Crespell is a small non-certified organic flower farm nestled in the Catskill Mountains 2.5 hours north of NYC. It was started in 2019 by Anne Hall. Crespell is committed to principles of permaculture and regenerative farming. We are interested in creating a sustainable farm at every level, from the team building, to the financial success to the environmental impact we have on our land, our community and the flower industry as a whole.  

We grow flowers that stop us in our tracks. We grow flowers to connect with the awe and wonder of that experience. We grow flowers because it tethers us to the weather, the seasons and we enjoy feeling those constraints viscerally. And, we grow flowers because growing anything fulfills those most basic desires to nurture, to sweat, to pay attention. We think there is nothing more worthy of our attention than plants.

Our 155-acre property is tucked between a mountain and a river which gives us the fertility of a flood plain and the cool temperatures in which our flowers thrive. Our stone farmhouse, which drew us to this site, was built in 1783 by the Crespell family. It is they who give us our name.

Crespell is committed to offering the freshest most stunning flowers we can grow using only organic inputs. We prioritize workplace diversity at every level. We hope to use our business as a way to create community, offer hard but fulfilling jobs that re-connect people with land, climate and the natural world and its fascinating processes.  We also want to be a part of the movement to bring local flowers back to the US and chip away at the unsustainable environmental impact of imported chemical-laden flowers that makes up the majority of the US flower industry. 

To make the biggest environmental difference and to have the opportunity to grow truly exquisite flowers, we serve mostly high-end local designers, weddings and events and the flower market in the city with thousands of stems/week.  

To all who support us, the workers and the buyers, the folks who partner with us for housing and the town, thank you for helping us to be good stewards of our community and the natural world.

We hope to share this bounty with you.
