Private chick visits end June 16 — book your spot before they grow up!
Dynomite Farm is a small, appointment-only flower farm on Mattison Lane in Santa Cruz, California. We grow dahlias, ranunculus, and seasonal cutting flowers across 19 raised beds, and we open the field to guests for private U-Cut experiences from late spring through mid-October.
This is not a farm stand or a drop-in experience. You book a time, we hold the field for you, and you cut whatever speaks to you. Guests typically leave with 10 to 15 stems of farm-grown flowers that would be impossible to find in a shop.
Dahlia season runs July through mid-October, with peak bloom from late July through September. Ranunculus season runs March through mid-May. Chick visits are available June through August. Dahlia tubers ship November through April.
Chick visits, gift cards, and private U-Cut flowers at our Santa Cruz flower farm.
Dynomite Farm opens its raised beds for private, appointment-only U-Cut experiences from late spring through mid-October. You arrive, the farm is yours, and you cut your own bouquet from dahlias, ranunculus, and seasonal blooms. One party at a time, by design. Visits start at $59. Dahlia season runs July through mid-October. Ranunculus runs March through mid-May.
Our dahlias bloom reliably from early July through mid-October across 19 raised beds. Peak season runs late July through September. We grow 100+ varieties — dinner plates, balls, pompons, decoratives, cactus types — in every color from pale blush to near-black. No two visits look the same.
Three membership tiers — Supporting, Patron, and Benefactor — each with increasing benefits. Members get reserved U-Cut visits, companion passes, discounts on farm purchases, and early access to the dahlia tuber shop every November. Supporting Membership is ideal for dahlia tuber customers. Higher tiers include multiple U-Cut visits throughout the season.
