You Pick Experience - Sunday, September 7th

Where beauty is gathered, one stem at a time.

The fields are open, and the flowers are ready to be gathered. Despite a season shaped by prairie weather: heavy rains, wild grass weeds, and strong winds... the garden still carries its own kind of beauty, kind of. It may look a little different this year, but the joy of walking the rows with shears in hand remains just as magical.

Join us for a guided You-Pick experience at Ophelia Farm Co., where you’ll learn a little about each bloom, discover how to snip and care for stems, and create a bucket filled with flowers that speak to you. Whether you’re a flower enthusiast or simply craving a unique outing, this is a slow and grounding way to spend time in nature.

Optional Picnic Add-On : Elevate the experience with a seasonal picnic, complete with a charcuterie cup and beverage (canned pop/cocktail/wine) for each guest. Groups of 4 or more will receive a shared board. Perfect for birthdays, bridal showers, or long-overdue friend gatherings. (Add both ‘You pick’ AND ‘Add on’ to your cart)

Blooming this week: Sunflowers (all varieties), Zinnias (all varieties), Cosmos (all varieties), Pincushion/Scabiosa (all varieties), Orach (2 colours), Amaranth (all varieties), Queen Annes Lace (Queen of Africa, Chocolate Lace, Green mist (minimal), Ornamental Basil (all varieties), Orlaya (minimal), Statice, Yarrow (minimal), TBD

What to Expect:

• Wander the rows with shears in hand, guided by our team

• Learn proper stem cutting, cleaning, caring and arranging tips

• Fill a bucket with blooms you’ve handpicked yourself, and be guided to arrange them in a take home mason jar

Important Notes:

• Our garden is set on prairie terrain and is, sadly, not handicap accessible at this time  (especially challenging this year).

• This is a working flower and grain farm. Expect bees, mosquitoes, uneven ground, and sun exposure. Please bring sturdy footwear, bug repellant, water, and sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, etc), and/or a layer incase a chill breeze. 

• While we love animals, pets must remain at home for the comfort and safety of all guests. Service dogs are welcome, please contact us ahead of time for accommodations.

• In case of rain, you may either attend and receive a pre-picked bucket or reschedule for another day. Severe weather will result in cancellation and a full refund.

• Spots are limited and must be reserved in advance. Our farm is also our family home; directions are provided after booking. Located just 10 minutes outside Eston, SK on a gravel road.
