Triple Wren Farms
Steve and Sarah Pabody
Sarah Pabody founded Triple Wren Farms in 2012. She owns and operates the first generation family farm together with her husband Steve, where they share beauty by growing and selling amazing cut flowers and dahlia tubers, building gorgeous weddings, and mentoring new flower farmers. Sarah works closely with our field crew manager to handle harvesting, grocery bouquet production, field maintenance, and dahlia tuber shipping, and is the lead designer for our wedding crew. She can be caught inspecting the bark on the trees, and is thankful for a visionary partner.
Steve Pabody has been farming with his wife Sarah since 2012, bringing his strong background skills of marketing and PR to Triple Wren Farms’ mission of #sharingbeauty. The family farm business is an all-hands-on-deck endeavor, but Steve specializes in sales, logistics, and maintenance. He is the visionary of Triple Wren's future, readily seeing the forest, never getting lost in the trees.
