Apple Core Farm & Cut Flowers, LLC

“I did my wedding flowers at Paul's farm and it was so much fun! I had some of my friends and family join in , and we spend the morning arranging flowers and making bouquets (with the help of Paul and Lucy, a florist in town) for my wedding. Paul was so helpful and communicative thoughtout the entire process! He helped talk me through flowers and greenery options in my colors, and had me come by the farm to see the flower options. All of the flowers were picked and ready in buckets the morning we did the arrangements. The colors were perfect and he suggested many flowers I never would have considered. I cannot stress enough how perfectly our bouquets and the centerpieces turned out! The arrangement process was seamless and such a fun activity with my family and bridesmaids, an experience I'll never forget!”

“I cared a lot about the florals for my daughter’s recent wedding so I wanted to be hands on with the design and arrangements but I didn’t want to work on the wedding day so we selected Apple Core Farm and we could not have been happier about the experience and the flowers. Paul is a wonderful host and all of our guests commented about it. He was knowledgeable and helpful but also allowed us full control over the design and assembly of the arrangements. We got far more than we would have with a full service florist and we got the experience. Paul brought the finished florals to the venue on the wedding day and helped set up. I would recommend Apple Core for wedding or any other event. Thank you, Paul.”

“Paul is AMAZING! While planning my wedding, I wanted to prioritize keeping a reasonable budget as well as finding a way to honor the small business culture that makes Hood River such a special place. Apple Core Farms delivered both in spades. Paul was able to provide extensive options of greenery AND gorgeous flowers and provide storage for all of our florals the night before the wedding. Touring the farm and learning how to assemble bouquets was a highlight for many members of our family, and Paul was an incredibly gracious host and teacher. Seriously-- use Apple Core for your floral (wedding, birthday party, fun 'how-to' lesson on flower arranging etc) needs. You won't regret it!!!”

“We had such a great time visiting Paul and Tom on their beautiful farm! Paul loves to share his love of flowers and we had a lovely walk around the various plantings while he explained everything about the farm and their plans for the future. I’m so looking forward to coming back and seeing not only the flowers but the farm itself grow. Such lovely gentlemen. We came out for the Tea and Sweet Peas and I will definitely be making it an annual event. Thank you so much!! 💕”

“We had the pleasure of making the bouquets and centerpieces at Apple Core Farm. Such a great time and a unique way to have something different and special for all involved in the wedding. If you are looking for to do with your group, call Paul! It was so wonderful and all who attended enjoyed it and it made the wedding so beautiful!”

“Our team had an amazing time creating beautiful bouquets! Paul was very welcoming and a great teacher. The farm had a view of Mt. Adams and was beautiful. We were able to pick our own flowers as well as use precut flowers Paul prepared for our bouquets. Thank you for a wonderful experience!”

“Paul was so kind! I went to the farm to build my bouquet for my elopement and he went above and beyond! He took so much time to show me and my family around the farm and flowers. Truly a magical experience for all of us. Would happily go to Paul for any floral needs.”

“What a special place! Paul is so passionate and about flowers, gardening, farming and sharing his knowledge and home with others. We had a great visit and made beautiful bouquets from the flowers at his farm. Thank you so much, Paul!!”
