WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS OF THE YEAR!
My heart is SO full! Last night, Harvested Blooms was honored with the Women-Owned Business Award at the 2026 Chamber Business & Community Awards, and I honestly can’t put into words how much this means to me. When I opened our doors a little under a year ago, I never imagined this little dream would grow into what it is today. 🤍
First, thank you to everyone who nominated Harvested Blooms and to the Devils Lake Chamber of Commerce for this incredible honor! It is such a humbling reminder of how far we’ve come in such a short amount of time.
To the Devils Lake community, THANK YOU for welcoming Harvested Blooms with open arms and helping us thrive as a small business downtown! Every order, visit, share, recommendation, and kind word makes a difference. Your support means more than you know, and I’m so grateful to be part of this community.
To my husband, Kyle Gratton thank you for always supporting me through every new business adventure I dream up! Thank you for helping behind the scenes, listening to my endless ideas, and standing beside me through the exciting and overwhelming moments. I couldn’t do this without you, and I’m so thankful I get to chase these dreams with you by my side.
If you’ve ever stopped into the store during an event, you’ve most likely met my AMAZING mom! Mom, Melinda Bischoff-Voeller, thank you for all the hours you put in, the countless ways you help, and for always showing up when I need an extra set of hands. To my entire family, thank you for supporting me through every aspect of owning a business. I’m so lucky to have you all in my corner!
To my amazing group of friends, thank you for jumping in to help whenever life gets a little crazy! From lending a hand at the store to listening to my ideas and cheering me on, your support means the world to me. I truly couldn’t do it without you!
One of the greatest gifts of this first year has been the friendships and business relationships we’ve built along the way. From fellow small business owners and vendors to customers who have become friends, I’m so grateful for every connection, collaboration, and opportunity that has come from opening these doors.
This award may have Harvested Blooms’ name on it, but so many amazing people have helped make this dream possible. Thank you for believing in me, supporting this little business, and helping us grow. We are just getting started, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Forever grateful,
Lauren 💐🫶🏼
