Did you know there’s less than four weeks left to get our farm fresh blooms? Our first frost comes mid October! I have Monday availability: $20 To Go Cups, $30 wrapped bouquets, or arrangements (cost varies) - cash only. Text me to reserve and coordinate pick up time. 217-899-3278

I am closing Homecoming orders for October 4th. If you reached out to me and have not heard back, please reach out. I’ve gone through texts several times but still scared I’m missing someone.

A friend just pointed something out - I am not doing Chatham Homecoming flowers exclusively. If your child attends another school please text me if you’d like a corsage or boutonnière. I just have no idea when all the other schools are celebrating 😆 217-899-3278

CHATHAM HOMECOMING: Please read all info below before reaching out to order corsages and/or boutonnieres. I have decided I am not offering bouquets due to our market committment the next day. (I need to save longer stems).

We are utilizing some wholesale flowers to go along with our farm grown flowers as we also have the West Side Market the same weekend 🫠

Pieces will include dahlias, ranunculus, spray roses, or lisianthus as main flowers. We will be using a wide variety of floral accents: eucalyptus, frosted explosion grass, dried starflower pods, celosia, gomphrena, blue thistle, wax flower, etc - really fun stuff! You’ll be sporting flower art 🫶🏼💐

My corsages do not include any sort of ribbon accent/design and will be on an elastic wrist band that has ivory color beads. Bouts will have ribbon wrapped stems.

I will ask for a photo of the dress and/or outfit to assist in how I design your pieces. I can take some requests (like color), but if you need total control or a replica of something else you’ve seen elsewhere: you will be happier if you work with a traditional florist that has more at their fingertips. I design as I go and your piece is finished when my heart is happy about it.

Corsages are $40 and boutonnières are $20. Our bouts have a very easy to attach safety pin mechanism - nobody has to worry about asking Grandma to pin it on 😉 Please look at some of the photos of my recent work to get a feel for how I design.

Can’t wait to be a part of this special day! Please text me to inquire and reserve your spot. Payment is due at pick up, Saturday October 4th 8:30 am to 10:30 am and cash is always preferred + includes all taxes for simplicity.

(If you do not hear back from me tonight, I will respond in the morning - going in order of contact).

Chatham Homecoming corsage and boutonnière order info will be up later this evening. I’d like to also offer mini bouquets, but this Homecoming is the same weekend as our final Westside Market - Springfield. So I’m trying to decide how thin I can spread myself 😆😆 Stay tuned 🖤💐

Hello everyone! As we’ve gotten farther in the season our cooler *really* hates when the temps get above 90. It’s not staying cool enough right now, and we don’t want anything wasted. Need flowers for the week? We’d love to move the existing blooms out of our cooler Sunday so we are going to have $30 wrapped bouquets, $20 To Go Cups, and $10 bud vases available from 10 am to 1 pm on Sunday. These will be cash only transactions and pick up is on our porch. Please text me to reserve: 217-899-3278 and thanks in advance for helping us clear the cooler!

Head over to Sunflour Bakery in Rochester this morning! We took over 5 each: wrapped bouquets, To Go Cups, and bud vases.

Located at 231 Deer Creek and we are taking Venmo transactions only to simplify payment. Our QR code is posted on the flower stand.

Rochester area friends: we are excited to let you know you’ll be able to grab our blooms at the Sunflour Bakery stand this Saturday at 8 am!

Heather’s stand is located at the corner of Deer Creek Road and Hillcrest Road just across from the park. We will have Venmo information posted for payment.

Thank you to Heather for asking us to partner with her and helping grow our business in another town 🫶🏼💐

Hello! I'm Heather, the heart and hands behind Sunflour Bakery 🌻

What began as a simple love for baking in my home kitchen has grown into something much more meaningful-- a way to connect with others, share joy, and celebrate the beauty of real food made by hand. Every loaf, cookie, and scone that comes out of my oven is crafted with care, guided by faith and crafted by hand.

I use traditional methods, simple ingredients, and whenever possible, source locally and seasonally. Supporting nearby farms and growing with the rhythms of each season is my way of honoring creation and community.

I believe that slow, home grown, and home made food can bring people together and remind us of what truly matters. Whether it's a naturally leavened sourdough, a buttery pastry, or a nostalgic treat, my goal is always the same: to bake something honest, heartfelt, and delicious.

The Bakery/Farmstand will officially open on Saturday 9/13@ 8:00
with plans on being open EVERY Saturday (possibly Sunday as well)
I am located on corner of Deer Creek Rd and Hillcrest Rd in Rochester across from the park.

I will pass out flyers here locally in Rochester, tomorrow 9/6 that has more information. There will be a pre order option through Hotplate. I am still getting all that info loaded. There will be Sourdough bread, scones, cookies, bagels, pizza crusts, and much more ❤️This is a self serve, honor system stand. Cash, Venmo and cash app accepted.

Thank you for being here--and for supporting local, handmade food made in faith!

Every time we do the market, I get nervous that nothing will sell. It’s just how I am.

And my mom gets nervous for the exact same thing. She compares these markets to when I tried out for high school cheerleading. She’s nervous I won’t “make the team.”

And today we sold out again, fast. So after my mom dropped off our Culver’s cheeseburgers (tradition) I looked at her and said, “I made the team.” It’s our little thing.

Thank you for helping me “make the team” 🫶🏼 This market has been incredibly fun and today we had the help of our best friends 🫶🏼 We will see you in October, Springfield! In the mean time reach out if you need something for a special occasion, or just because. You’re worth it ☺️

Paislee also had a very successful day with her crochet animals and I can’t thank you enough for supporting her 🫶🏼 It is a special thing to witness.

May the odds be in your favor 🎃💐

We’ve been *very* busy today prepping for the Westside Market - Springfield! We will have roughly double the amount of our normal wrapped bouquets, plus lots of To Go Cups and bud vases. The star of the show is really our pumpkin arrangements though! As you see they will be very limited - they are time consuming to make. We will see you 2-5 pm tomorrow - or earlier 😉

We accept cash and card at the market . . . But cash is king and includes all taxes!

09/03/2025

What do we think, friends? Are we ready for pumpkin arrangements yet? I could bring some to the Westside Market - Springfield this Sunday! (2-5 pm) Come see us! We will have the most flowers we’ve ever brought!
