Santa Cruz’s Cut flowers destination is Dynomite Farm. Our private U Cut flower experience gets amazing reviews and there’s nothing else like it. Set on our award-winning organic urban flower farm and homestead in the heart of Live Oak, you’ll have exclusive access to our show-quality and rare dahlia beds for a 90-minute visit that is entirely your own.
This isn’t a crowded pick-your-own operation. When you book a U Cut at Dynomite Farm, the farm is yours. You’ll cut show-quality and rare dahlia varieties straight from the beds, the kind of flowers that win competitions and stop people in their tracks, and take home a full field container of blooms you cut yourself.
Reservations are $59.00 per person. Companion pass (not cutting flowers; $15.00). Children 14 and under join free.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Such a beautiful space to cut flowers with my daughter, feed chickens, pick fruit, hop on a swing and decompress!”
Our dahlia beds are planted with intention. Every variety is chosen for its beauty, uniqueness, and wow factor, from competition-grade dinner plates to rare varieties that serious dahlia growers travel to find.
Dahlia season runs July through September. We are now taking reservations for July.
Since we are private, spots are limited. Book your private visit online, then show up, cut flowers, and take home something extraordinary.
