Every bloom is a
child's treatment funded.
Our flower farm on Pranger Road is more than a garden — it's a giving machine. Volunteers plant, tend, cut, and sell every flower so that the proceeds go straight to children fighting cancer in Manila.
When you buy a bouquet from us, you're not just getting fresh flowers. You're funding a child's chemotherapy, a family's hospital meals, or a night of shelter. 100% of proceeds go directly to Adonais Mercy House programs.
Grown with Love
Every flower is planted, tended, and harvested by our volunteer community.
Fresh Blooms & Arrangements
All arrangements are made from flowers grown right here on our Pranger Road farm. Availability changes with the seasons — stop by or email us to see what's blooming.
Availability changes weekly with the seasons. Email us or visit the farm stand for current offerings.

Get Your Flowers
Three ways to bring our flowers into your life — and fund a child's care in the process.
Pranger Road Farm Stand
Walk up to our farm stand on Pranger Road — fresh-cut blooms available when in season
Walla Walla Farmers Market
Find us at the Saturday Farmers Market in downtown Walla Walla — run entirely by our volunteers

Grown on Pranger Road
Our flower farm began as a small patch of soil and a big dream. Today, it's one of the most joyful places on our property — rows of color, volunteers kneeling in the dirt, and the constant hum of something beautiful growing.
Everything is grown without shortcuts. We plant by hand, water with care, and cut only what's ready. When you hold one of our bouquets, you're holding hours of volunteer love — and every dollar it earns flows directly to a child who needs it.
Planted and tended entirely by volunteers
Grown with care — no shortcuts, no waste
Cut fresh and sold at the farm stand or market
Every dollar goes to children with cancer in Manila
Flowers for Any Occasion
Planning a wedding, a celebration, a memorial, or just want a standing weekly order? We'd love to make something beautiful with you.
Reach out by email and we'll work with you directly. All custom orders are fulfilled by our volunteers, and every dollar goes to the children.
Every other piece of Adonais — the hospital visits, the medicine, the meals — is funded here, by people kneeling in the dirt on Pranger Road. The flower farm is the engine. And it runs entirely on volunteers.
If you give us your Saturday morning, we turn it into a child's treatment. No exaggeration. That's the math.
Why This Farm Qualifies
Floriculture = Specialty Crop
USDA and Washington State explicitly list floriculture and nursery crops as eligible specialty crops. Cut flowers are a textbook applicant — not a gray area.
501(c)(3) Nonprofit Status
The two strongest grants — SCBGP and Local Food System Infrastructure — are open to nonprofits. Nonprofit status is not a barrier; it's neutral to positive for most programs.
Washington State Location
WA state grants require crops to be grown in Washington. Walla Walla is inside every eligibility boundary that matters — WSDA, USDA Rural Development, and Pacific Northwest foundations.
USDA Rural Classification
Walla Walla qualifies as rural under USDA definitions. This unlocks preference weighting on federal programs and opens the Rural Business Development Grant.

The Flower Farm Does More Than
Raise Money
A working flower farm on Pranger Road isn't just a revenue source — it's a living, visible expression of the mission. It draws people in, builds trust, and tells a story that no brochure can.
Aesthetic Appeal
Beauty That Stops People Cold
Rows of sunflowers, peonies, and dahlias in full bloom are visually arresting. People slow their cars, stop and take photos, and share on social media — unprompted. The farm is its own marketing.
- Instagram-worthy visuals year-round
- Organic social media reach from visitors
- A joyful, welcoming face for the mission
Credibility
Proof You Can See and Touch
A physical farm gives donors and grant funders something concrete to point to. It shows the mission is operational, rooted in the community, and generating real economic output — not just a website and a good story.
- Tangible proof of operations for grant applications
- Builds donor trust — they can visit and see
- Strengthens every funding conversation
Visitor Magnet
People Come to the Farm
A working flower farm with a road-side stand pulls in neighbors, locals, and out-of-towners who would never have found us otherwise. Every visitor becomes a potential donor, volunteer, or ambassador.
- Farm stand turns foot traffic into revenue
- U-pick events create deep emotional connection
- Every visitor hears the mission firsthand
"When people see the farm, they understand the mission instantly. No explanation needed."
The flower farm is Adonais Mercy House made visible.
The Real Value of the Farm
We don't need to sell every flower to justify the farm. A bouquet given freely to a winery — with no invoice, no expectation, no transaction — does something a paid advertisement never could.
A donation of care is enough. It opens a door. It starts a conversation. It puts our name and our story in a room full of exactly the right people — and it does it with beauty, not a brochure.
The Flower Farm
Partnership Program
A flower farm is a natural partner for local agriculture, food businesses, and community brands. Cross-marketing with aligned farms and producers expands our reach, deepens our roots in the Walla Walla Valley, and strengthens our story for grant funders who want to see community integration.
Frog Hollow Farm
Brentwood, CA · Organic Specialty Crops · Direct-to-Consumer
The First Ask — Low Barrier, High Value
Donate your unsellable cut flowers to us.
Every farm has end-of-market flowers that didn't sell — stems past their peak for retail but still beautiful for arrangements, dried wreaths, or balikbayan boxes headed to Manila. Instead of composting them, Frog Hollow donates them to Adonais.
We process, arrange, and sell them at our farm stand and market booth. 100% of the revenue goes to a child's treatment. For Frog Hollow, it's a zero-cost charitable donation with a meaningful story attached to their name.
Once the relationship is established, this opens up
Co-branded Gift Bundles
Seasonal fruit + fresh flowers as a premium gift set. Sold at both farm stands.
Joint Farmers Market Booth
Share booth space at the Saturday Market. Double the product, double the draw.
Shared Email Cross-Promotion
Introduce each other to our subscriber bases seasonally.
CSA Flower Add-On
Offer Adonais flowers as an add-on to their CSA box program.
Why Frog Hollow Says Yes
Unsold flowers are a disposal cost for them — we convert that waste into something meaningful
Their brand gets associated with a children's cancer charity — powerful for their own donor and customer story
Both farms grow specialty crops — the SCBGP grant sees this as a qualifying 'community benefit network'
No logistics complexity — they set flowers aside, we arrange pickup
A tax-deductible in-kind donation — fair market value of the flowers is deductible
Friends of Adonais — Winery Partner Program
A named membership for wineries who carry our flowers and champion our mission
The Flowers Get Us in the Door.
The Relationship Is What We're Building.
A free weekly flower delivery isn't just a charitable gesture — it's a standing invitation to be present in one of the most relationship-rich environments in Walla Walla. Every drop-off is a conversation. Every conversation is a connection. Over time, those connections become the most valuable asset the farm has.
Winery owners, tasting room managers, and their guests are exactly the audience Adonais needs to know us — affluent, community-rooted, philanthropically inclined, and looking for causes that feel local and real. The flower is the reason we're there every week. The mission is what makes them want us back.
The NFC Vase in Action
Delivered weekly to winery tasting rooms — guests tap to learn the mission
Major Donor Pipeline
Winery owners and their guests are high-net-worth individuals. Weekly presence builds familiarity before any ask is ever made.
Event & Venue Access
Friends of Adonais wineries become natural hosts for fundraising dinners, donor cultivation events, and seasonal harvest celebrations.
Wine Club Cross-Promotion
Partner wineries promote Adonais to their wine club members — a pre-qualified audience of local supporters who buy because they believe in something.
Staff as Volunteers
Tasting room staff who meet us weekly often become our most enthusiastic farm volunteers and market booth helpers.
Mutual Social Media Reach
"Our flowers this week are from Adonais Mercy House" — a winery Instagram post to 10,000 followers costs them nothing and reaches an audience we'd never find on our own.
Referral Network
One winery partner who believes in us refers us to two more. The program grows without cold outreach — entirely through warm, vouched-for introductions.
What "Friends of Adonais" Means
Our Presence Beyond Pranger Road
The flower farm lives on Pranger Road — but the mission doesn't have to. Every winery that becomes a Friend of Adonais extends our reach into tasting rooms, wine trails, and visitor circles we could never access on our own. A vase in a winery 30 miles away is Adonais showing up in a room full of people who've never heard of us — and leaving a good impression before we've said a word.
A winery becomes a Friend of Adonais simply by agreeing to host our NFC flower vase. That's the only requirement. In return, they get:
- Weekly fresh flowers — free, no commitment
- "Friend of Adonais" badge for their website and tasting room
- Featured on the Adonais website and social media
- Listed on our winery partner map
- Invitations to exclusive donor cultivation events
- Co-branded seasonal promotions
The Compounding Effect
Grant Angle
A documented Friends of Adonais winery network demonstrates community integration and multi-entity partnerships — strengthening both SCBGP and foundation grant applications.
How to Keep Your Bouquet Fresh for a Week
💧 Water & Vase
- Use a clean vase — bacteria is the #1 killer of cut flowers
- Fill with cool or room-temperature water
- Add the flower food packet (sugar + acidifier + biocide)
✂️ Trimming
- Cut 1–2 inches off each stem at a 45° angle
- Cut under running water to prevent air bubbles
- Remove leaves below the waterline — they rot and foul the water
🌡️ Placement
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat vents
- Avoid fruit nearby — ethylene gas ages flowers faster
- Cooler rooms = longer vase life
🔄 Daily Maintenance
- Change the water every 1–2 days
- Re-trim stems slightly each time
- Remove wilting flowers promptly
DIY Flower Food
Mix 1 quart water + 2 tbsp lemon juice + 1 tbsp sugar + ½ tsp bleach. Sugar feeds, acid balances pH, bleach kills bacteria. Most bouquets last 7–10 days with these steps.

The Winery Flower Initiative
Free flowers · NFC vase · "Tap to Learn More" · Live donations from tasting rooms
We Bring Flowers.
They Tell the Story.
Every week, we deliver a fresh bouquet from our Pranger Road farm to Walla Walla Valley wineries — free of charge. The bouquet sits on the tasting room counter in a custom NFC-enabled vase. A small label reads: "Tap to Learn More." That's it. No ask. Just curiosity.
Guests tap and land on a page that tells them who grew the flowers, why, and what the mission is. Some will give right there. Most will remember. A few will become donors, volunteers, or partners. All of them leave knowing Adonais exists — and that's the point.
We deliver fresh flowers weekly
Our volunteers drop off a new bouquet each week — no charge, no strings. The winery keeps it as long as they'll have us.
"Tap to Learn More" — that's the only label
A custom-branded vase with a discreet NFC chip. No donation ask on the vase itself — just a gentle invitation to learn the story.
The page does the work
Guests land on a beautiful mission page — who grew the flowers, why, what a $25 gift does. A donate button is there, but the story comes first. Relaxed tasting room guests convert well.
We measure every tap
Each vase has a unique NFC tag per winery. We track taps, page views, and donations per location — live. We know exactly which wineries drive the most engagement.
Three Things This Accomplishes
Raises Awareness
Hundreds of tasting room visitors per winery, per week, encounter Adonais flowers and tap to learn the story — passively, without a sales pitch. "Tap to Learn More" is curiosity, not pressure. Brand recognition compounds over time.
Weekly Access to Wineries
A free weekly flower delivery gives us a standing, welcomed relationship with every participating winery. That relationship opens doors — events, introductions, major donor referrals.
Measurable, Electronic Donations
NFC taps are tracked per vase, per location. We know exactly which winery drives the most donations, which days are highest traffic, and what our tap-to-donate conversion rate is.

What a Weekly Flower Delivery Looks Like
From farm to tasting room — here's how the winery flower delivery works end to end.
Harvest from the farm
Volunteers cut the week's freshest stems early in the morning before the heat. Flowers are bucketed, conditioned, and moved to the cooler.
Arrangement day
Stems are sorted, arranged into bouquets sized for each winery's vase, wrapped, and labeled. Each arrangement is tagged with the Adonais story card.
Delivery to winery tasting rooms
A volunteer driver delivers fresh bouquets to each Friends of Adonais winery. The old arrangement is swapped out, the NFC vase is wiped clean, and the new one goes in.
Guests tap "Learn More" all weekend
Tasting room visitors encounter the flowers at peak freshness over the busiest days of the week. Taps, page visits, and donations are tracked live per location.
Weekly report
We review tap counts and donation totals per winery. Highest-performing locations get priority for special arrangements and event invitations the following week.
The relationship deepens
The staff recognize our volunteer. They ask about the children. They start telling guests the story unprompted. That's when it stops being a delivery and starts being a partnership.
A Sacred Moment in the Delivery Week
The Sisters of Carmel Visit the Farm
The Discalced Carmelite Sisters — a contemplative order rooted in prayer, simplicity, and love — visit the Pranger Road farm as part of their connection to the Adonais mission. Their presence on the farm is a reminder of what all of this is ultimately for.
When the Sisters visit, they often help with arrangement day — quietly working alongside volunteers, offering prayers for the children each bouquet will serve. Some of those arrangements go directly to the winery deliveries that week. They leave knowing their hands touched something that will reach a stranger's heart — and perhaps fund a child's treatment halfway around the world.
Prayer & Presence
Each arrangement blessed before it leaves the farm
Hands in the Work
Sisters join volunteers on arrangement days
Mission Alignment
Contemplative care for the poorest and most vulnerable
When a tasting room guest taps "Learn More" on a vase that the Sisters arranged — they're not just learning about a flower farm. They're touching a chain of prayer, labor, and love that began on a small patch of soil in Walla Walla and ends with a child in Manila.
