Prior to becoming a full-time farmer, Erica spent nearly 20 years in the pharma industry as a toxicology researcher focused on oncology. Over the years, she grew Scarlet Sunrise Farms alongside her career, selling dahlia tubers, cuttings, plant starts, and seasonal produce. What began as a side venture has now grown into a full-time passion, as she takes the farm to the next level. She brings the same attention to detail and care from her scientific background into every aspect of the farm.

Quinn loves helping in the garden, especially when it comes to flowers. He enjoys choosing blooms to hybridize, always curious about what new combinations he can create. His favorite dahlias are Hart’s Bonnie, Karma Choc, and OMG.
