About Cross Street Flower Farm

Our flower fields at the historic Jacobs Farm explode with color from early spring through late fall. Our farm tells the story of the seasons through flowers, beginning with tulips and daffodils in April, ranunculus and poppies in May, and sweet peas and peonies in June. Our fields reach their peak with zinnias, sunflowers, and many other beautiful varieties throughout the summer, ending with our magnificent dahlias in the fall.

We grow over 50 varieties of specialty cut flowers using sustainable and natural methods. We have over 700 flower share members and six pickup locations around the South Shore . We host workshops and Cut-Your-Own Bouquet events on the farm and operate a seasonal flower shop in our historic barn.

Our online shop features flower shares, weekly flower specials, seedlings, bulbs, tools, supplies, and gifts.
