Hi, I'm Erin.
I am a flower grower and designer located just outside of Portland, Maine. I dreamt up this little business at my home which has since turned into a farmette -- composed of flower fields, a floral design studio, and a future glasshouse, with salvaged windows that have been accumulating in the barn.
I am proud to fill these gardens with loads of TEXTURE, unusually hued and hard to find blooms, and desirable floral material that is perfect for event design. The search never ends and I'm constantly adding to the ever growing collection.
My floral influences have been industry innovators whom I have been fortunate to learn under, including a farming mentorship with Floret and design intensives with Susan McCleary and Flower School New York.
Meet Paul.
Paul is the husband extraordinaire who helps put the FARMER in my farmer-florist work title. He has been the bed prepper, spreadsheet creator, implement handler, and any other project involving grit and a high level of math calculations. While his day job is a physical therapist for professional hockey players, he loves the challenge that working outside in the field brings.
This is not the first business that we have created together. We also started a boutique physical therapy and exercise studio in Paul's hometown of Buffalo, New York. Attracted to the curiosities with starting a different kind of business, we have loved introducing more locally grown flowers into this community and my home state.
A short story about our land.
Once used as a tavern and stagecoach house for travelers back in the 1800's, our property sits high atop Blackstrap hill. The barn, previously affixed with a widow's walk, provided a lookout for innkeepers to watch for approaching boats in the nearby Casco Bay harbor and prepare for guest arrival.
The nickname Falmouthtown was chosen to embrace this sense of place and pay homage to the town's seafaring origins.
We moved to this homestead in 2019 with our dogs, a mini Schnauzer Olive, Italian Spinone Hazel, and rescue named Teddy.
