FELICIA ALVAREZ
MENAGERIE FARM & FLOWER
Nestled at the base of the Sutter Buttes, in the heart of the Sacramento Valley Felicia founded Menagerie Farm & Flower specializing in garden roses, specialty flowers, French prunes, assorted stone fruits, nuts, and rice on over 100 acres of beautiful California farmland. She is a third-generation farmer and entrepreneur who has been farming for over two decades.
​
Her favorite memories as a child were tending to her grandmother’s farm garden filled with fragrant garden roses. Her love of flowers made her an avid gardener and in 2014 an accidental rose farmer. Through her specialty farm nursery Felicia hand selects unique bare root rose plants and potted garden roses to share seasonally with garden lovers across the United States.
​
Felicia shares her passion for nature, art, science and farming with educational outreach — teaching her love of the land to both beginning and experienced gardeners and farmers from across the country. She makes her home on the farm with her husband and two young sons.

"Roses are my love language. I believe you can raise beautiful, field-grown flowers with an artful attention to detail. Enjoy growing the kind of flowers you remember from your grandmother’s garden, roses admired for fragrance, elegance and character."
