Abundance

and peace

Passionate about flowers. Obsessed with dahlias.

Choosing Calm is a micro flower-farm focused on growing distinctive and breathtaking dahlias in all colors of the rainbow on Chicago's North Shore.

We are offering:

limited CSA (best of field and dahlia only options)
dahlia DIY buckets for weddings or parties
dahlia sales directly to florists and floral designers
sales at the Winnetka Farmer's Market on Saturdays in the early fall depending on availability

Our blooming season is weather dependent but typically runs from mid August to early October.

"We all need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature."

Henry David Thoreau
