What do flower farmers do in the winter?
While the fields may be quiet under a blanket of snow, winter is still a busy and exciting time for us at Moondance! This season is when we step back, reflect on the year, and plan for the future.
Once the new year starts, we get back into farm mode for the upcoming season. We just finished our annual three day āSummit,ā where we set aside lots of time to brainstorm how we can expand our services, create more opportunities for you to enjoy the farm, and make the work we do even better at spreading joy with flowers.
Some of the things weāre focusing on:
š± Planning new offerings to make visiting the farm even more special.
š Curating flower varieties for next season to bring fresh beauty to your homes and events. (Hint: new varieties are coming, + LOTS more Ranunculus)
š Exploring ways to grow sustainably (and grow our flowers even more sustainably!) & give back to the Traverse City community.
Weāre so grateful to have you as part of our journey, and we canāt wait to share everything thatās blooming in our plans for 2025!

Now available at the farm: Floral Pumpkins & Spooky Skull Arrangements!
One-of-a-kind floral pumpkins are decorated with dried flowers and foliage from Moondance - ranging from dahlias & roses to hydrangea & hops!
So many fun choices now available at the U-Pick shed! All pumpkins grown on the farm or sourced from other farms right here on Old Mission Peninsula.
Plus Spooky Skull Arrangements available in our cooler! All of these make amazing fall decor (the pumpkins will last you well past Thanksgiving!) & the most lovely + unique gifts.
We picked our first two pumpkins from our very own pumpkin patch this weekend! So naturally, we had to decorate them with flowers! Farmer Levi & Farmer Lindsay both wanted to make their own creations with flowers we grew from seed and pressed dry. We just adore the endless possibilities with these botanical pumpkins, good for all ages! š Want to join us for this yearās workshop? Itās happening September 27! Tickets are on sale now! We sold out super fast last year, & we donāt want you to miss out on this special Moondance Magic! https://moondanceflowerfarm.com/moondancestore/p/floral-pumpkin-workshop-2024
š¤Howād we spend our anniversary this weekend? Helping other peopleās wedding dreams come true! š¤We had so much fun designing and bringing the beautiful vision of two couplesā wedding dreams to life. The more love we can be a part of everyday, but especially our favorite day, the better! We feel so lucky to share in these moments and bring our one-of-kind Moondance Magic to other peoplesā wedding days. š¤And of course, one of our favorite parts is reliving our favorite day together. Talking about all of our own wedding memories and celebrating all the amazing things weāve been able to do in our marriage over the last 11 years while we work on our wedding floral design for others is the best! š¤Working with each other is literally our dream come true, even - no especially- on our anniversary!
š¹Todayās Friday Flower Feature is utterly swoon-worthy: Roses! š¹ To be honest, when we found out how many rose bushes there were on the farm when we bought it, we werenāt super excited. Anyone else associate roses with being kinda cheesy and just well, basic? š¹We did too, until we met OUR roses. We tried our best to capture the stunning beauty and variety we have at Moondance Flower Farm in this video, but you really do have to come and witness it for yourself. Especially since their smell is other worldly! š¹š¹Roses do take extra work, both with their seasonal upkeep and their thorny harvesting. But after just one season we are convinced they are 1000000% worth it! š¹You can find our roses in our seasonal bouquet subscriptions, wedding & event florals, AND even our dried flower art and workshops! Weād love to have you by the farm when theyāre in bloom this June to U-Pick and smell for yourself. š¹Do us a favor and tag or share this with someone who would love to see these beauties too!
