HIDDEN IN THYME

Florals & Farm

-Ellen Everett

We are a small-scale flower farm located in Orono, Maine that takes pride in sustainably growing a wide variety of unique blooms that reflect the current season. Tulips and daffodils greet us in the Spring once the snow finally melts, and we finish out the Fall season with our personal favorite - dahlias. It is our mission to improve the land we live on, to give back to nature, and to make the world a better, more beautiful place.

In addition to flower farming, we practice beekeeping (which is one of the many reasons we always, always, ALWAYS use organic practices). We raise chickens for farm fresh eggs and dabble in herbalism using healing herbs that are grown right here on our farm. We are extremely passionate about slow living and soaking up the beauty in every moment. It is a dream come true to be able to share some of the magic we create with all of you.

Hi there -

and welcome to Hidden In Thyme - Florals & Farm

We grow a wide variety of vibrant annuals, lush perennials, and gorgeous flowering shrubs and fruit trees. Dahlias are a HUGE love of ours (an obsession, really), and we are so excited to offer our tubers and cuttings to you in the future.

You can find us throughout the Summer & Fall months at the both the Hampden Farmer’s Market (Friday’s 2pm-5:30pm) and Orono Farmer’s Market (Saturday’s from 8am- 12pm in the steam plant parking lot across from the University of Maine). In addition to selling our blooms at the local farmers market, we also take custom flower orders, sell wholesale to local florists, offer bulk buckets, and would be thrilled to design custom arrangements for your own private event.

Thank you so much for being here.

our first year with our farm — Hidden In Thyme came into my life when I needed it more than I realized, and has blossomed into something more than I could have ever imagined. But no matter how much love we pour into these fields, this wouldn’t be possible without our amazing customers. Your love & support of locally grown flowers, seeds & tubers is what keeps this dream alive. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy & safe holiday season… ✨💛 #thankful #gratitude #maineflowerfarm #flowerfarm #flowerfarminginmaine #organicfarming #dahliafarm #locallygrown #supportlocalfarmers #supportlocalagriculture

This dahlia very quickly made her way to the top of my all time favorite dahlia list — Roga ✨🌸 I just finished dividing the clumps and as long as storage goes well, I am happy to report that I will be offering her in my sale! This beauty deserves to be grown in as many gardens as possible. I haven’t decided on an official date for my tuber sale yet, but the main sale will definitely be in January and a restock sale will happen in March. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter on our website to get the updates 💛 Now…. back to dividing. I have around 700 clumps to go…. 🥲 #dahlia #dahliatubers #dahliatubersale #maineflowers #maineflowerfarm #flowerfarmer #flowerfarming #mainefarmers #organicgardening

IT’S BULB SEASON, BABYYYYY — 🌷🧄 ….. and the season for 10,000 other things, am I right?! 😅💀 I spent today harvesting as many dahlia & zinnia seeds as I could, planted a bunch of perennials at the farm & began the daunting task of planting tulips! (We have THOUSANDS of bulbs to plant over the next week or so before our dahlia dig begins) Our first frost is in the forecast for tonight and I’m ready! ✨🥲 also, it looks like I’m in desperate need for a new pair of Blundstones next season… I’ve official worn these suckers out 😂 #flowerfarm #maineflowerfarm #maineflowerfarmers #cutflowerfarm #womeninfarming #sustainableagriculture #organicgardening

Heirloom Mums — probably one of the most underrated flowers out there. I’m OBSESSED. ✨ 2. Annie girl 3. Chiffon 4. Homecoming 5. Jessica Louise 6. Mellow Moon 7. Royal Glamour 8. Lav Love 9. Peach John Wingfield Which one is your favorite? I have a few, but if I had to pick… it’s Annie Girl for sure. 🩷🌸 Send me all of your overwintering tips (zone 5 here 🙋🏽‍♀️) #cutflowerfarm #heirloommums #maineflowerfarm #maineflowerfarmers #mainefarming #flowerfarmer #zone5farming

I am honestly SPEECHLESS 🥲🥹😭 You guys showed UP today and we had our most successful market since starting this business. What a way to finish up our second year. Thank you doesn’t even cover it. We truly couldn’t do this without each and every customer of ours. The impact you make is huge 💛 I also want to say a huge thank you to all of the small businesses that teamed up with us this year for events or let us offer pops ups. ✨ My market sidekick, flower sleeve slayin’, personal photographer & best friend Brooke. She’d show up late at night to help me get it all done 💜 I also 100% could not have gotten through this season without our first employee and farm helper, Alivia. We had some seriously hot and sweaty work days this summer but she killed it and kept me sane when the dahlia field was absolutely lost in weeds 🫶🏼 and I can’t forget about my brother Jack.. he washed more dirty buckets for me than I could count and literally HUNDREDS of seed starting trays with no complaints. 🥰 Our hearts are so full & we are already dreaming up plans for next year 🩵 — Riley & Drew #flowerfarmer #cutflowerfarm #cutflowerfarming #maineflowerfarm #maineflowerfarmers #flowerfarming #mainefarmers #zone5gardening #organicgardening #sustainableagriculture #farmersmarket #womeninfarming

Mumford is here to tell you that tomorrow is our LAST MARKET OF THE SEASON! 🥲 I can’t believe fresh flower season has already come & gone. If you’ve been hoping to make it to the market and would like to take home some of our flowers (or honey 🍯🐝), tomorrow is your day!!! We have some BIG farm projects in our future and lots to get done before winter hits. The to do list feels never ending, but hopefully it will make for an even bigger and better year of flowers next year 💛🌸 Come & see us tomorrow morning at the Orono Farmers Market - we will be there from 8-12! Thank you all for your support this season. We couldn’t do any of this without YOU! 🫶🏼✨ #flowerfarmer #flowerfarm #cutflowerfarm #farmersmarket #maineflowerfarm #maineflowerfarmers #maineflowerfarming #firstgenerationfarmers #organicgardening 📸 - @brookeleephotos

“Autumn exists to remind us that things must end to begin again” The seasons are colliding and I can’t believe that in just two short weeks our 2024 market season will be coming to a close. This season has been HUGE for us in so many ways, and while there is always room for improvement and lessons being learned (often the hard way 😅), I’m so proud of our farm & everything we’ve already accomplished this year. I often have to remind myself that we are currently living in the middle of what at point felt like it would only ever be a dream 🥹❤️✨ Our final CSA bouquets are going out this week and we will be at the Orono Farmers Market this coming Saturday and next with fresh & dried flowers 💐 , eucalyptus bunches 🌿 and honey 🍯 . Be sure to stop in and say hello before we wrap it up for the year! Thank you all SO MUCH for being here & supporting us along the way 💛 📸 : @brookeleephotos #flowerfarmers #cutflowerfarm #cutflowerfarming #flowerfarm #maineflowerfarm #maineflowerfarmers #maineflowers #womeninfarming #organicfarming
