Sweet Alyssum Farm is owned and operated by Alyssa O'Cotter, growing cut flowers and hops. The fields are planted with over 100 varieties of flowers, both annuals and perennials. as well as four varieties of hops that tower on 18-foot trellises. The farm sells through multiple channels including wholesale, farmers markets, CSA, a farmstand and you-pick, and direct retail orders. Farming practices incorporate low tillage, preventative IPM with beneficial insects, crop rotation, cover cropping and regular foliar feeding. Early June we'll see the transition from spring to summer crops and climbing hop vines.
