June Farm

June Farm is a five acre flower farm in Burlington's Intervale, co-owned by Brooke Giard and Braden Lalancette. They grow cut flowers for the wedding/events market, CSAs, Burlington farmers market, grocery stores, and florists. Imported flowers are often full of chemicals and can be poor quality, leaving a huge demand for fresh, local, organically-grown blooms. Last year June Farm doubled their acreage and plan to increase the wholesale share of the business, eventually making it their primary market. They will use their New Producer loan for investments this spring to help them scale up to meet that demand.
