​About the Farm

Catalpa Flower Farm was conceived in 2018. The seed of an idea was planted while owner, Lindsey, was taking a walk in her neighborhood, pausing to stare at an abandoned greenhouse shaded by a giant catalpa tree. A few short years and one tiny global pandemic later and Lindsey officially purchased the farm in Homer in the fall of 2022.

The property has a history all of it's own. If you're over the age of 45 and a long time resident of Homer then you may know the property as the old "Smith's Garden Nursery". Before the Home Depots and Lowes of the world came to be, small business owner's like the Smith's were a treasure trove of botanical information and the go to source for bedding and landscape plants. There are quirky little constructs relics all over the property from the quaint nursery business. 

After the Smith's retired, they eventually sold their property to Allan Gandelman of Main Street Farms. Allan and his business partner Bobcat, re-invented the space adding two more greenhouse structures to the property including one equipped with solar panels for aquaponic production.
