Greenhouses filled with Jewel-Colored Anemones

Christmas trees are not Battenfeld's only crop. Battenfeld has grown to become the largest grower of distinctive hybrid anemones in the United States, selling and shipping all over the world, direct from its Red Hook farm, in New York's Hudson River Valley.

Battenfeld provides anemones primarily for the wholesale flower trade and bulk order accounts such as hotels and resorts, but does invite small purchases - even solitary bouquets from the general public.

Down through the years the farm has become a regional attraction with the 'regulars' who range from housewives to romantics, and many area restauranteurs and innkeepers who prize extravagant anemones for table decorations.

Battenfeld flowers have graced the White House, the sets of countless television shows, and the rooms of many fine hotels.

According to Battenfeld, an anemone purchased directly from the farm should last for two weeks.

The Anemone farm is open between Labor Day and Memorial Day, and during that time a self serve cutting station is open to the public daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
