About:
RMB is a small cut flower farm south of Warrensburg. I offer dahlia tuber and cutting sales, u-pick, wholesale, bulk buckets, bouquets and bouquet bars. Our biggest crops are dahlias, Lisianthus, snapdragons, speciality zinnia and tuberose. I also grow a long list of filler flowers and foliage. We are installing a perennial field in 2025. The majority of what I grow is started from seed right here on the farm. We dig the dahlia tubers in the fall and store until the washing and dividing starts in February. We also dig and store the tuberose. Post harvest floral care is very important to me. Selling the best crop possible is paramount. I also practice strict sanitation practices when it comes to harvesting the dahlia stems and clumps to avoid spreading potential disease. We have irrigated beds and grow in a combination of open and Sunbelt fabric covered beds.
