Coyote Acres Homestead

Coyote Acres is our family’s home and flower farm. We offer spring, summer, and winter flower subscriptions.

We also make arrangements for special occassions or events and are a vendor at the new West Side Market in Springfield.

We are in the process of finalizing the details for three weddings next summer/early fall. Having all of the information this far in advance helps us plan what to grow with your wedding in mind. It also gives me time to move around my work schedule at the hospital.

The best time for our flowers in 2026: July - late September. While we will have more flowers this May and June we are not comfortable committing to any weddings during this time (unless you simply need a bridal bouquet) as we want to get a larger spring season under our belts first.

We also do small events: baby showers, bridal showers, birthday celebrations.

We are so thankful for the nice day! We got 125 more peonies and several hundred other perennial bulbs in the ground today! I could never, ever do this without him 🖤🫶🏼💐

I wanted to take a moment and formally thank you all for not just a great (sold out) spring subscription launch, but for your support in general. As I look back at 2025, we had a great year, tons of support, got to be a part of so many special moments in your lives, and sold a lot of really beautiful flowers.

Yesterday we prepped our fields for what is (potentially) our final peony installment, got all of the dahlia tubers in storage, and worked on soil improvement. We will plant peonies next weekend when it’s not 35 degrees and windy 🫠. Peonies are always our biggest investment and when I thought about how we have another 125 to get in the ground - that would not be possible without you all. We’ve continued to grow the farm because you’ve continued to support this little idea I had one day. These peonies should out live us all and be beautiful for generations to come. How cool is that?!

I have a lot of ideas brewing for 2026. We will be growing even more next year (I haven’t told Chet yet that I need another section of the backyard, so don’t mention it 😆).

I’m hoping for a few private you pick events, arrangement classes, and I will be offering “Garden To Go Boxes” around Mother’s Day so long as seed starting is successful. So if any of you want to try your hand at growing beautiful flowers, maybe ask for a raised bed for Christmas 😉 The flowers we grow healed me in parts that I didn’t even know were broken. It’s time to share *that* joy with others.

Here are just a few of my favorite photos from this year!

We are about 24 hours out from the Spring Subscription launch. Friday. 7 am. Santa’s coming to town! 😆

Spring subs will look different this year. Again, we are *not* growing tulips so the subscription will not start until peonies start to bloom in May. Think of it as a “late” spring subscription. This frees us up in the future to take our kids on spring break trips and concentrate on seed starting for summer - both for our fields and for you! We are planning “Garden To Go Boxes” that will be ready around Mother’s Day (more on that later).

This will be a five week subscription and like all spring subs in the past, it is weather dependent as to when we start up. Spring subscription holders need to be able to have the flexibility our pick up schedule demands. We work around the weather + Morrisa’s hospital schedule. We will have two pick up locations: On Farm in Chatham and The Crafted Stag in Springfield (Thanks Hammer Fam!). If you purchase a subscription as a gift, we don’t send any communication until April.

This spring we are growing *a lot* of flowers that are new to us. Send us all the good vibes! We are excited to switch things up a little!

Just popping in to remind you to set alarms for Friday at 7 am. I think I am limiting Spring Subscriptions to 35 spots. It’s gonna be so good!!

Spring Subscriptions go on sale Friday, November 7th at 7 am. Sharp. This is a five week subscription.

2026 will look a little different as we have removed tulips from our farm. I stuck to my word and didn’t order a single bulb. I shocked even myself. Tulips have a very small harvest window in order to get them stored correctly. It’s simply too hard to manage that on top of our other full time jobs. We also can’t keep taking PTO the entire month of April wondering when they will bloom 🙃

So spring subs will start out with peony bunches and whatever else we can get to grow. We are trying our hands at “cold hardy annuals” this year that we hope bloom along with peonies and throughout May/June before summer annuals ramp up.

And we are tossing another 125 peonies in the ground, which will bring our peony fields to over 500! Peonies are a huge investment. Thank you for continuing to support the farm so that we can continue to grow 🌱

It was a good run! Thank you to every single person that subscribed, picked up extras, supported us at the market, said our name in rooms we weren’t in, recommended us to friends, and liked/commented/shared our posts. We appreciate you more than you know!

Spring Subs go on sale Friday, November 7th at 7 am! I just put over 400 plants in the ground specifically for this subscription. It’s gonna be GOOD!

(Summer subs go on sale in January 😉)

Don’t GHOST us! 😆👻 See you at the 2025 Harvest Sip and Shop tonight from 4-8:30 pm at Seed Life!

If all our flowers sell out tonight, we are closing the chapter on 2025!

What a beautiful flower farm, right?! 😆 The first successions of all of our flowers have been mowed over and fresh black dirt has been brought in. Our later successions are still standing, but just like all the corn left in the fields - they are tired and ready to be done. Your final chance for our flowers is Saturday 4-8:30 PM at the Harvest Sip and Shop Event at Seed Life! I’ll link the event below in comments. It is a wonderful event full of 25+ women owned small businesses. For someone like me it’s a last hoo-rah but for many others it kicks off their busy holiday season. The weather looks rainy for Saturday but luckily this event is INDOORS! You can purchase a ticket ahead or at the door: includes drink of the night, appetizers, and a small gift. Bring your friends and have a ball! We hope to see you there.

It would have been easier to end our season last week, but our daughter pushed us to do one last event (and we didn’t get a frost yet). She’s bringing some fresh crochet animals - including dogs!

Let’s go out with a BANG! Shop small!
