I filled the flower stand at 380 Business park blvd.

The old flower stand is going to be moved across the street tomorrow afternoon. Thanks to my bro Jon DeL Construction for helping me get that done.

So please go support the new stand!!!! Or if you can share about it with friends! The new space has been hard to spread the word about. So, obviously I need help cause....hahah I am not doing a very good job at it.

If you have any suggestions about how to spread the word about the new stand please let me know 🙌🙌 I am open to ideas.

I’ve been listening to audiobooks while working around 6 hours by myself at the farm…

LETS SEE IF YOU KNOW WHAT BOOK I’VE BEEN LISTENING TO…..

‘Monseigneur, you believe in making use of everything, but this fourth plot is wasted. Salads are more useful than flowers.’ ‘You are wrong,’ replied the bishop. ‘The beautiful is as useful as the useful.’ Then, after a pause, he added: ‘More so, perhaps.’

Okay, do you know????

It’s Les Misérables.

This quote jumped out at me as I was stringing up the lisianthus, as they were sagging from some of that wind that whipped through the farm the other week.

But oh, how true… we need beauty as much as we need salads, and yes, maybe even more.

I have been asked more times than I can count, “Oh, so….you just grow flowers.” If I could put a little wrinkled forehead and deadpan eyes right here, I would.

To some, the work I do has literally no value. They might say to themselves, “If you can’t feed an army. or a table full of little people. What use is it?”

But the truth is a smile on a soldier when he brings flowers to his wife. Or a dinner table with flowers, with the little, dirty faces around it, is the tapestry of life. A woven combination of the reality that beauty must be placed with the practical…As in nature, roses do better when planted with garlic…..

The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life Genesis 2:9
So, I don’t plan to be a Bishop lol, but I do resonate with his view of the importance of beauty and of practicality.

Hey would anyone be interested in creating some art/designs for our 2026 farm t-shirts that would be available at our farms stands?

If your kids like to do art or yourself....or if you have some fun "saying" you think should go on a T-shirt. Let me know in the comments if this is something you would like to participate in.
