There’s a new farmers market market in town- Seasons Farm Market, located at 1356 Sumas Way, Abbotsford, BC.

Stop by for some fruits, veggies, meats and other local products and make sure you grab a bouquet on your way out!

July was my best effort to find balance in the chaos of business ownership + the hottest season.

I find mid season the worst- the heat makes for early mornings and late nights since flowers can only be harvested in the cool of the day, the heat also makes the blooms come on faster and there’s more flowers to harvest and sell all at once, the pest pressure and disease starts to creep up on you + you also want to savour the beautiful moments of the fleeting summer months. Despite the fast speed that July moved at, it was a good month!

July is our busiest wedding month on the farm and we sent many wedding flowers and DIY buckets out the door this past month.

On the odd days and evenings I took off I went camping, swimming, attended dinner parties and hosted a bloom bar for a combined baby/wedding shower.

I’ve found that I can only succeed in this business if I am intentional about taking time off the farm. I’ve set up automatic irrigation systems this season to make this easier. The flowers will be there when I return, and they always are.

August is a transition time- stuck between summer and the creeping in of fall. There are many more wedding flowers to design, flowers to pick and orders to send out, but at the same time spring flowers to start for fall planting, beds to clean up, and plans to be made for bthe day season. August is probably the biggest month where we’re both deep in the current season and focused on the next season at the same time.

My baby brother and a good friend are also getting married this month and I have the pleasure of doing the flowers for both of them.
It’s going to be a beautiful month.

I wish you all the best in your August endeavours. Make sure you make time for blackberry picking, bike rides, walks with your friends/family/dogs, dinner parties, outdoor adventures, camping, hanging out, reading a book, swimming and everything else that comes with summer. Don’t forget that business isn’t the most important, the people in your life are 🫶🏻

Camping is my favourite thing to do so I like to drag all my friends out to camp with me 🫶🏻🏕️

FLOWER STAND SUMMER HOURS

Our flower stand is open on:
- Friday from 9-6
- Saturday from 9-6

You can also preorder a bouquet to pickup from the stand on those days, well leave it in the farm shop for you with a label!

Flowers dislike the heat though so if temperatures swing too high we’ll let you know that the stand will be closed on our stories. The best way to know what’s on the stand or any updates is by checking our Instagram story. We always post about what’s on the stand on any given weekend!

Want flowers on another day? Our farm is just down the road from the flower stand and we offer farm pickup most days of the week!

THERE’S MORE:
Our flower stand is located beside the Fraser farm shop, a farm stand run by dairy farmers who sell their own farm grown beef and eggs. There’s also a few other local products inside such as honey, tallow balm and more!

Make sure to swing by if you’re ever in the area 😊

Ranunculus “Elegance Bianco”

I had grand plans to record every single stem harvested and sold this season and only one month in I’ve already failed miserably. What I do know is we’ve sold a couple 1000 ranunculus stems from the plants we put in the ground in the fall and winter and it’s been beautiful to see the weddings and events they’ve been used in. What a beautiful beautiful job we have 🌸
