What we sell

Dahlia tubers are sold individually and guaranteed to have at least one eye; an example of a tuber is shown above. Some tubers may have ends cut to check for quality, remove a problem area or simply due to damage during harvest. Cut tubers perform the same as intact ones; some think that reducing tuber length can even speed up growth and rooting of a new plant. 

 

Our growing practices

Our plants are grown conventionally (not organically) on two farm fields in upstate New York. We use integrated pest management program. We don’t have a U-pick program; all stems are harvested by the farmers using good sanitation practices. We sanitize snips between clumps when dividing. All plants with suspected viral diseases or gall are disposed of as soon as an issue is discovered.

Shipping charges

We ship via USPS priority mail with tracking within the USA. We are unable to ship to Canada or internationally.

The shipping charge is $18. Orders over $200 ship free, no code needed.

Combined orders.

We will gladly combine your multiple orders and refund extra shipping charges. Orders placed under the same email address by March 31st will combine automatically (for the customer).  Contact us for later orders at admin@beverly.farm.

 

Substitutions and cancellations.

All sales are final; there are no cancellations.

In case of storage failures we will contact a customer to let them decide decide whether to offer a refund or substitute for an in-stock variety. No automatic substitutions will be provided.

Missing packages

Please contact us if your package got missing at admin@beverly.farm. Note that missing package claims are filed by the seller (shipper), not the buyer. We will do our best to ship a replacement, however popular varieties may be out of stock. We will gladly provide a refund if that’s what you chose.

Shipping time

The farm is located in hardiness zone 5a where Hudson Valley meets the foothills of Adirondack mountains. We are just over hundred miles away from Canada. It’s cold over here! We start sending out orders in the first week of April, weather permitting. No early shipping is offered at this time, sorry. Fall shipping may be considered in November 2026 for 2027 season, please inquire at admin@beverly.farm if interested.

promptly disposed of.

Phytosanitary compliance

The farm is inspected and licensed by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, license # 647934. A copy of a nursery grower certificate will be provided in your shipment if it goes over the Rocky Mountains to avoid potential delays. A separate phytosanitary certificate will be provided for shipments destined for California free of charge.

Blind tuber refund: July 31^st deadline

If a tuber fails to grow please dig in up and take pictures of crown area as well as a stamped name and send it to admin@beverly.farm for a refund to an original form of payment. The guarantee is valid until July 31^st of the growing season.

Mislabel refund: September 30 deadline

If you find that the variety blooms differently than anticipated please take a picture of both blooms and leaves and send it to admin@beverly.farm for a refund to an original form of payment. We trust your word; please understand we are a small farm with very limited resources. We will also try to identify the variety for you. The guarantee is valid until September 30^th of the growing season.

Tuber rot

We find that tuber rot is largely environmental, driven by growing conditions such as excessive soil moisture and low soil temperature. No refund will be provided for rotten tubers. Please note that on an average year the farmers here experience 10-15% field loss due to rot. We recommend to purchase tubers in multiples. When stock allows, we may provide an extra lower-grade tuber of the same variety if you ordered a single tuber.

Viral diseases and gall

These are difficult cases. By the time the issue is identified, the plant has grown at a location for several months. We know how frustrating it is to find your favorite plant to be diseased, but other factors outside of our control may have caused the issues. American Dahlia Society estimates that over 80% of all dahlia varieties are infected with viral diseases. In our experience, dormant viruses often "shows" in plants stressed by heat, lack of water or nutrients. We promptly cull all suspected plants but cannot guarantee virus-free stock. 

No refunds will be provided for diseased plants, however feel free to yell at us by the email admin@beverly.farm; customer feedback is appreciated because it will help us identify possible sanitation lapses and issues with our own stock or suppliers.
