We are sisters Susannah and Lillian Calhoun, and along with our mother Diane Bigbee Calhoun, we grow cut flowers in southern Dona Ana County.Thanks to our extended growing season and diverse plantings, we grow a variety of incredibly beautiful, seasonal flowers and foliage that can be found in stunning designs at our farm events, local grocery stores/cafes, florists' shops, and home tabletops.Our “roots” are in New Mexico agriculture – the Bigbees homesteaded in Torrance county in 1907, and the Calhouns have been farming in the Mesilla Valley since the 1920’s. We strive to carry on the agricultural traditions of our families and give consumers a locally grown option for floral enthusiasts.WAIVERS:note: WHEN purchasing a ticket you are contractually binding these two waivers that release the individual owners and business entities of Esslinger Farms Inc. and Calhoun Flower Farms.
