Our tips for using
watch this first...
Take your time while you shop: As you shop, your cart is reserved for one hour so you can purchase slowly and thoughtfully.
Ordering window: Our ordering window opens 1 week before distribution. This is designed to accommodate florists' need to plan ahead as well as our farmers' constraints related to working with nature. Most products are listed when our weekly email is sent on Wednesday mornings, but sometimes new products are added later. Be sure to check back each day for new items. You're welcome to place as many orders as you want, and we'll charge just one delivery fee.
Setting the correct fulfillment date: Most often, when folks cannot see any product listed, it's because they haven't selected the correct fulfillment date. This can be found at the top right corner. If you select "next two weeks" or custom select the following Wednesday, you will be able to see our inventory.
Sorting the catalogue: Rooted Farmers offers buyers different ways to sort our inventory. Top florist favorites include "stock high to low", "price low to high", and by specific colors. Have a favorite item? Use the search bar to see if it's in season that week.

How does delivery work?

Local deliveries are typically in the 10am to 7pm timeframe on Wednesdays. Large order deliveries for Boone, NC will be on Thursday mornings.

We are always happy to work out rendezvous points and meet up locations with you!
The delivery fee is dependent upon location, but generally ranges from $10 to $45. You can view our order minimums and see the delivery zone map here.
If we are delivering to a personal location, we ask that you leave buckets with water on your porch/shady spot on your delivery day so we can place your flowers there if you won't be home to meet us. You will receive a text message from your delivery person when your flowers have arrived!
Where can I pick up my orders from?
Pickup is available on Wednesday mornings from 8:00am - 12:30pm at the Bristol Bloom Collective market. It's located at 1509 West State Street, Bristol VA 24201. You'll know you're at the right place when you see the white brick building with the large, colorful flower mural on the side!
How do I submit an order for a future event?
The best way to place a request for a large future order is to fill out our Advanced Request Order Form at least two weeks in advance to request a pre-order with us. Completing the form does not guarantee fulfillment and is not an official order, but we will be in touch with you to confirm the details. You'll receive an official invoice through the Rooted Farmers platform the week before your fulfillment date.
What is your return and substitution policy?
Can I make changes to an order I've already placed?
To add product to orders when the Bristol Bloom Collective online shop is open, simply submit another order through the store. Payments are not processed until the order is received, so we will merge them on our end and make sure you are only charged for delivery once.
It is not possible to edit an existing order on Rooted Farmers, but you can send us a message on the Rooted platform or via email if there is anything you need to change.
Please let us know ASAP if you need changes made to your order.
How can I communicate my preferences about my order?
Need those cosmos cut as long as possible? Want your ranunculus harvested while fully open? We appreciate any notes or special requests you'd like to add on your order and will do our best to accommodate them!
Reach out to us on the Rooted Farmers platform by sending a message with your invoice or get in touch via email for anything order related.
I'm not a florist. Can I still buy flowers from you?
Although we specialize in selling our wholesale style blooms to florists & floral designers, we definitely have hours for you too! To learn more about buying locally grown blooms from us as a retail customer, head to the Retail Information page here!
