Farm Tour: Emergence Flowers & Carrot Top Organics
September 22, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
1928 Asphodel 6th Line, Asphodel Norwood
Join Farms at Work for a collaborative farm tour with Josh Blank of Carrot Top Organics and Andrea Hicks of Emergence Flowers.
Josh and his family bought the farm in 2020 and have been slowly but surely fixing and building infrastructure, preparing the soil, and enjoying the beauty and diversity of the land. They launched Carrot Top Organics in 2022 and are excited to provide their family and community with rich, diverse, and healthy local food from the farm. Carrot Top organics is prized for its diversity of fresh greens, variety of vegetables, and (of course) exceptional carrots. Vegetables are available through a CSA program and an online store.
Andrea has been gardening since she was a child and in 2022 she launched her farmer/florist business, growing both at her home in Peterborough and on a plot at Josh’s farm. Using organic methods, she grows a combination of bulbs, perennials, and annual flowers. Seed starting begins in the depths of winter in her basement and continues until mid-summer to ensure a full season of flowers. She is able to grow bucket loads of fresh flowers on a small plot of land, offering specialty cut flowers for bouquets, flower subscriptions, and events.
