our story
Hi, there! I’m Jenny Hauser, the owner and visionary behind Field Trip Flowers. I'm so happy you're here and I'm excited to share my story with you.
My flower-loving journey doesn’t involve childhood memories in the garden, a formal, New York City floral education, or a family farm I worked on. Instead, my love for flowers grew from my passion for small business. In 2015, I was deep into the third-wave coffee scene, helping Martha Stewart launch her café. It was here that I met Laura, a devoted flower lover who sparked my interest in the floral industry.
After thousands of cappuccinos and a year into Martha Stewart's cafe project, we decided to combine our passions and opened Bohaus Coffee & Flowers in Bedstuy, Brooklyn, in March 2016. As our business flourished, I developed a fascination with sustainable floral design, sourcing local flowers, and minimizing as much waste as possible.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, we briefly closed but reopened to a high demand for fresh flowers. With our commercial lease coming to an end and Laura moving back home to California, I made the bold decision to focus solely on flowers, launching Field Trip Flowers on December 21, 2020, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Fast forward to 2023, Field Trip Flowers is continuing to grow even after several restructures and major life happenings. I got engaged, became a proud mother to my daughter, Junie, and remained determined to use locally grown flowers. After a year of searching, my fiancé and I found a home in Warwick, New York, where I’ve started my own flower farm.
In June 2024, I signed a lease for a new studio space on Main Street in historic, downtown Chester, New York. I transformed it from a thirty year old accounting practice into a functioning farmer-florist studio with a corner for retail. We officially opened our doors on August 21, 2024. I’m excited for the future of locally grown bouquets, weddings, and workshops, as flowers have become my passion and purpose. Thank you for being a part of this journey and believing in the magic of farm-to-vase, seasonal flowers!
