Our Story

Sunkist Acres began with a love of growing things. Long before there was a flower farm, there was a garden. Ashley grew up in upstate New York surrounded by vegetables, soil, and the quiet satisfaction that comes from tending something from seed to harvest. That love followed her into adulthood and eventually onto ten open acres in Oxford, Michigan.

Today, Ashley spends her seasons planting peonies for spring, dahlias for late summer, and a wide variety of specialty blooms in between. She pays close attention to every stage, from preparing the soil to harvesting at the exact right moment. Flowers are cut at their peak, tubers are carefully inspected before shipping, and event blooms are often grown with specific visions in mind. It is thoughtful work, and it is done with care.

Whether you are planting dahlias in your own garden, receiving a subscription bouquet, or celebrating with flowers grown just for you, Ashley hopes you feel the intention behind each stem.

Fact No. One

Flowers grown close to home simply last longer.

Cut fresh from our fields, they skip long shipping routes and arrive to you at their peak, making their beauty last

Fact No. Two

Flowers grown in season just look different.

They feel fuller, more vibrant, and more alive because they were grown exactly when and where they were meant to bloom.

When Ashley and her husband purchased their property, it was largely a blank slate with rich soil from its years as a horse farm. Over time, vegetables turned into flower beds, and flower beds slowly expanded into fields. What started as growing simply because it brought joy has grown into Sunkist Acres.

Sunkist Acres is truly family run. Ashley’s husband helps plant, build, and haul, and their two young children are often in the fields, growing up alongside the flowers. Parents and siblings step in during busy seasons. The farm is not just a business. It is part of everyday life.

Built on patience, passion, and a deep appreciation for the seasons, Sunkist Acres continues to grow year after year, rooted in care for the land and the blooms it produces.
