Easier & Smarter Shopping

Greater access to a statewide network of growers, resulting in fresher, higher quality products and reduced reliance on wholesale imports.

Ability to purchase from multiple farms at one point of sale via the Rooted Farmers online platform and/or shopping the in-person market in Brunswick, ME instead of having to manage multiple transactions, deliveries and pickups.

 

Sustainability

Limit material waste and save time processing flowers, compared to imported flowers, due to minimal packaging and lesser likelihood of shipping damage.

Reduce your company’s carbon footprint.

Buying Local

More access to delicate and unique Maine-grown flower varieties that otherwise are not conducive to commercial shipping.

Support our local economy, while helping Maine flower farmers grow and expand their offerings.

Check out our Look Book to get an overview of some of the varieties you can expect to see in our offerings during each season and our Bloom Calendar for a more thorough list of when local varieties are available. Our Market Highlights are also a great place to see some of the special and unique flowers we have through the season.
