After a whole summer of trying to convince my ducks to join me in the flower field, the little sugar plums are finally coming around.

The first time they made the trek out this weekend was thanks to a running sprinkler. Turns out, a little water encouragement goes a long way!

Ducks can be helpful little farmhands. They love hunting for slugs and other small invertebrates, helping keep some potential flower pests in check. Their dabbling and poking around also stirs up the soil surface as they forage.

Of course, they’ll need to be watched around the flower beds, but I love the idea of letting them do what comes naturally while putting those busy little beaks to work.

Finding ways for the animals, plants, and soil to benefit one another is a big part of the permaculture mindset I’m drawn to. Rather than treating every farm task as a separate problem to solve, permaculture looks at how the different parts of a system can support one another. Even our ducks can play a role in the health of the flower field.

It only took me an entire summer, but our little duckies are finally earning their keep around here! 🦆🩷

I had the chance to make a homecoming bouquet for a family member this weekend! Dahlias, eucalyptus, scented geranium, strawflower, and ageratum, all grown right here at Little Sweet Flower Farm. 🩷

What a season of flowers it has been!

There have been plenty of ups and definitely some downs, but looking back through these CSA bouquets, I’m really thankful for the season and for the people who helped make it happen.

A special thank you to Tricia at Tria Frog Treats and Nea and her team at Whisk & Arrow for giving my flowers a place to land each week. These two incredible businesswomen have helped get Little Sweet Flower Farm flowers into so many more hands around the community. I hope to pass that same spirit along as we get settled into our new location and make more room for other small businesses and community connections. Thank you, ladies. I’m so glad to know you both.

There were plenty of other hands behind these bouquets, too. My mom and mother-in-law stepped in and made deliveries, and Mark squeezed in early morning flower drops before heading to work. It takes more people than you might see to get flowers from the field into a CSA bucket, and I’m grateful for every bit of help along the way.

To all of you who have subscribed over the years, thank you. Next year will be our fifth year of growing flowers, and some of you have been here since the very beginning. Looking back at those first CSA bouquets compared to what I am putting together now...we’ve come a looooong way. 😂

Thank you for sticking with us through the learning curves, the weather, the experiments, the beautiful flowers, and occasionally the “well, that didn’t go as planned” moments.

It sure has been quite a season. Onward and upward!

September was a busy month out in the field at Little Sweet Flower Farm. We’ve been clearing beds, getting seed in the ground, pulling back landscape fabric, and rethinking how we manage our growing space.

We’ve used landscape fabric for years to help manage weeds while trying to build and establish our farm, but have found it can break down over time, limit the movement of water, air, and soil life, and leave plastic behind. So, we’re working to replace it with practices that help manage weeds while also building healthier soil.

My ultimate goal is to keep the soil covered, rooted, protected, and working even when we aren’t growing flowers. Cover crops are a big part of that.

This fall, we planted common oats in our greenhouse and cool-season flower rows. Oats establish quickly, which is helpful with our short fall growing window. They put roots into the soil, help hold the soil in place, and add organic matter as they break down. They’ll winterkill here in Northeast Wisconsin, so we won’t have to fight with them come spring.

We’re also replacing the landscape fabric in our walkways with white clover and cereal rye. The clover stays low and creates living groundcover, while the rye grows more upright and adds another layer of roots and plant material. Together, they give us a way to manage those walkways without leaving the soil bare or relying on fabric.

Our attempts with cover crops haven’t always gone perfectly. Some have worked, some haven’t, and we’re learning what works best for our farm and our growing conditions.

Every season, Mark and I go through what worked, what didn’t, and what we probably made way harder than it needed to be. Four years in, we’ve done a lot. Probably too much. 😂 Now we’re in the phase of pulling back the layers and finessing what we’ve built.

Regenerative agriculture has always been the direction I wanted to take this farm. We’re finally at a point where the systems are starting to catch up with the vision.

A change of pace is coming.
Happy October, friends. 🍂

My mom has told us for years that it is important to stop and smell the roses. After such a busy season, I will be working to take her advice. Momma knows best!

Last night, I intentionally pressed pause and went to a healing circle at Irish Acres outside of New London, hosted by Wisconsin Farmers Union.

I met some really great people who understand the ups, downs, challenges, and rewards that come with this kind of work. We walked the grounds of this beautiful farm, participated in a sound therapy session, talked about farming and life, and ended the evening with a delicious meal.

This season has brought plenty of highs, along with some frustrating lows. I don't always make time to stop long enough to process any of it. I was so thankful for the opportunity to slow down for an evening and connect with like-minded people.

We said no to the riding lawn mower yesterday. Well, he found another way.

Always thinking, tinkering, and finding a way to make things work by himself.

Well...it has been one of those days. Kiddos are sick, Mark has been out of town for work, and our Wi-Fi has been wonky and hasn’t been working.

To bring a little peace to my soul, I’ve been snuggling my sickos, drinking chai tea in one of my favorite mugs, making pancakes with a new discard recipe, and going on a plastic and polyester purge throughout my house.

Gotta make my own sunshine. ☀️🩷

Almost the weekend! Hope you’re having a great Thursday.

This flock of turkeys has been making regular appearances around Little Sweet Flower Farm lately. 🦃

We’re working toward a property where plants, wildlife, and habitat all have a place. 🩷

This is what 545 native plants looks like. 🌱

Yesterday, these beauties left Little Sweet Flower Farm for a shoreline project on Little Lake Butte des Morts.

I’ve been working with this client and NRCS since May to put together a planting that fits her site. The layout was planned with height and placement in mind, with taller plants toward the sides and shorter plants through the center to maintain views toward the water.

Once established, these plants will help stabilize the soil with their roots, help slow and filter runoff before it reaches the water, and provide food, cover, and habitat for pollinators, insects, birds, and other wildlife.

A big project with an even bigger impact.
