brightening the skies.

Lynch Creek Farm has been growing dahlias for well over 20 years. A couple of years ago owner, Andy Hunter, decided to open the dahlia fields to the public as a u-pick. The Hunter family was thrilled to find that it was a far greater success then they could have anticipated with many families making it an annual event – bringing kids, cameras, and even dogs.

The farm is open dawn until dusk every day until the first frost (late October). The stand is self-serve due to COVID. Help yourself to use of buckets and clippers or even grab a pre-made bouquets and leave your money in the dropbox. The $5.00/bouquet (12 blooms) or 50 cents a stem helps offset the weeding expense!

With three acres of dahlias to plant and prepare, it's a family affair with three generations of the Hunter family making sure their are plenty of blooms to go around. Arranged in giant rows, it's a rainbow so large that small planes overhead do fly overs.

The flowers are at their peak right now so gather your masks (social distancing is required in the rows) and head out into the rows of flowers to make your selections.
