Tables Set-Up for The Iconic In-Person SnoCo Flower Collective Market in 2023. We will miss it this season!

Hey Flower Friends,

Let’s talk about what’s different this season with SnoCo FloCo!

First up…We’re not hosting our weekly in-person flower market this year. We thank Alicia with Fleurs Creative Studio for being such a gracious host of the last two seasons and we hope that someday our weekly market can make a comeback. Please be sure to checkout Alicia’s incredible line-up of Floral Design courses this season to play with incredible local Flora and learn all the tips and tricks of floral design like a pro.
As much as we love being there in person with you each week, the reality is: we just don’t have the people-power to make it happen. We're a collective of small flower farms, and every single one of us is juggling full plates—growing, harvesting, parenting, working other jobs, and more. Running a weekly market takes a dedicated team, and this year, we had to be honest about our bandwidth. Instead of burning out, we’re adjusting.

But don't worry—you can still get your hands on fresh, local blooms. Every Sunday, we’re sending out a Weekly Fresh Sheet, which shows what’s blooming across our member farms. “A Weekly Flower Forecast” for your direct community. You can browse the list and connect directly with growers to order what you need—whether you’re a designer, florist, or someone who just loves local flowers.

Now about the pricing question, because we’ve heard that too:

You may notice the Fresh Sheet doesn’t list prices. That’s intentional.

Here’s why:
Updating and managing price lists across multiple farms each week takes a lot of behind-the-scenes coordination—more than we currently have the capacity to handle. Instead, we use a wholesale pricing guideline internally, but each grower ultimately sets their own pricing based on crop availability, seasonality, and what’s flourishing (or struggling) that week. Some growers may offer special rates on surplus blooms, and others may adjust prices slightly depending on volume or variety seasonality.

So what should you do?
Reach out to the growers listed on the Fresh Sheet directly. They’ll be happy to provide you with pricing based on what you’re looking for and whether you have a reseller permit (wholesale vs. retail pricing may apply). You may still apply to keep your resellers permit within the collective for wholesale rates with our growers.

We know this adds a little extra step, but it allows our growers to be flexible, fair, and responsive—something that’s just not possible with a static price list. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support of our little-but-mighty flower collective. We’re still here, still blooming, and still committed to making local flowers accessible—just with a few seasonal adjustments.
