From the Field

We're officially closing our dahlia bouquet subscriptions for the 2026 season.

When we launched Chickpa Ranch Dahlias, our goal was to offer a limited number of seasonal subscriptions and share the flowers we were growing here on our little farm in Troutdale.

After getting the dahlias planted, watching the field grow, and preparing for the season ahead, we've decided to close subscriptions and focus on making this first growing season the best it can be.

With nearly 140 dahlia plants thriving, our priority is now caring for the field, harvesting beautiful flowers, and sharing bouquets as they become available.

Closing subscriptions allows us to:

We're live.

After weeks of planting, watching, and waiting, the field is ready—and so are we.

Dahlia subscriptions for the 2026 season are officially open.

This year, we planted around 140 dahlia plants across a wide range of varieties, and everything we're seeing points toward a strong, beautiful season ahead. To keep this experience intentional and high-quality, we're limiting this first season to just 15 subscriptions.

Each subscription includes 8 weeks of fresh, field-grown dahlia bouquets, harvested at peak bloom and shared locally.

This is a small, boutique run—and once spots are filled, we're done for the season.

As a thank you, Founders will receive this discount for life on future seasons.

You can choose between weekly pickup, or delivery on one of two routes per week.

Everything we're building here is rooted in sharing what's grown on this land, at the right time, in the right season.

If you've been following along, this is your moment to jump in.

We're just about there.

Nearly every dahlia we planted this season has now pushed through the soil. Out of roughly 140 plants across a wide mix of varieties, only a handful are still on their way up. The field is filling in, and the pace of growth right now is incredible to watch day by day.

This season has been a big one for us—more plants, more variety, and a lot of learning along the way. Based on what we're seeing, we're expecting a strong yield that will support around 15 full dahlia subscriptions this summer.

And with that… it's time.

Our official launch is this Friday, June 19th.

We'll be opening sign-ups for our 8-week dahlia bouquet subscription. Each week will feature fresh-cut blooms from the field, built around what's peaking at just the right moment.

A couple things to know as we get ready:

Timing will follow the field. Bloom cycles and harvest volume will guide exact weekly timing.

We plan to run two delivery routes each week to support those who choose delivery.

There may be slight timing adjustments during the week of August 9–15 due to the County Fair.

No matter what, every subscription will receive a full 8 weeks of bouquets.

If you've been thinking about joining us this season, now's the moment.

We can't wait to share what's coming out of the field.

Things are starting to move in a big way out in the field.

What was recently rows of bare soil is now filling in with strong, healthy dahlia plants. Each day brings noticeable growth—more leaves, taller stems, and the early structure of what will soon become full, blooming plants.

It's that stretch of the season where everything starts to accelerate.

We're seeing the first real signs of the color that's on its way. A few early blooms are beginning to show, hinting at what the field will look like in just a few short weeks. It's a reminder that all the early work—planting, spacing, and patience—is starting to pay off.

Behind the scenes, we're also getting everything ready for launch. We're preparing for our first round of dahlia subscription sign-ups and dialing in the details to make this season something special.

If you've been following along, now's the time to stay close—things are about to get exciting.

More updates coming soon.

The dahlias are up.

After weeks of waiting, the majority of the plants have now sprouted and are pushing through the soil. What started as bare rows is quickly turning into a full field, and we're shifting into the growth phase of the season.

From here on out, things start moving fast.

After a few weeks of waiting, the first small sprout has finally pushed through the soil. It's a small moment, but a good sign that the season is underway.

We planted the dahlia tubers at the end of April, setting the foundation for the season ahead. Rows are in, spacing is set, and now we wait. It's early, but everything starts here.
