Visiting Pets

While we love pets – we do have 1 dog, 5 cats, and 50 chickens….our “only” dog takes his guard dog job very seriously. He loves human visitors and enjoys snuggling with cats, but we don’t want him to have a funny reaction to another dog. Additionally, our semi-free range chickens are quite a draw to any dog visitors we have. We want to keep as many hens as possible for egg production.

Supplies for U-pick Evenings

We have field snips and buckets for you to borrow. But, for a ​more enjoyable experience, you want to bring:

a car container for your bouquet

field friendly shoes

We will happily add water to your buckets to keep bouquets ​from getting thirsty on the way home. Additionally, our fields ​are just that: fields. Flower lanes have mowed grass lanes ​between them. It’s Indiana, weather and field conditions are ​unpredictable.

Children

We love children -- we have two! While the farm is a fun place, we want children to remain safe and not lost. Children MUST remain with parents at all times.

Property Lines

In order to be respectful to our neighbors, we ask that guests do not cross fence or property lines. Should you want to meander into nature, we will clearly delineate the edge of our farm for you.

Perky Flowers

It is recommended that you submerge the ends of your flowers in water in your buckets as you roam the fields. Once back to the farmstand to pay, we’ll wrap your flowers and then they should remain in water for the remainder of their shelf life. Most bouquets will last fully or partially for just about a week. Change out water every 2 days, and remove spent blooms as they fade.

Do we sell bulk buckets of flowers?

Yes. This must be pre-arranged 3 weeks in advance. Currently we have FOUR U-pick nights scheduled (JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP). We need to preserve field quantities to support these evenings and the expectations of our guests. Bulk flower orders will be charged a per stem fee. Please contact us directly: davestreefarm@yahoo.com

Hiring?

As we are a brand-new business, we are unable to hire extra help this year. As our business grows and we see how profitable we are, we will reconsider for Season 2025.

Special Order Bouquets?

Most definitely. For the best selection, please email us 2 weeks in advance to check current harvest selection and availability. davestreefarm@yahoo.com

Volunteers

As noted in hiring, we are a brand-new business. We would welcome local teens who are interested in truly learning floral (or Christmas tree) production. While we cannot pay a wage, we are happy to sponsor any FFA enrolled member

(HHHS – only, no exceptions) with a chapter donation or documented community service hours after hours are donated.

Farmstand

Due to seasonal availability, produce will

change from week to week.

Current prices and products will be posted

Wednesdays here, on Instagram, and Facebook.

For sale items may include: tomatoes, rhubarb,

greens (chard, spinach), okra, garlic, onions, cukes, summer & ​winter squashes/pumpkins, radishes, carrots, lettuce,

fresh herbs, beans, peas, ground cherries, elderberries,

eggs ( contained free range / organic )

All produce is grown without chemical intervention. While we ​are not certified organic, we use: sunlight, fresh air, our own soil, ​beneficial insects to control pests, and our homegrown chicken ​manure to amend the beds.

Our chickens are fed locally-milled organic grain along with ​seasonal greens and insects.

Come eat with us!

Farm Tours

We would love to arrange a farm tour. We have worked hard to tuck flowers, foliage, fronds, & food into almost every corner of our farm. Our farm has transformed from a sick (with extra weed killer before our time), barren, empty property to overflowing!

Come visit our herb beds, pollinator bed, cottage bed, woodland garden, chicken enclosures, vine tunnels, native shrub beds, hay meadow, prairie, wildflower patch, woods, creek, wetlands, Christmas tree fields, or raised vegetable garden.

Educating the next generation of growers is immensely important to us. We would love to share what we have learned since we jumped into the world of farming and entrepreneurship.

Come learn with us!
