Adeline McCarthy, 1955, in her field, tending peonies

Family Owned since 1933

Adeline's Peonies was established in 1933 by Adeline McCarthy and the family has been raising peonies continuously since that time. Our fresh cut peony flowers are very large and beautiful.  The farm is located in Toppenish, Washington, in the heart of the Yakima Valley. The fourth generation of McCarthys now grows thousands of peony flowers each year, with a large assortment of colors and varieties.

During the depression Adeline started trading peonies with the American Indians for salmon and huckleberries. Their current day customers are still members of the Yakima tribe who purchase peonies to decorate the graves of their ancestors for Memorial Day as well as the larger public who purchases the flowers for Mother's Day, Memorial Day remembrances, and May/June weddings.

Grandma Adeline's love for peonies was passed to son Roger, grandson Pat and great-grandson, Jay McCarthy, who manages the peony fields today with his dad Pat. Their original field has expanded to encompass a new field for wholesale sales in Sunnyside, Washington, just 20 miles from the original peony field. To this day, 200 plants from Adeline's original plantings are still producing flowers for customers, over 80 years later!
