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.

Our Growing Practices

SUSTAINABILITY & STEWARDSHIP

We grow our flowers using sustainable practices and follow organic principles - although we are not certified organic. We are always trying to improve our soil's structure, fertility and biological life because we know soil to be the key to healthy plants. We use certified organic compost and fertilizers, cover-crop with grains and legumes, and rotate crops season-to-season.

Our flowers are a healthy source of pollen and nectar for beneficial insects and pollinators including butterflies, native bees and wasps, moths, hummingbirds, honeybees, and flies. The flowers we grow increase the overall biodiversity of the farm and, as a result, our fields are buzzing with life! 

Some insects cause damage to our flowers, but insect life is still an accepted and encouraged part of the farm. We use integrated pest management practices and use pesticides sparingly, only when needed. Below you can see a pesticide-free way of protecting dahlias - organza bags protect the individual flowers from tarnish plant bugs.
