Cut your own

Casa Niya is a busy working farm and also where our family lives. For the safety and comfort of our guests and family members, Cut-Your-Own is only open on selected Sundays during summer months and by pre-booking through our website. We accept a maximum of 10 visitors in every 1.5-hour time slot to ensure a most enjoyable experience. There are picnic tables and bouquet-making stations for you to take a break or try your creativity skills on the spot! There are also photo-taking backdrops for you to snap a picture and share your beautiful bouquets on social media. Remember to tag us at @casaniyafarm; we love seeing your artwork!

We want you to have the best experience here and bring home gorgeous long-lasting flowers. We will greet you at the farm stand after you park your vehicle, set your tools up and provide you with a how-to lesson on harvesting and handling fresh flowers if you haven’t had a chance to go through the tips. We will also be around to answer any of your questions about flowers and bouquet-making techniques!

Have Fun!

How to harvest and handle cut flowers for the longest vase life

  • Make sure your clippers are clean
  • Cut the flowers at their right stages
  • Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle to increase water uptake
  • Remove foliage on stems that will be below the water
  • Place the stems in clean water and bring them into the shade
  • Display your flowers avoiding direct sun, hot or cold drafts and fruits
  • Re-cut the stems every 2-3 days and refill the vase with fresh water
  • Use flower food to prolong vase life
