Meet our local growers
Buying locally grown flowers supports the communities we live in and causes less environmental impact. When local flower crops are in season, we’re proud to partner with small family farms.

Xai C. Farm
Like many Hmong people, Xai Cha and her husband Kher Thao fled Laos after the Vietnam War. They resettled in the U.S. in 1979 and started growing vegetables in their backyard. In 1995, they established Xai C. Farm in Snohomish County, where they grow a robust selection of flower crops that thrive in the Northwest. Their sole outlet for selling flowers has been Pike Place Market—until the coronavirus closed it down.
