One of the things we are most proud of at the Collective is our amazing team of local growers!
Owner: Gabriella Gauger, Sean and Anna Kinney
Location: Hannibal, NY
Top crops: We love sunflowers, zinnias, statice, and celosia. And this year we can't wait to be offering lisianthus. We just ordered one thousand fresh plugs in 5 new varieties for the 2024 season!
A proud farm moment: The proudest moment we’ve had here on the farm was the wedding of Sean and Anna. Sean and Anna are 2 out of the 3 folks that make up Fay Flower Farm and they contribute the bulk of the physical labor that makes this farm run. In April of last year, after legally forming the farm, we got to work. Sean and Anna built out a beautiful ceremony space complete with various rings of sunflowers, a massive arbor and natural permanent bench seating. In addition to this space, they also built a large pinwheel of 10 floral beds.
On September 9th, 2023 we all got to witness Sean & Anna as they committed themselves to one another in the space they dreamt up and built. It was one of the most beautiful things we’d ever seen and everybody cried.
Something exciting happening in 2024: We’ve got another wedding planned! And a couple more in the works. We’re really just excited to keep growing the space and sharing it with folks for all of their special days and occasions.
Other services offered: In addition to growing flowers for this collective, we will also have a roadside stand up and running come spring. We have another small business that grows microgreens on the property so we’ll have both of those available in the stand. And as we mentioned before, the property is also a wedding/event venue and has a Bed & Breakfast which can accommodate up to 14 people currently, with more spaces to come this year.
