Harmony Harvest Farm
Jessica Hall and Stephanie Duncan
Technically, Harmony Harvest Farm is a 20-acre cut flower farm located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia that ships mixed bouquets and bulk flowers nationwide and offers a local agritourism experience. To us however, the farm is so much more than that. It's a way to build connections between people, strengthen our community, and rediscover the wonder of Mother Nature. Harmony Harvest Farm's story is woven with the idea that all people can find joy together - and this story is punctuated by flowers.
A Certified American Grown farm, Harmony Harvest Farm grows nearly 400 varieties across 100 different types of flowers including anemone, ranunculus, peonies, hydrangea, dahlias, and heirloom mums. The farm’s calling card crop is the heirloom mums, where their expertise has led to the farm’s position as a national trial farm for new varieties being brought to market by international breeders. Known for their collection of heirloom mum varieties, Harmony Harvest Farm is the go-to source for cut heirloom mums and bare root plants and plans to expand their heirloom mum plant offerings in 2023.
The farm is owned and operated by sisters Jessica Hall and Stephanie Duncan, and their mom, Chris Auville, or as they like to call her, The Lady Monarch.
Show Notes
Mums have an incredible vase life and bloom at the perfect time for season extension at the end of the dahlia season.
Many of the Heirloom Garden Mums are tender perennials and make a great addition to your perennial collection. Since most of them are royalty free, you may want to annually propagate them to give yourself more plants and maintain your collections vitality.
Don’t forget that there are early, midseason, and late blooming varieties.
Mums are day length sensitive, so when planning your schedule remember June 15th is an important date for planning because of day length changes.
Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good.
