About Our Farm

For many of us, gardens are the places we go to ground ourselves and connect to that deep sense of joy that nature offers.

For us at Lyndaker Farms, it’s the garden that melts away stress and reconnects us to the abundant life that surrounds us.

This is why we farm; and particularly, this is why we grow peonies!

We don’t know whether it’s the peony’s audacious beauty, its inherent toughness and ability to grow in extreme conditions or its benefits to pollinators and other beneficial insects.

We just know that peonies have captured our hearts entirely.

If you share our love of gardening and if peonies have captured your heart too, then welcome to our farm!! 

We can’t wait to share our peonies with you and your garden!
