Farmer Feature: Charlie White – The Tulip Guy!

Charlie White and his beautiful potted flowers are back at the Chico Saturday Farmers’ Market, a telltale sign that spring is on it’s way!

Our friendly neighborhood flower farmer is in season right now, growing a stunning variety of hyacinth, tulips, crocus, daffodils, muscari (grape hyacinth) and more! All grown just a couple miles from the market in Chico – it doesn’t get much more local than that!

Charlie, whose relationship with flowers bloomed from just arranging them to growing them (starting with tulips “just for fun”) has now been growing a vast variety of flowers for over 20 years!

Charlie is only around until about mid April this season, so make sure to tiptoe to his tulips (you can find him at the Wednesday or Saturday Morning Farmers’ Market, as well as his stand on 9th and Salem) before they’re gone until next year!
