Our Story
Me and my dad, celebrating my 5 years of sobriety.
What we do
We are a regenerative flower farm in WA’s Snoqualmie Valley, located between Carnation and Fall City. We primarily grow for our Bouquet Subscriptions (AKA our CSA). Our flowers are also available wholesale to select local florists, and at SnoCo FloCo. We also design à la carte wedding and event florals. I spent 2024-2025 building the foundation of our Flower Breeding Program, and hope to have have some farm-grown seeds available for sale in 2026.

Part of what I love about English is that it provides us the precision for science and the bottomless depth we need for mystery. This is how the first part of my story became the second.
To be a regenerative farmer is to never stop learning. Even if I tried, I would never be able to understand everything about this tiny piece of land I steward. But flowers also offer what any art does: a way to pay deep attention, a skill to acquire, a way to express the silence we spend our lives orbiting.

How we do it
As a regenerative flower farm, our two main goals are to grow gorgeous plants and improve the health of the soil. Since we are also farming in the Snoqualmie Valley floodplain, we face unique challenges. We do our very best to make agricultural and business choices that work with the earth, not against it.
Anthology comes from an Ancient Greek word for a book of poems—literally, a gathering of flowers.That’s what I want this anthology to be: my business, and our little farm, but also a composition of different beauties, stitched together by place and bound into another whole.
Who we are
I’m Claire, full-time farmer-owner of Anthology Farm. I live on the farm in Carnation with my family of four. My fiancé is an Emergency Manager and an officer in the USCG. The farm is mostly a one-woman operation, with help from my Dad and my dog, Piglet.
When I first fell in love, it was with this enormous language I’m speaking with you now. For much of my story, I studied ancient things, how they were made and their history, and sometimes what they meant. I thought I would work in Academia, and spend my life in books and conversations. After my BA at Middlebury College in English and American Literatures, I moved to New York City to get my Masters of Fine Art from Columbia University.
