About us
C'est une Folie!
In French, this means "It's madness!"
And so our story begins with a seed of madness...
From Paris...
Back in Paris, Mathieu was known by his friends and colleagues as "MadMat" and Tala was known for her wild creativity and love for flowers. No one believed us when we told them we would move to BC in 5 years time. They believed us even less when we told them we would start a flower farm and have alpacas in the Okanagan! Leaving all our amazing friends and family and our successful businesses behind to start a completely different life from scratch on the other side of the world did seem pretty mad!
In 2023, after 20 years, Tala returned to her beloved home province of BC, with a French man and 4 big munchkins in tow.
To the Okanagan
Here, next to Penticton, in the lovely community of Kaleden, surrounded by the beautiful Okanagan Valley, we're learning to grow flowers and take care of alpacas. We hope you join us on our great Canadian adventure!
Fresh Cut Blooms
We are growing a variety of seasonal and native flowers, using sustainable and organic farming methods.
We are offering bunches of flowers and flower bouquets, fresh cut and dried blooms, and a flower subscription service, a great way to support your local flower farm for a whole season or part of the season. You will also be able to find us at local markets, so check back soon for updates.
In line with our sustainability ethos, we are very happy to be able to provide free local flower delivery by EV.
For our florist friends, please get in touch with us for fresh local wholesale flowers.
We look forward to being there for our customers throughout the year for all those special occasions, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day, Mother's day and Easter... and in as many creative ways as possible.
Following us on Instagram, subscribing to our newsletter, or checking out our website regularly are the best ways to keep up to date with our seasonal offers. Head over to Our Flowers page for more information on our flowers.
Alpaca Adventures
Alongside our flowers, we have 4 cute and curious alpacas. They provide a wonderful natural fertiliser for our flowers and have the softest wool. They also bring us a lot of joy and entertainment! We are offering wool spinning workshops. We will also be hosting alpaca kids camps in August and December. If you would like to come and meet the alpacas and do a halter walk with them, please contact us.
Floral Photography
