Alaska Peony Cooperative's Story
In 2001, research into peonies as a specialty cut flower in Alaska began and interest quickly spread throughout the state. Several adventurous individuals and families ventured out to explore becoming commercial flower farmers in this unique climate. Now there are over 40 commercial peony farms spread out across Alaska, working together to bring you exquisite flowers.
Which brings us to The Alaska Peony Cooperative! This cooperative was established in 2015 as a way to bring together farmers and represent them as a unified voice in the specialty cut flower market.
“Our principles of responsibility, stewardship, and cooperation allow us to achieve more collectively than as individual farms. It is our pleasure to present premium Alaskan-Grown Peonies on behalf of our farmers, and we get to take great pride in helping them succeed at growing the very best just for you.”
When you purchase peonies through Alaska Peony Cooperative, you will be making a direct impact on the success of Alaska family farms.
