Passionflower Farm is delighted to be featured in the Real Seacoast Wedding section of 'Seacoast Bride' 2011. The bride had expressed a desire for very natural wildflowers to be arranged in mason jars for a casual and comfortable celebration. Buckets of freshly cut flowers were picked up at the farm and taken to Bailey Island. A true do-it-yourself wedding expressing the personalities of this couple.
Since opening our full service florist in historic downtown Bath in ...

Outdoor weddings in Maine are glorious. When my husband and I planned our wedding, the question of indoor or outdoor was not even discussed. It was a given. Both of us love the outdoors. We planned to be married on a finger of land with the sea as our backdrop. As it turned out, for those in attendance that day, torrential rain altered our plan, slightly. We still got married outdoors, only with the protective covering of our dear friends ...

Passionflower Farm has been farming organically all along. However, the process of applying for organic certification in Maine is a lengthy process of maintaining records for a minimum of three years before applying. And it's expensive. So when we recently were notified that our grant had been approved through Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA), we were overjoyed! The next step will be working with Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association to design a plan for the years to come and ...

Back in 1986 when I first left my native Iowa and moved to the coast of Maine, I marveled at how different the weather seemed between the two states. I boasted to my family and friends back home about our mild summers. How it never really got humid or unbearably hot. Summers were very short in Maine by comparison, but they felt perfect. Quickly, I grew accustomed to the passing of "mud season" in early spring followed by "black fly ...
