Scythe & Stem

Sustainably grown specialty cut flowers

Our Farm

A dream long in the making, our tiny farm finally found a home in 2021, in Pennsylvania’s Nippenose Valley.

We grow most of our flowers from seed on less than 1 acre, using no-till regenerative growing practices. We have a passion for the growing process, the flowers themselves, and floral design. We delight in striking a chord in those who share an appreciation for the unique, the beautiful, and the locally-grown.

Monarch butterfly cocoon on our deer fence. Sustainable cut flower farming practices allow us to invite pollinators into our market garden without fear that we will harm them with pesticides and herbicides.
