There’s something different about seeing the flowers where they grow.

Our guided dahlia field tours invite you to slow down, walk the rows, and experience the field up close. This is a seasonal flower farm tour designed to be relaxed, personal, and rooted in the rhythm of the growing season.

The dahlia field is located at Bird Dog Farm + Cider, where flowers and cider share the same ground and season.

What the Tour Includes

Each dahlia field tour lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours and includes:

  • A guided walk through the dahlia field

  • Time to ask questions about growing, varieties, and care

  • The opportunity to pick-your-own flowers

  • Space to wander, photograph, and enjoy the field

This is an intentionally small, conversational experience — more gathering than formal tour.

Pricing

$15 per person

You can choose the Fox Cottage Cup for the Pick-Your-Own flower experience, or upgrade to the true dahlia lover's larger bucket option.

The field is open during regular farm hours for wandering and enjoying the U-Pick section blooms at your own pace.

guided tour, however, is a more personal, conversational experience with Shannon — where you can ask questions, learn about dahlia varieties, growing techniques, and hear the stories behind the field itself.

Think of it less like a formal class and more like walking the rows together with a grower’s perspective.

What to Expect

This is a working dahlia field shaped by weather, timing, and the season itself. Every visit is a little different — and that’s part of the experience.

Come curious. Leave with flowers.
And a deeper appreciation for how they’re grown.
