Top crops: Since this is my second year delving into extensive flower cultivation, I'm still learning what my favorites are. However, I'm particularly excited about growing snapdragons, zinnias, lisianthus, feverfew, and celosia – these were some standout blooms in 2023.
A proud farm moment: A highlight in my farming journey was when, in my very first official year of flower farming, the local chamber of commerce reached out, inviting me to be a vendor at our community's farmers market —a move I had contemplated but was hesitant to commit to initially because I wasn’t sure if I could meet the demands. However, feeling the need to establish my presence in our community, their contact turned out to be a game-changer. Participating in the market was not only a smashing success but also an amazing experience, allowing me to forge meaningful connections and get to know incredible people in the community. I'm grateful for an opportunity that turned into a rewarding and memorable chapter in my farming venture.
Something exciting happening in 2024: This year holds a lot of excitement for me, with two standout highlights. Firstly, I'm thrilled to be a part of this new collective. Additionally, the anticipation builds as we embark on doubling our growing area and significantly broadening our perennial selections. It's a season of growth and collaboration.
Other services offered: I provide CSA subscriptions, bulk buckets, custom small event arrangements, and, with fingers crossed, upcoming on-farm events!
