Our Roots

Where agriculture and ecology grow together

Run-a-Muck Farms is a working permaculture homestead on South-Central Pennsylvania land the family has stewarded.

We grow cut flowers, raise pastured poultry, cultivate fiber hemp, and are planting the first trees of a long-term food forest. Everything here is designed to get better with time.

What We Grow

Growing in 2026

Why Field-Grown

Local stems outlast the grocery store

Roughly 80% of cut flowers sold in the United States are imported and travel thousands of miles before they reach a vase. Ours are cut that morning, a few steps from the farm stand.

24 hrs

Field to vase

Every stem is cut the morning of pickup or delivery. Imported grocery-store flowers are typically 7–14 days old before they hit the cooler.

~80%

Of US cut flowers are imported

Most travel 1,500+ miles from Colombia or Ecuador. Ours travel from the row behind our farm stand on Big Mount Road.

2–3×

Longer vase life

No shipping chemicals, no cold-chain stress. Field-fresh local stems hold for 7–14 days versus 3–5 for big-box bouquets.

30 mi

Same-day delivery radius

Wholesale to florists, weekly subscriptions, and event flowers within ~30 miles of Dover — harvested and on your table the same day.
