Sunny Meadows Flower Farm was established in 2006 by Steve and Gretel Adams. We both found we had a deep passion for farming and a strong drive to make our business the best we can be. Being first generation farmers, finding mentors to learn from has become an important part of how we’ve built Sunny Meadows. Once we began growing, we immediately fell in love with spreading the joy of flowers. We started by selling straight bunches of flowers (mainly sunflowers and zinnias), until we started making bouquets, and that’s when the obsession with flower artistry really began. We realized we could create a botanical adventure by using what's seasonally in bloom, making our weekly bouquets ever-changing. We have multiple sales outlets, and focus as a business on both production and specialty crops.

Our passion drives our growth to supply more people with domestically-grown flowers, setting us apart from the industry’s global market of imports that it is today.
