I’m Stephanie Bennett, the proud owner & operator of Echo Rock Flowers in Westerly, Rhode Island.  

oUR story

After conceiving and helping to open/run the Malted Barley restaurant with my husband, Colin, in downtown Westerly in 2011, I shifted my focus to raising our two boys.

As the years passed and the demands of raising little ones eased – I began to feel the itch for what would be next.  

Things began to fall into place when I started asking myself the right questions:

Where am I happiest when I’m not with my family or friends? Where does time slip away, even during the messiest or most mundane tasks? In the dirt. And what fills me with pure, giddy joy? What do I love to grow, pick, arrange, and share with others? Flowers. Because if there’s one thing this divided and often cynical world could use more of, it’s flowers.

So I began to set my sights on one day growing cut flowers for market in the fall of 2017. In the winter of 2019 I decided to officially launch Echo Rock Flowers.

To date we are growing on about 1.3 acres of combined land and we are thrilled to work with The Westerly Land Trust where most of our crops happily grow at the Barlow Preserve (449 Westerly Bradford Road).
