Our Family Farm
Locally Grown, Specialty Cut Flowers
We are a family owned and operated flower farm nestled in the countryside of Stillwater, Minnesota. We have been designing and installing award winning gardens for our clients for over 20 years before we decided to explore the cut flower industry.
In 2017, I realized we could impact more lives by bringing fresh cut flowers into our local community and allowing the happiness to spread. We began planting our farm in the fall of 2018 and the rest is history!
​
As both of my sons, Ross and Shane, join the family business, it is fun to see how they will impact the future of SCC. What a blessing it is to have them join our team full-time to support their young families. The true definition of the family business.

"Sarah’s Cottage Creations is simply wonderful! As a florist, I love prioritizing locally grown flowers. I recently placed an order with SCC for a wedding and was blown away! The quality and color of the blooms were amazing, and the service provided by Alison and her husband Ross (who delivered the flowers to my house) was outstanding. Sarah Buerkley, the owner, is also lovely to work with. I highly recommend SCC!" -Brooke

-
Soil Health: We prioritize soil health through crop rotation, cover cropping, and the use of compost. By nourishing our soil, we enhance its fertility and resilience, ensuring our ability to produce quality flowers consistently year after year.
-
Sustainable Packaging: We strive to reduce waste by using eco-friendly packaging materials for our floral arrangements and products. Whenever possible, we choose biodegradable or recyclable options to ensure we minimize our impact on the environment.​
