2024 Markets run from April 10, 2024 through mid December
HOW IT WORKS
Connecticut Flower collective is a weekly membership-based fresh cut flower market bringing locally grown specialty cuts to one central location. Each week, (late April-Dec) farmer members from across the state and region collectively produce an availability list that is shared through our online marketplace partner Rooted Farmers on Thursdays preceding the market. Preorders are accepted Thursday-Sunday. For those who prefer to shop in person, or wish to augment their preorder, we display an extensive selection of cuts on our Market floor, held on Wednesdays from 8-12pm, Thursday 8-10am, and Friday 8-12pm. You may purchase from multiple farms, all in one order. Preorders and membership are for wholesale clients only.

WE’RE ROOTING FOR LOCAL!
We are a group of flower farmers across the state working together to promote the use of more local product in every event. Locally grown cut flowers are long lasting, fragrant, undamaged in transport, and supportive of a small scale farm economy.
We serve the professional floral industry with the freshest and most inspiring product.
CTFC began in 2019 when a group of flower farmers and floral designers created a market where designers could shop from multiple farms all in one location. What started as a small venture has grown into a robust weekly offering from over 20 farms throughout the region, and offering an inspiring and ever-expanding selection. Our farmers are the roots of CTFC, and our wonderful staff keeps everything running smoothly.
We hope you will join us!
