Summer Cut Flower Bloom Bouquet CSA

I'm going on vacation, can I make up the share another week?

We are so sorry, but this is not an option at this time. The planting and harvest season is planned out in advance and we are a very small team. We recommend planning in advance to offer your share to a neighbor or friend on a week when you will be away. It is your responsibility to ensure they have the correct pickup/delivery information. 

I can't make it to my scheduled pick-up. Can I come another day?

If you have chosen the farm shop as your pick-up location, we are able to hold your CSA bouquet for one additional day. Please contact us in advance of your intention to pick up at the farm shop on Saturday from 9-11am ONLY. If we do not hear from you, we will not be able to hold your bouquet. All uncollected product is disposed of at the end of the business day if not picked up if no prior arrangements have been made 48 hrs in advance.

 

I need some extra flowers, is this possible?

Yes! We can always add on to your CSA order. Contact us by email 48 hours prior to the morning of your CSA pickup day (Friday) and we can make plans to have extra flowers for you. We will not be able to provide additional flowers without 48hr notice. All unaccounted for stems are sold.

You can also place a special order for a different day for pickup at the farm or delivery (within 15 miles of Leavenworth city limits for an additional delivery fee of $10). Shop online or contact us at sales@birdsongblooms.com to place your special order.

What does being a CSA member mean?

What does being a CSA member mean?We're all in this together! As a CSA member at Birdsong Blooms, you agree to support the farm's mission to provide local, sustainably grown flowers for the community by investing in our organic operation in the months when cash flow is the leanest. You offer your support of our farm and your commitment to share in the floral bounty by purchasing a season share. 

All of our flower CSA shares include the very best of the season's blooms. The arrangment is designed by our skilled floral designer and we are not able to take requests for specific varieties. 

Allergy - If you or the gift recipient requires that a certain varitey of flower is withheld due to an allergy or pet toxicity concern, this information must be provided during placement of the order and before the first delivery of your share. If this is a gift, as the giver you are fully responsible to acquiring this information and providing to us before delivery. The recipient is welcome to contact us at sales@birdsongblooms.com directly.

By making this purchase, you agree to not hold Birdsong Blooms or the parent company, liable for any outcome related to allergic reaction or toxicity in the recipient, child or pet.

* Due to the nature of open field commercial cut flower production, we are able to provide a crop preview of the varities that we intend to grow, but are unable to guarantee any crop. All varities, regardless of season are subject to weather, disease and other unforseen adverse conditions.

Birdsong Blooms does not sell flowers as edibles.

While some varities may be known to be safe for consumption, as a company we do not market or sell any flowers for consumption. The buyer and or recipient is fully responsible for their bouquet and any actions taken with all materials, plant or otherwise, included immediately upon acceptance or delivery. We ask that our bouquets be enjoyed for their natural beauty on display only. Thank you!

The Bloom CSA share consists of one lovely, lush, hand-tied bouquet designed by Birdsong Blooms featuring our beautiful, heirloom flowers. Members can use the vase provided at the first pickup/delivery, snip the ends (1/2") off the flower stems, and place the bouquet in the vase for a beautiful addition to their home or office. A vase is provided at the first offering only. All subsequent weekly offerings will be wrapped, labeled and placed in a black floral bucket.

We will provide an appropriate vase or vessel for your FIRST BOUQUET ONLY. All remaining CSA bloom share bouquets will be offered wrapped for protection, labeled and placed in clean water buckets. We ask that you reuse your vases weekly and ensure that the vase has been washed with soap and is in clean condition with fresh cool water prior to placing the new bouquet inside. Bacteria is the #1 cause of decreased vase life and we want you to be able to enjoy your blooms for as long as possible.

Pickup at farm shop (Friday, 10-3pm):

First bouquet will be available with a vase. All remaining bouquets will be placed, labeled, into black floral buckets for you to pickup from. Be sure to only take your labeled bouquet as some customers may have medical exemptions! You are able to take your bouquet at pickup without a member of our staff present as long as you are taking your labeled bouquet. We ask that you do not take the buckets with you.

Delivery (15 miles of Leavenworth only):

First bouquet will be delivered with a vase. If possible, we ask that you place your clean vase out weekly, and we will place your bouquet inside. If not possible, we will leave your bouquet in one of our black floral buckets with enough water for the day. We will do our best to leave in an area that is protected by your front door unless told where to leave by the customer. It is important for the customer to place their vase or the black floral bucket WITH WATER out for your weekly delivery. There may be an occasion when we do not have any buckets or water in the delivery van and will not be able to make any extra accommodations due to our delivery schedule.
