Welcome to our home on the web!

Floral and Hardy Farm is a specialty cut flower farm. We grow unique varieties of cut flowers and interesting botanical materials. Tim and I have been growers since 1996. Our crops usually begin to bloom in January with beautiful amaryllis and end around Halloween with sunflowers, grasses and grains. The majority of our flowers are sold at wholesale prices to florists. We also sell flowers and plants to the public at the ALL- LOCAL farmer's market in downtown Columbia, S.C.

We only sell what we produce. All of our high-quality fresh flowers are produced on the farm either in the field or in our coldframes. Our flowers and foliages are also produced without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Drip irrigation is used to conserve water. Our goal is to provide the freshest and highest quality flowers we can possibly produce. We constantly strive to find ways to make our flowers last longer and to educate our customers on how to keep their flowers as long as possible.

Our flowers are cut early in the morning and put immediately into water. Then they are taken to an air-conditioned studio and allowed to drink for several hours before they are processed and put in the cooler for delivery the next day.
We intentionally seek out hard-to-ship flowers that are not readily available to most florists and deliver them with care. You can expect new varieties of flowers to be added to our mix every year!
Tim and I love what we do, and we sincerely hope that you enjoy our flowers!

Why buy Floral & Hardy Farm Flowers?
Because they’re fresh!
You can't get fresher flowers anywhere! We are the only local grower of commercial cut flowers in the Midlands. AND- by purchasing Floral & Hardy Farm flowers you are supporting a local farm who puts money back into the local economy instead of foreign countries. It is said that for every $100 spent locally $68 goes back into the local economy. Comparitively, only $40 of every $100 spent in a big chain goes back into the local economy.
THE ALL- LOCAL FARMERS MARKET
is probably the best market in South Carolina. Held every Saturday at 711 Whaley Street, the market offers fresh products from REAL South Carolina farmers. No re-sales at this market! You can actually talk to the farmers who produce what you are purchasing, like the state farmers market USED to be. Market hours are from 8:00 to noon. New!!! Beginning August 24, 2011 the ALL-LOCAL farmers market will be open on Wednesday nights! Hours will be from 4:00 to 8:00 pm. Dinner will be served, so come on out to the market!!!
