Mara Tyler
California native turned Pennsylvania flower farmer, Mara Tyler grew flowers in small spaces for 20 years in her home state. She now farms in Southern Chester County, on a 12-acre farmette that was historically used for dairy and sheep farming. Fenced pastures with meadowed flatlands seemed perfect for brightly colored flowers, and the idea of The Farm at Oxford was born. The farm's cut flower business specializes in locally grown peonies, dahlias, roses, spring bulbs, and companion perennials.
