Our Story

the joy of local blooms

80% of the flowers in today's market are imported and shipped to where they are eventually sold, not fresh when we buy them.

We want to change that dynamic. By providing local, fresh cut-from-the-farm flowers, we can include varieties that don't ship well along with many classic favorites that just last longer than imports. By providing bulbs and tubers for cut flowers, you can grow some of the harder to find varieties. Sign up for one of our classes or tours to gain more knowledge of these beautiful blooms.

Experience:

Unique varieties that you don’t see every day

Varieties that have been forgotten, that evoke memories of loved ones who have passed
Something to reflect how notable our connections really are or how cheerful our home can be
Something more than just a passing thought

In 2017, the Purple Tuteur Farm was born.

It is our mission to make the joy and natural beauty of specialty fresh flowers available to you, from our garden or yours.
We are honored to have the opportunity to make this happen and happy to serve you.
Our sustainable growing practices make these flowers a healthy choice for you and for the environment.

Meet Your Farmer

Hi! My name is Linda Bradley. We’re so glad you’re here.

My love for flowers began with my grandmother, who cultivated beautiful roses and nurtured my appreciation for their beauty. Flowers have an extraordinary ability to soothe our minds, lift our spirits, and even contribute to our well-being.

In 2006, I became a Master Gardener, embracing the opportunity to deepen my knowledge and connect with a community of passionate growers. That same year marked a significant turning point in my life—the loss of my mother. Her passing inspired me to pursue this journey in earnest, honoring my family’s memory through the joy and connection flowers bring. Each bloom allows me to feel close to them while brightening the lives of others.

Growing has always been a part of my life. Some of my earliest memories are of working in our home garden with my father, a shared passion that planted the seeds of my lifelong interest. In college, I studied botany, horticulture, and French, dreaming of traveling the world to discover new food sources. However, hours spent staring into microscopes led me to pivot toward a fulfilling career in technology while continuing to cultivate my love for gardening at home.

Today, my husband Rufus, our small worker team and our dogs Kenzie and Lucy all share in the efforts on the farm. We bring my passion for flowers to life, sharing with the community their beauty and their power to inspire, heal and bring joy. I am forever grateful.
