A pick-your-own tulip experience at a local vineyard last month was just in time for warm weather and springtime outings.
Almost a year in the making, the tulip farm is a partnership between small business Blooms of Lost Acres and Lost Acres Vineyard. As apparent by the shared names, the businesses are North Granby neighbors, giving them inspiration to partner up for a perfect seasonal experience. Pairing a perfect atmosphere with an interactive and visually pleasing experience, the pick-your-own farm is appropriate for families, couples, girls’ days out or a solo adventure.
Gabrielle Galiatsatos is the owner of Blooms of Lost Acres, the small flower farm in operation since 2021. This past fall, her team built raised beds and planted 55,000 tulip bulbs on the vineyard property. Speaking of the inspiration for the project, Galiatsatos shares, “I have created a business that has brought me so much joy over the past few years with the support of a really amazing community, and I felt ready to take it to another level. Pick-your-own was a vision I knew I needed to build, and I knew the community wanted it as well.”
Lost Acres Vineyard owner Michelle Niedermeyer was excited to partner on this opportunity: “We loved Gabby’s idea the moment we heard it. What could be better than sipping wine surrounded by tulips and the natural beauty of Lost Acres Vineyard?”
While weeks of operation each spring are dependent upon demand and, of course, Mother Nature, the hope is that visitors will have a few weekends to participate. Interested visitors can find the latest updates on bloomsoflostacres.com and by following the farm on social media (@bloomsoflostacres).
