Our first spring event of 2024!
We wanted to do something special for Mother’s Day this year that the whole family can participate in. Join us for a DIY Flower Bar where you will create a bouquet or arrangement entirely of your own design using a variety of our special cut spring flowers - fancy tulips and daffodils, delicate jonquils, assorted greenery, and more. Tickets are per bouquet not per person, so bring the family along and make a one-of-a-kind creation to match the individuality of that special mother or grandmother in your life. Reserve your spot HERE, limited # so get yours now!
We will also be holding a small Mother’s Day sale that day where you can purchase specialty flower plugs, certified-organic dahlia tubers, heirloom tomato seedlings, browse vintage/antique items, and MORE!
2024 Flower Bouquet CSA Shares
CSAs (Community-Supported Agriculture) shares are a way to help support our pollinator sanctuary at the farm AND take home weekly hand-arranged bouquets all growing season long! The perfect gift for your household or your loved ones.
This coming year is sure to be our most diverse season of specialty blooms yet! Take home specialty cut flower bouquets grown according to organic protocol and hand-arranged each week. We guarantee that you won’t see many of these blooms at your local stores. This year we will be growing ranunculus, anemones, lisianthus, herbaceous peonies, foxglove, cosmos, 50+ varieties of dahlias and more! We are able to keep providing these beautiful blooms thanks to those who support the farm through CSA shares. To thank you for more than three successful Flower CSA seasons, we are offering a ***Full Season 22-week Share*** for the first time. Reserve your share today and enjoy the beauty and bounty of our flower season after what is sure to be a long winter. More information HERE.
The Biblical “Etrog” travels to Maine
One of our most exciting ventures to kick off 2024 is working to fund a greenhouse with off-grid capabilities that will be home to 30 future etrog trees. We started planning for this project back in Summer 2022 when we harvested seeds from Kosher etrogs to begin growing our own Etrog seedlings. We are now at the stage of building a permanent nursery for these etrog seedlings to grow successfully in the ground. To learn more about this project, its community significance, and how you can help you can read HERE . If you are local, please consider donating HERE (GoFundMe), otherwise we are launching a Kickstarter HERE to garner broader support for this project. Please consider sharing with your family, friends, and communities!
Introducing the Goronson Farm
“Gnome Shop”
This shop is inspired and curated by our resident gnome who lives in a cottage behind the labyrinth at the farm. The gnome has been hard at work creating a variety of goodies for his specialty market including hand-ground peppermint, lemon balm, and bee balm teas, dried herb bundles, sage & herb smudge sticks, apple cider vinegar, & MORE!
The Gnome Shop will also have hand-selected whimsical vintage and antique items such as tiaras, flower crowns, jewelry, and foraging baskets.

I am Maureen Goronson, an organic farmer by trade and specialty fruit and flower lover at heart. I started Goronson Farm in 2014, focusing on heirloom ducks and chickens and internationally sought after fruit trees. In recent years, our focus has expanded to include flowers of all different shapes, sizes, colors, and varieties.
I started my dahlia growing journey in 2020 and am a member of the American Dahlia Society. Having enjoyed the beauty and diversity of our dahlia gardens, I am now looking to share the tubers we have cultivated at Goronson Farm with other dahlia lovers. In the coming year, we will be growing 75 Dahlia varieties, including designer breeder varieties, along with other rare fruits and flowers on our small certified organic farm.
We'd love to hear from you!
