About Dynomite Farm
A small neighborhood flower farm in Santa Cruz, California
Dynomite Farm is an award-winning, member-supported organic flower farm and urban homestead in the Live Oak neighborhood of Santa Cruz. Close to the ocean, close to town, and close enough to stop by for a breath of fresh air, a break from the everyday, a bit of serenity and a bucket of color.
We grow fresh local blooms, led by dahlias and ranunculus. We do not ship. Our flowers are meant to be cut here, carried home or gifted, and enjoyed straight from our raised flower beds.
Our Private U-Cut Flower Experience
Our signature offering is simple: we share our raised flower beds with you, privately. Visits are by appointment only, with one party at a time, so you can slow down and be fully in the garden and share the blooms with those with whom you want to be with.
Wander the beds, cut what you love, and leave with an armful of blooms. We provide the snips and cutting tips. Bring a bucket for your flowers. And if you forget, we have you covered.
Come solo for a reset, bring a friend, plan a date, or make it a seasonal family tradition.
A flower project you can be part of
We exist because people support us. Membership keeps this little farm going and includes two Private U-Cut Flower Experiences each year, plus priority access to booking, dahlia tuber sales, and seasonal updates.
Location
We’re easy to reach in Santa Cruz, California — about a mile from the Pacific Ocean and just off Highway 1. Parking is easy. Visits are calm and unhurried. 2331 Mattison Lane, Santa Cruz, CA 95062
The people behind the petals
Markus leads the farm and field work, with help from a small team and one resident cat who helps us with the gophers.
Come cut flowers with us! We’d love to welcome you.
“Had a lovely time visiting this absolute gem of an urban farm right in the heart of Live Oak. Marcus is a super gracious host and brilliant farmer, we loved getting to pick from their selection of diverse and gorgeous dahlias and create our own bouquets to take home!”
