During our open time in May and June, we have certain fields where you can choose and dig your own iris plants. One field is labeled as to variety, and the other is planted at random (our anonymous field). In the labeled field, there are photo signs by each variety. In the “anonymous” field you need to see the bloom to know what you’re getting – or be

adventurous and dig pot-luck. Either way, they’re all nice.

Dig it yourself iris in the labeled field are priced at $6.00 each. This is priced per plant. Some plants have multiple fans, so you may get several divisions for the price. The iris in the anonymous field are priced at $7.50. These iris have been in place for a couple of years and  most are really big. You will be getting an excellent value in this field.

You do not need to bring any tools. We provide digging forks and bags at each field. There are also pens to write the names on the sack or on the plant.

Since this is a working farm and the plants are all grown in the field, you should wear sturdy shoes if you’re the one doing the digging. We’ve had people try digging in high-heels or flip-flops, but that is a bit of a challenge. You could also consider bringing along a designated digger.
