Queenz Cut Flower Farm is located in Troy, New York and is owned and operated by me, Shanice Fleming. This is my second year running a hyperlocal flower CSA serving the greater Troy and Albany area, with a focus on making weekly flower bouquets available to all members of my community. I grow on a quarter acre of land and design weekly bouquets highlighting what I have in season mixed with foraged wildflowers and medicinal herbs, looking to shift people’s opinions on what is acceptable as a cut flower. I will use my grant money to build out real infrastructure for my business, including investing in transportation and irrigation and making this dream of mine start to feel real.
