MERCHANDISING
Memories Abound
It seems that many people in Bristol either shopped or
worked at the farm over the years. There is no shortage
of memories of Lydia's sons, Eric, Bobby, Art, and
Johnny (second generation), and, as the generations
continued to pass, Art's sons, Ralph and Stephen Larson
(third generation).
Over the years, the Larson team did everything
from growing and picking strawberries, corn, beans,
pumpkins, and more; winning awards for beautiful
floats in the Bristol Mum parade; and raising money for
the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation and American Red
Cross with haunted houses and hayrides.
Mixing the Old and the New
Now, 100 years later, Larson's has expanded in
many ways, and retired some of the old ways of doing
things. While we are no longer crop farming, my
family is still growing and providing beautiful plants
(annuals and perennials), trees and shrubs for our
large customer base.
One thing that has not changed is the same spirit of
community, family and pride. We have always loved our
customers and continue to spread that love today.

talented, fun loving and creative associate,
Sue Munger.
Landscape design is my specialty, adding
a newer addition to the farm's breadth of

for best bathrooms, and a local Burlington
Beautification award.

100 Years and Beyond
Larson's is happy and proud to be 100 years
old, and we expect many more years to come.
One thing is for sure - one person sure can
make a difference for many. Thank you, Lydia,
for dreaming and making the farm a reality
so many years ago and for the Larson family
carrying it forward to 100 years and beyond.
To celebrate this huge milestone, events are
scheduled throughout the year. On July 12,
Our mission is to
provide creativity and
inspiration, while
servicing customers
with the highest
quality goods
and services in
a knowledgeable,
helpful, friendly and
fun way.
