Rain Shadow Ranch

Rain Shadow Ranch is a beautiful six-acre production flower field nestled peacefully near Blackjack Creek in Port Orchard, WA. At our charming farm, we take great pride in specializing in cultivating an exquisite and diverse selection of cut flower varieties, renowned for their long vase life, sturdy stems, and stunning beauty that appeals to all the senses in delightful ways. Visitors to Rain Shadow Ranch can fully immerse themselves in a vibrant tapestry of colors and fragrances, creating an experience that makes each moment spent here truly unforgettable and magical.

Join us for our popular U-pick flower experience, where you can wander through our colorful fields and hand-select your own stunning arrangements. We also host engaging workshops throughout the year, ranging from floral design to crafting with natural materials, perfect for both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts.

In addition to our fresh flowers, we proudly feature a curated selection of non-perishable products, including artisanal pantry goods, hand-poured candles, natural soaps, and unique local artisan decor. Our farm dinners offer a taste of the season with delicious, locally-sourced dishes served in a warm and inviting atmosphere, making for a memorable evening under the stars.
