Meet Team Tulip

Keriann

Keriann

Together, Keriann and Jeroen own the largest u-pick tulip events in New England!

Keriann, a self described "green girl" first met Jeroen Koeman overseas and they started an adventure together that is today called Wicked Tulips Flower Farm! Their first tulip farm, Eco Tulips, was located in Central Virginia primarily sold bulbs. Several years ago they moved to Rhode Island to start their farms here and open up the fields to pick-your-own events as well.  Keriann is a native New Englander, so Rhode Island's proximity to family combined with the colder climate made it perfect for growing a tulip farm here in the States, and enabled them to expand what they could and create the delightful experiences so many in the region have come to enjoy each spring!

Jeroen

Jeroen

Jeroen Koeman, co-owner of Wicked Tulips, hailed from a Dutch family of tulip growers. First, he started EcoTulips LLC, a tulip bulb business. In September 2015, Jeroen and his wife Keriann moved from Central Virginia to Rhode Island and started their new endeavor, Wicked Tulips Flower Farm. Starting a tulip farm here in the States was a long time dream of Jeroen's, and this past 2021 season did not disappoint! Spreading the tulip love to 2 states - Exeter, RI and Preston, CT. Together he and Keriann coordinate the many aspects of running tulip farms together, including bulb sales and shipping, u-pick events and special offerings like yoga, dance and music in the fields.

Leah is involved in nearly every aspect of what happens at Wicked Tulips Flower Farm!  Leah started in 2018 at the U-pick event and then kept bugging Jeroen to let her be a part of the summer field team. Leah's background is in city planning and she had considered a career path in landscape architecture, so her job is the perfect combination of planning and logistics, interacting with people and getting her hands dirty in the fields.  #TeamTulip 🌷

"There are so many things I love about working at Wicked Tulips! The employees and volunteers are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The guests that come to visit are so happy and excited to be there. And you are surrounded by the beauty of the tulips that we get to call our office. It is truly one of the happiest places on earth!"#TeamTulip
