Sunborn

Ownership

Hans and Lisa Larsen, a husband and wife team from Wisconsin, own and operate Sunborn Gardens, which Hans inherited from his parents and took over in 2012. This is independent, family-resident ownership.

Local Sourcing

Sunborn grows the freshest locally sustainably grown flowers, and they prioritize avoiding hothouse flowers and work with what was locally in season as much as possible. The vast majority of their product originates from their own farm.

Community Involvement

Sunborn has been selling specialty cut flowers at the Dane County Farmers Market since 1975, and founder Carol initiated Fair Field Flowers wholesale cooperative, founded the UW Beginning Flower Grower School, and presented at MOSES and local garden clubs. The business has deep roots in Madison-area agricultural and community institutions.

Local Workforce

Customer reviews consistently praise the professionalism and dedication of Lisa and Hans, with plans mentioned to hire additional help to improve response times. However, limited public information is available about formal workforce practices or employee tenure.

Revenue Retention

The business operates from the family homestead in Mount Horeb, with Hans and Lisa living in Brooklyn, Wisconsin with their three children. As an independent family business with a physical location, farm operations, and employees, most revenue stays within Wisconsin rather than flowing to distant corporate owners.
