Broadfork Farm grows and supplies DIY wedding flowers in Nova Scotia from its farm in River Hebert. Shannon and Bryan offer bulk buckets of seasonal flowers, foliage, grasses and other field-grown material for couples who plan to create their own bouquets and décor.

This is a flower-farm service rather than full-service floral design. The growers choose stems from what is performing well around the wedding date, and the couple or their helpers handle the arranging. Two bucket options provide either broad flexibility or a selected colour palette and style.

Services and specialization

Broadfork Farm supplies bulk buckets for DIY wedding arranging. Its wedding page says the farm grows a mixture of flowers, foliage, grasses, seed pods and other seasonal material. The offering is intended for couples, relatives or wedding-party members who will make the finished bouquets and venue arrangements themselves.

The farm describes its flowers as especially suited to a garden-fresh, wildflower-style look. Its separate cut-flower page lists more than 200 varieties across the farm, including zinnias, lisianthus, sunflowers, tulips, daffodils, snapdragons, cosmos, delphinium, eucalyptus and other greenery. That list illustrates what the farm grows; it is not a promise that any named variety will be available for a particular wedding.

How the bulk-bucket program works

Couples first estimate how many buckets they need, ask whether their date is available and secure the order with the required retainer. Broadfork Farm says most orders are around five or six buckets, although the right quantity depends on the planned pieces, vase dimensions and arranging style.

The farm estimates that one bucket may fill five to seven mason jars. It also suggests allowing most of a bucket for a bridal bouquet, three or four bridesmaid bouquets per bucket, and less than one bucket for the wedding party’s boutonnieres and corsages. These are the farm’s planning examples rather than guaranteed yields for every design.

Service area and who it may suit

Weekday pickup from Tuesday through Friday is available at the River Hebert farm. Saturday pickup is listed at the Dieppe Market in Dieppe, New Brunswick, between 7 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The farm describes its location as approximately 25 minutes from Amherst, 35 minutes from Sackville and one hour from Dieppe, Moncton and Riverview.

This format may suit couples who want locally grown, seasonal material and have enough time, workspace, containers and help to arrange it before the ceremony. The official wedding page welcomes orders for different kinds of ceremonies. Couples seeking completed bouquets, installations, delivery or on-site setup should confirm whether they need a separate florist, because Broadfork Farm expressly identifies itself as the grower rather than the arranger.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the choice between a flexible Grower’s Choice bucket and a Custom Colours bucket tailored to a palette and style. The farm also states that it does not spray its flowers with pesticides or fumigants. Its cut-flower page carefully explains that, although the flowers are grown using the farm’s ecological practices, Canadian rules do not let the farm label them as organic flowers.

The main practical limitation is seasonality. Broadfork Farm does not accept requests for specific flower varieties, and weather can change what blooms from one year or week to the next. The official page lists pickup arrangements but does not publish a wedding-flower delivery service. It also notes that the farm has no public farm stand and that visits must be scheduled. Online replies can take a few days because internet access at the farm is limited.

Pricing

The official wedding page currently lists Grower’s Choice buckets at $100 each plus tax and Custom Colours buckets at $150 each plus tax. Each bucket contains approximately 60–80 stems, depending on the material. Broadfork Farm requires a non-refundable 50% retainer by e-transfer to reserve an available date.

The page does not publish a complete wedding total because the cost depends on bucket quantity and option. It says an average order is about five or six buckets. Couples should request a written total that confirms taxes, bucket count, pickup details and the farm’s current terms before paying.

Contact and booking

Booking begins by asking Broadfork Farm whether the wedding date is available. The official contact page lists broadforkfarm@gmail.com and (902) 251-2686. The farm says telephone is the faster option when a prompt response is important, while email replies may take a day or two—or a few days during field work.

The farm address is not a walk-in shop. Couples collecting from River Hebert should schedule their visit, while Saturday Dieppe Market collection should be coordinated with the farm as part of the order.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm that the date falls within Broadfork Farm’s bulk-bucket season and that enough buckets remain available for that week. Ask which pickup location applies, the collection window, how the stems will be packed and whether containers must be supplied or returned.

Discuss the desired palette in practical terms, particularly for the Custom Colours option, while allowing for seasonal substitutions. Couples should also confirm the current prices, tax, retainer conditions and final payment deadline. Because the growers do not arrange the flowers, decide who will condition and design the stems, when that work will happen and how completed pieces will be stored and transported safely.
