Did you know that our bouquet package vouchers can be used at our farmers market booth as well as our farm stand? We had so many customers this year that were gifted bouquet packages that said it was their favorite part of the week coming down to pick out their bouquet! That makes our hearts so happy to hear! Does someone you know need a hint for a last minute gift? If so, tag them below! 👇👇👇

🚨Our BIGGEST sale of the year is happening NOW!🚨

Now through the 25th, you can join our seasonal flower subscription delivery for $35 off!!! Give someone who has EVERYTHING a gift they will look forward to! Our locally grown bouquets are full of unique and hard to find varieties that you won’t find in a grocery store! We spend months and months planning our crops and tending to them long before we harvest any flowers. This is a true labor of love for us and we are so excited to be able to share it with you! When you purchase a flower subscription you are supporting our small, first-generation family farm, our community, and our planet! We can’t wait for you and your loved ones to join us!

We’ve almost finished filling up our new raised beds in the hoop houses with fresh organic compost so we can tuck in all the pretties you see here! These blooms need a period of cold to develop strong enough roots so they can bloom in early spring before warm temps cause them to go dormant. Hopefully we will have most of them planted by tomorrow evening!🤞🌱✨

Well…our household was hit by sickness last week, so we are playing major catchup! Our plan was to have lots of dried wreaths for you this week for gifting, but we won’t be able to work on those until we get our last plants into the ground over the next couple of days. We do have bouquet packages available, which everyone LOVED this year! These are perfect for the person who likes to come to the market or farm stand and pick out their own, and you choose how many bouquets you want to give. We still have flower subscriptions available, as well, and those are delivered to your door 6 weeks at a time! Both come with cards for gifting, just let us know if you want to pickup the cards instead of us mailing them. We are hoping to have some dried wreaths put together by the weekend🤞We finally got our raised beds built in the hoop houses today so tomorrow we’ll be filling those up! What a great feeling it was to be back outside today!

Anyone recognize these crazy kids?! This was 11 years when we first decided to try our hand at growing for market! Little did I know how much my last minute decision to cut some peonies from our yard would change the trajectory of our future. As soon as I unpacked my little jars of peonies from the car and started walking through the parking lot people were stopping me, buying them all up before I even made it to the booth! I think I only charged like $4 a jar😆That’s when we knew we were on to something.

Since then we’ve been through so much! The lessons we’ve learned along the way (and are still learning) have been harder than these untested farmers could’ve ever imagined, but they have been invaluable!

We’ve experienced so much love and loss over these past 11 years, and the flowers have always been there to save us somehow. Through chronic illness, the loss of my dad, the pandemic, and so much more, our safe haven has been out in the field, watching our hard work and love unfurl amongst the bees and butterflies. Grounding us. Bringing us home.

This business allows us to do something good for our hearts, and for those who chose to follow along with us. It allows us to be close to our family, who can pop in whenever they feel like it, and who knows to check the back field if we aren’t up front. It gives us the complete honor of being able to work from home and care for my grandpa who’s taken care of everyone else his entire life. It allows us to share a bit of reprieve with our community from the constant noise and chaos that is our world these days.

If you were to tell these crazy kids that they would be running a flower farm featuring a flower subscription delivery service, a massive market booth, tuber and bulb sales, and dried wreaths, I don’t know that they would’ve believed it. But I thank God every day that we have found our people (YOU ALL!) It’s because of you and your constant support and encouragement that we are able to continue share our dream of spreading love through locally grown flowers. What an honor❤️🙏❤️

Our most physical/cold/wet/muddy job of the entire year is almost done! We got over half of our dahlia tubers washed today (about 1,000) and should be able to finish up by tomorrow afternoon! Even though we are covered head to toe in rain gear, cold water still finds its way into our boots, and gloves. We’re pretty sure it comes from the inadvertent blasts to the face when you hit the tuber clump just right with the hose😂 Thank you to Shannon for helping us with this massive undertaking! Send us warm & dry thoughts as we finish up!🙏🙏🙏

11/23/2024

Gratitude just doesn’t seem to be a strong enough word to describe how we feel. We’ve come to know so many of you through our markets, social media, and our flower subscription sales. We feel so honored to be able to bring our flowers into your homes, humbled by your kindness and graciousness in continuing to support us, and excited to see what next season brings! Thank you all so much for kicking off our flower subscriptions for 2025 with such a bang! You are helping our little family to live out our dream of working deeply meaningful jobs surrounded by nature, giving back to our beautiful planet, and sharing stories of the human experience both here on this platform and through the flowers that you take home from us. Gratitude is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much love in our hearts for you all. Thank you, for growing along with us. We love you guys!❤️❤️❤️

Ya’ll, we’ve been a little MIA the last few days on social media because we took a couple of these rainy days to put up our Christmas decorations. We are trying hard to make more time with our family a priority. There’s always an endless to-do list, especially this time of year, and sometimes we have to just put that aside to make some memories! So here’s a happy hello from Odie in his new favorite spot by the Christmas tree on his Bushel and Peck pillow!

So many people ask us if what we are planting now will survive and this is why! Thank you to my sissy for coming out to help us this weekend, she’s hilarious and always helps make daunting chores more fun! Are you all familiar with fall planting? #fallplanting #coldhardyplants #flowerfarm #flowerfarmer #decaturillinois #mtzionil

The kiss of frost on our field is the bittersweet finale of our 2024 fresh flower growing season. I walked around giving every thing I could see my most sincere gratitude and goodbye until spring. What a beautiful way to witness death and rebirth on the most intimate and all consuming level. Nature has been our heart and soul, therapy and retreat, joy and heartbreak, and teacher and spirit guide for so many years. Each year we feel more and more connected. Thank you all for letting us share this with you. We could not be more grateful🙏❤️🙏 #frostmas #flowerfarm #firstfrost #dahlias #dahliaseason

Even thought we’ve never tried them, it does explain why we describe them as delicious! Lucky for you, we are passing on these pretties for dinner and you will find them instead in our mixed bouquets at Central Park Farmers Market from 8am-noon tomorrow (Saturday!) #dahliaseason #dahlias #flowerfarm #illinoisflowerfarm #fallflowers

It’s a hot one today and we happen to be harvesting “Hot Biscuts” amaranth along with a red variety (I can’t remember which one🥵) We are still harvesting just as much for our farm stand on Saturday as we would for market, so we hope ya’ll can make it out! Did you see our last post with all the info?#hotbiscuits #amaranth #heatwave #isitfallyet #locallygrownflowers #flowerfarm #flowerfarmer #illinoisflowerfarm

This weekend we will have a full booth at the FARM STAND ONLY! We will NOT be at the farmer’s market downtown this Saturday as we are getting the farm ready for some special events coming up!🤫 We will have someone around if you are paying with cash and need change. We hope you all can make it out during our usual Saturday hours from 8am-noon! We will post the address on Friday evening. The Central Park Farmer’s market will still be going on, but will be in a different location between Flora Gems and Murphy and Co. due to the downtown music festival that is going on. Thank you all for continuing to support us! We will be back at Central Park next weekend! #dahlias #dahliaseason #farmstand #flowerstand #illinoisflowerfarm

A message for you all in honor of my dad’s heavenly anniversary today.😇👨🏻😇 @lindsayaustinstorm

Harvesting for tomorrow’s Central Park Farmer’s Market (Saturday) which is going on from 8am-noon! #zinnias #zinnia #flowerfarmer #flowerfarm #illinoisflowerfarm #flowerstand #farmersmarketflowers
