Welcome to our new U-Pick Flower Field!
*UPick is OPEN! Sundays 9am-1pm*
We built this farm to share it with you and we are so excited to open our U-Pick field this season! Come pick your very own organically grown flowers at the farm, right from our fields.
We’re located just 20 min from Missoula proper (find directions here), an easy and quick trip. Bring a friend, your mom, your dad, your kiddos, your favorite aunts, and pick handfuls or buckets to take home! Many details below, please read before you come out.
Keep an eye on social media (@fieldfiveflowers / @countyrailfarm) for updates! We try to keep the website up to date, but instagram is the best way to keep tabs on us.

- Garden gloves are suggested as some stems can be prickly or cause a slight rash when harvested.
- Snips/clippers. We will have a handful of clippers at the farm, but if you can bring your own that would be great! We will sanitize your clippers with bleach before you head out to harvest.
What we Provide

($10 return credit if you bring them back!) - Clippers – you’re welcome to bring your own, but we do have some clean and ready for your convenience!

Safety and other notes
- Bees and pollinators are in full force at the farm during the season (and we like it that way!). Generally, they don’t cause any problems, but be aware when cutting flowers to not accidentally grab a bumble bee.
- Uneven ground! Please wear appropriate shoes… and clothing too, for that matter.
- Some plants and flowers can be toxic to children and animals if consumed. Please be observant of small children.
- We do not have a public bathroom at this time on the farm. Please plan accordingly!
*There is a bar just down the road if you are in need*
Flower After Care: a couple suggestions to keep your blooms happy and long lasting
- Harvest when it’s cool – early in the day or later in the evening
- Harvest stems by cutting at a diagonal and place them immediately into your water bucket
- Keep flowers in a shaded area during and after harvest
- Use clean vases/vessels/clippers
- Cut your flowers often. Every few days be sure to trim an inch or so from your flowers’ stem. Change their water each time.
