Duchess of Gloucester Flowers
Specialty Cut Flower Growers

We are a specialty cut flower grower located in the Middle Peninsula of Virginia's Chesapeake Bay region. Our goal is to provide the finest cuts at a fair price to all of our customers.  

Our membership in the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers helps assure that we are part of the network of professionals who specialize in growing the finest specialty cut flowers.

We believe in sustainable agriculture and in growing for local markets. We believe that the freshest flowers are best bought locally. Locally bought flowers insure longer vase life for you, the customer, because you are buying a freshly harvested crop. In addition, you have the satisfaction of buying the most economical product because the transportation costs of getting from the farm to you are minimal. You are buying the flower from a small, local farmer. You are not paying for  the overhead expenses of storage and transportation from remote locations!!

Duchess of Gloucester Flowers is now (2011) in its sixth year of production. We started as a direct marketer only (retail sales to customers at the Williamsburg Farmers' Market). We expanded to the local floral trade in 2008. In 2009 we started our edible flowers line, which we offer to local restaurants through Dave and Dee's Homegrown Mushrooms and at the farmers market.

To date we are a very small-scale operation.  This allows us to hand-select flowers for our customers and to provide personal service to them too.  Marion Baker is the owner of the business and relies on the expertise of a select group of specialists’ to bring only the finest of products to our customers.
