Bloomview Farm
Shawn Reiterman
Bloomview Farm is a family-owned farm dedicated to bringing beautiful, high-quality flowers and gardening products to the community. Shawn and Jenny discovered their love of growing flowers when they started a small cutting garden in Phoenix, Arizona. They decided to start a farm and shortly after moved to Pittsburgh for Shawn to focus on farming full time. They use bio-intensive and sustainable farming techniques to offer a wide variety of cut flowers. Shawn is a seed-starting wizard and grows all of his lisianthus from seed every year, among other things.

Forgotten Lands
Dan Ott
Forgotten Lands is a cut flower farm and retail greenhouse based in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2020 on a reclaimed 25-acre strip mine, Forgotten Lands expanded in 2025 by taking over a decades-old neighborhood greenhouse. We proudly operate as a hub for plants, people, and a whole lot of beauty.
While our primary focus is retail greenhouse production for the public, we are expanding our offerings of high-quality cut flowers for local florists, including lilies, chrysanthemums, and other greenhouse-grown stems.

Make It Slow
Victoria Fiaretti
Make It Slow is a one-acre micro flower farm and homestead in Lower Burrell, PA, run by Donovan and Victoria Fiaretti (usually with our two little boys in tow.)
We grow fresh, sustainably raised cut flowers for floral designers who value quality, seasonality, and thoughtful sourcing. What began as a small backyard garden in 2020 quickly became a way of life, and by November 2023, this work became our full-time calling. Victoria comes from a background in freelance floral design and saw firsthand the need for locally grown flowers with character and integrity. With grandparents who were farmers and award-winning gardeners, this path feels deeply rooted in legacy. Our last name, Fiaretti, translates to “dwellers by the woods where the flowers grow” - a meaning we now live every day. “Make It Slow” reflects the way we farm - intentionally, seasonally, and with care for the people we grow alongside. We are so excited to continue to develop and nurture strong, reliable relationships with our flower community through 3RFC.
