Firefly Farm is a locally owned brick-and-mortar store outside of Rochester, Minnesota. We carry an extensive selection of paper-crafting products, gifts, and seasonal decor. We also host unique virtual events and ship to customers around the world. One of our favorite virtual events is our Creative Crate - a crafting experience for scrapbookers and cardmakers. Each Creative Crate features guest teachers, gifts, inspiration, and more.
