The Day Dream Farmer is a Vermont and New York-based horticultural operation established in 2022 by Aliza Pickering. Serving as both a garden center and a local farm cooperative, the business functions as an extension of a long-standing family nursery. Their horticultural offerings are centered on retail sales of annual bedding plants, seasonal hanging baskets, vegetable starts, and native pollinator-friendly plants. In addition to their nursery operations, they manage a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program and operate a seasonal farmstand from May through October. The business focuses on connecting the local community with agricultural products, including cut flowers and organic produce. Their garden center serves as a primary hub for home gardeners looking for ornamental and edible plant varieties, while the farmstand facilitates the distribution of goods from regional producers. The operation is dedicated to fostering agricultural education and accessibility.
