Overview
Almanac Flower Co. is a community-minded micro flower farm based in London, Ontario, run by farmer-florist Amy St. John. I am looking to expand for the 2024 season, but am limited by my current space. Hoping to connect with a farmer willing to lease between 1/4 to 2 acres for ecological cut flower production within 40 minutes of London, ON. I would establish one or two tunnels or hoop houses (nothing permanent). Access to water for irrigation necessary. I completed the Ignatius Farm New Farmers Training Program in 2021 and am a current EFOA member. I focus on ecological growing practices and celebrating the beauty and magic in locally grown flowers.
