Canyon Echo Flower Farm was established in 2022 and is located in Park City, Utah at Parleys Summit just under 7,000 feet elevation. What began as a simple dream to fill their yard with an abundance of colorful dahlias has grown into a thriving mountain flower farm rooted in family, hard work, and a deep connection to the land.

With three young children Dani and Dan were motivated to build something close to home where they could get their hands dirty and have a reason to spend time together outdoors. As first generation farmers, they have learned from scratch what it takes to run a flower farm. They started with a vision, a tractor and a lot of dahlia tubers.

The first year growing they planted 250 dahlia tubers and did not know what to expect and what the flowers would yield. Dahlias are known to rapidly multiply and the farm quickly grew from the original 250 tubers to well over a thousand dahlia plants.

Growing flowers at high elevation proved to be both rewarding and challenging. Late spring snowstorms and unpredictable early frosts required thoughtful adaptation. They decided to build a high tunnel to protect their crops from the harsh mountain environments. Each year that they grow they experiment with new cut flower varieties to see what thrives in their unique mountain microclimate.

Sustainability and environmental stewardship are foundation to the farms philosophy. All flowers are grown organically without the use of any pesticides and herbicides. They fight off elements like grasshoppers and earwigs by letting their chickens free range on the pests naturally. With honey bees pollinating the flowers and children running barefoot in the garden maintaining a safe and healthy growing environment remains a top priority.

The farms name, Canyon Echo honors the two horses Canyon and Echo that once grazed the property when it operated as a horse pasture. The lands agricultural heritage remains meaningful to the family. One day when their children are older they will welcome horses back to the property again.

Today Canyon Echo Flower Farm specializes in premium locally grown cut flowers with a particular passion for dahlias. The farm supplies florists with wholesale stems and offers seasonal bouquet subscriptions to the local community. In addition, Canyon Echo Flower Farm designs and produces weddings using locally grown flowers.

Through flowers Dani and Dan are committed to cultivating beauty, strengthening community connections, and elevating celebrations with thoughtfully grown and locally sourced flowers.
