All about us 👩🏻🌾👨🏾🚒👧🏽👦🏻👦🏼
Hey y’all, I figured it was time to do an introduction post before the season gets going. I’m Alli, the face behind Marigolds. My background is in teaching, but when I decided to become a stay at home mama so we could open our home to foster kiddos, I always knew I wanted something that I could do with my kids in tow that would also bless our community and from that bloomed our flower farm. The farm and flower farm are both named after my brother who passed away in 2020.
We live on roughly 70 acres with my parents, and we’re about to start building our forever home 🏠 We’ve been renovating and living in a mobile home for the past two years and are so excited to break ground on our new home soon.
My husband is a firefighter in Alton 🚒 and my only employee. Weeding is his specialty 😂
We have three amazing kiddos, two of our own, and one foster son that you’ll see running around feral anytime you visit the farm. If you’ve been to the farm in past seasons youre probably very confused seeing different kids each time you come as we’ve now had 7 foster babes.
My family owns and operates Post Commons which is why you’ll always see it stocked with fresh blooms during the season ☕️🌻
The farm always has a lot going on with four horses, four dogs, too many chickens to count, two cows, and a few barn kitties. We also rent out our farm for weddings. If you want to know more about that check out the farm Facebook at Ry Dog Farm. The farm is also used for equine therapy and horse powered reading.
Ok I think that’s most of it… I’m sure I’m forgetting something 🤪
