PICK YOUR OWN FLOWERS AT THE FARM!

Rooted Farmstead is our private residence and NOT open to the public except for advertised events

  1. Purchase your ticket  in advance: Each person must purchase an individual ticket (sorry, no sharing)  This is required in order for us to track attendance and ensure social distancing.
  2. Plan Ahead: Guests are expected to bring their own:
    1. Face mask
    2. Garden shears/scissors
    3. Appropriate shoes and clothing - Remember, this is a working farm!
    4. Sunscreen and bugspray
    5. Drinking water
  3. Find your way here!  We are located at 457 Ridge Farm Road, Bellefonte, PA 16823.  Please be aware our driveway is a 2-mile long gravel road shared with our neighboring farmers.  Drive with extreme caution.  Once you arrive, follow signs to the grass parking area
  4. Grab your bucket and start snipping! Admission includes a keepsake bucket to collect your blooms in. These hold a surprising amount of flowers, about 3 bouquets worth! You-Pick Patches will be clearly marked.  We will also have pre-cut flowers and foliage to add to your haul, if desired.  See tips below.
  5. Take your time admiring and snapping photos.  Share on social media by tagging @rootedfarmstead and using the #rootedfarmstead hashtag
FLOWER CUTTING AND CARE TIPS
  • Cut stems long (don't worry, you won't hurt the plant!)  A rule of thumb is the length from your elbow to your hand
  • Snip off all of the leaves that will be below the waterline.  Leaves will decompose in the water and reduce the life of your blooms
  • Place the vase out of direct sunlight
  • Refresh your vase with cool, fresh water daily and snip the stems slightly every 2-3 days
