About Byrley Family Homestead

Welcome to Byrley Family Homestead, where our flowers are rooted in love, and blooming with purpose. Nestled in picturesque Honeoye, New York, Monica Byrley runs this farm with the support of her loving husband, Al, and her friends and family. Our farm is more than just a flower farm—it’s a labor of love and a sanctuary for the soul.

Our Mission

At Byrley Family Homestead, our mission is simple: to cultivate beauty, spread joy, and make a positive impact in our community and beyond. Through our commitment to sustainable farming practices, community engagement, and giving back, we’re dedicated to creating a more beautiful, vibrant, and sustainable world. See our “Visions for the Future” page to learn more about how we’re going to make that happen in the years to come.

Our Roots

Our journey began with a deep love and appreciation for the beauty of flowers. Drawn to their captivating colors, fragrances, and endless possible combinations and uses, we set out to create a space where flowers could thrive in harmony with nature. Inspired by principles of permaculture and regenerative agriculture, we’ve designed our farm to be a thriving ecosystem where flowers flourish and biodiversity thrives.

Why Cut Flowers?

Cut flowers are more than just beautiful decorations—they’re a source of joy, comfort, and connection. Research has shown that receiving flowers can have a profound impact on mental well-being, boosting mood, reducing stress, and increasing feelings of happiness and satisfaction. As someone who has always been drawn to the beauty and serenity of flowers, I’ve experienced firsthand the uplifting power they hold, and even more so, I cherish seeing someone else’s eyes light up when I hand them a bouquet, made just for them.

Supporting Pollinators

Our commitment to regenerative agriculture and permaculture techniques extends beyond just growing beautiful blooms—it’s about creating a thriving ecosystem that supports pollinators and biodiversity. Many of the varieties we grow are pollen-rich, and are interplanted with other vegetables and herbs to provide essential nourishment for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. By purchasing our flowers, you’re not just adding beauty to your home or office; you’re also supporting vital ecosystems and helping to protect our planet’s precious pollinators.

High-Quality Blooms

When you buy flowers from Byrley Family Homestead, you can trust that you’re getting professional-grade, high-quality blooms that are perfect for any occasion. Our flowers are carefully tended to using sustainable practices, never sprayed with chemicals, and are harvested at the opportune time; resulting in long-lasting blooms with vibrant colors and fragrances. Each bouquet is a testament to our dedication to providing you with the best nature has to offer.

Seasonal and Local

Did you know that most flowers sold in the US are imported from other continents, and many are dipped in fungicides prior to shipping? We take pride in offering seasonal and locally grown flowers that reflect the beauty of our region. By choosing local blooms, you’re not only supporting local farmers and businesses but also reducing the environmental impact of long-distance transportation. Plus, seasonal flowers are fresher, more vibrant, and have a significantly smaller carbon footprint compared to industry-standard, imported blooms.

Spreading Joy: Our Commitment to Giving Back

For the past few years, we’ve been on a mission to spread joy and kindness through the power of flowers. From delivering bouquets to hospitals to surprising friends going through tough times, and even brightening the day of random strangers, we’ve witnessed firsthand the positive impact that flowers can have on people’s lives. Even as we grow and expand our business, and work to raise the funds needed to complete our vision, we remain committed to continuing our tradition of giving away bouquets whenever the opportunity arises. Whether it’s donating flowers to local hospitals, nursing homes, or community centers, or simply surprising someone in need with a bouquet of fresh blooms, we believe that everyone deserves access to the psychological benefits that flowers can provide.

When you purchase flowers from Byrley Family Homestead, you’re not just buying a bouquet—you’re contributing to our mission of spreading joy and kindness in our community, and being positive stewards of our land. Together, we can make a difference, one bloom at a time.
