A Little More About The Farm:

Sol Patch Garden is a small urban cut flower farm located in Pittsburgh and Braddock. We’re a small yet mighty flower farm. We grow using organic farming practices and produce on about ½- ¾ acres in the city. We’re a small scrappy team, but have over 10 years of farming experience. We absolutely love what we do. This work is fueled by passion and desire to bring the highest quality cut flowers to the greater Pittsburgh community. We like to have fun and learn and create together. We sell at the Bloomfield Farmers Market every Saturday in addition to having a Bouquet Subscription, selling wholesale to florists and doing occasional weddings. We grow over 100 different flower varieties on site, each of which has been specifically chosen based on florist and customer interest. Our goal is to always be learning and changing as we grow. This season the farm is undergoing a major transition, so we hope to find the right person that can be flexible during this transition period. The farm operates under the ethos of “flowers for the people”. We can’t wait to talk with you and share more about the farm!
