Sunset Flower Farm is owned and operated by Linda and David Rau. Both are members of the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers and Farm Bureau of Cape May County.
Linda has a degree in Horticulture and has been working in the flower industry since the age of 12. She was a designer for many years in flower shops, simultaneously working in greenhouses, until opening a shop in her home town of Westmont, New Jersey. The shop was known as Loose Cuts. Beginning in 2009, she worked at Archway Programs as a careers teacher for special needs students, running a greenhouse and a flower shop. She employs all of this previous knowledge, experience, and professionalization in the management of Sunset Flower Farm.
While Linda brings the floral expertise to the project, David contributes his many years of experience in the management and running of a working farm. In his youth he worked on a farm, raising cattle and growing wheat in Oklahoma. He is experienced in farm equipment, repair, and farm operations. He is retired as a professional sales manager and his marketing skills compliment his knowledge in managing the farm.
It’s hard to say what flowers we love the most because our farm is like a painted canvas with the forest as our background and the varieties of the flowers our focal point. We grow beauty and inspire creativity by the bunch.

"We recently held our wedding at Sunset Flower Farm, and it was beyond expectations! Linda was absolutely amazing to work with. She organized every detail including our beautiful flowers. All of our vendors coordinated with her effortlessly, and she was quick to answer all of my many emails. The farm is picture perfect. From the barn to the sunflower fields it was a dream. The workers were extremely helpful, and made the day run smoothly. We are beyond grateful to have experienced our wedding there, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for the perfect spot for their wedding."

"I had the pleasure of catering a wedding at Sunset Flower Farm this weekend. What a beautiful location! It isn’t often you come across such great pride like the owners here have in their space and the overall event itself. They were present the entire duration and assisted my staff throughout the evening. The barn was immaculate, clean, and updated. The setting outside was an absolute picture perfect backdrop. On behalf of John Claude Exclusive Catering we thank you for sharing your space with us and your support to make the couples wedding a dream day!"

"Beautiful farm, beautiful flowers. The owner, Linda, was great! She explained the peonies to us. We also purchased a few fresh cut stems to enjoy at home. She even gave us a large stone for our daughter to take home and paint as a souvenir. Overall great experience!"
