FLOWER SEASON UPDATE 💐
We’ve had more than our fair share of heat and crazy weather this summer, but thankfully, the zinnias and so many of our other flowers are still putting on some beautiful blooms.
This is our third year as flower farmers, and I feel like we’re finally starting to find our rhythm with the different parts of the season. There’s something really rewarding about doing something you love, year after year, and slowly beginning to understand it.
You start to notice things you didn’t notice before. You begin to know when it’s time to plant, when it’s time to cut back, when the flowers are going to take off, and when the season is starting to change. Sometimes you don’t even realize how much you’ve learned until you find yourself doing something almost instinctively. A lot of that knowledge comes from simply being out here and paying attention.
Of course, farming isn’t always easy for me. Farming with a handicap and low energy means I have to approach things differently. There are days when I look at everything that needs to be done and know I simply don’t have the energy to do it all. Sometimes the work takes longer. Sometimes I have to stop, rest, and come back to it.
But I’ve also learned that there is a lot of strength in doing what you can with what you have. There’s something incredibly rewarding about planting a tiny seed and months later seeing it turn into a beautiful flower. Even walking through the field and realizing that something you’ve been working on is finally blooming the way you imagined it or harvesting buckets of flowers, loading them up, and taking them to market knowing that those flowers came from our own little piece of land. Those moments are victories for me. They remind me why I started this journey in the first place.
I think one of the greatest joys of farming is that you never really stop learning. You spend years working with the soil, the weather, the plants, the bees, and the seasons, and slowly, little by little, you begin to understand the language of the land.I’m still learning that language. I’m still learning how to be a better flower farmer, how to work with my energy instead of against it, and how to appreciate the small victories along the way. I think that’s what makes this journey so special.
We may not accomplish every goal we set for ourselves. We may not always get everything done exactly when we planned. But there is still so much beauty in what does grow. So for now, we’re going to keep growing, harvesting, saving seeds, learning, and enjoying every bloom we’re lucky enough to get.
if you’re new here, I hope you’ll follow along and get to know the story behind our flowers. There’s a whole lot more to this farm than just pretty blooms. We’re passionate about growing flowers, working alongside nature, protecting our little piece of land, and sharing what we grow with our community.
when you purchase a bouquet or arrangement from a local flower farmer, you’re not just buying flowers.You’re helping support the person who planted the seed, cared for the plant, worked through the heat, harvested the blooms, and put them together by hand.
From our field to your home, thank you for being part of our journey.
