August 18 | Twig End Farm
Combined Tour
What was once a vacant city lot is now home to a thriving urban flower farm in the heart of Flint, Michigan. Founded in 2018, Twig End Farm produces a diverse mix of seasonal specialty cut flowers that are sold through a flower subscription program, the Flint Farmers' Market, workshops, and direct sales to the local community. During this tour, Janie Case Beuthin will share how thoughtful planning, intensive production methods, and a strong connection to local markets have allowed her to grow a successful flower business in a remarkably small space. Participants will gain practical insights into urban flower farming, including strategies for maximizing production, selecting crops, and creating value through direct-to-consumer sales. The tour will include a behind-the-scenes look at the gardens, workspaces, and systems that support this creative and community-centered farm.
