Cypress Flower Farm was started in 1988 by Randy Dardenelle, who had no previous farming experience. Since its inception, the farm has grown over 150 varieties of floers. All flowers are field-grown and nurtured without synthetic chemicals. To ensure quality and freshness, the flowers are grown year-round, planted directly in the fields, and are harvested the day before they go to market. In the last ten years Randy has doubled the size of his frog pond to encourage local flora and fauna.
