Hip high by the end of July! Is that how the saying goes?! 🤪

These lisianthus are insanely tall! Stem length is always a flex in the cut flower world 💪 most blooms are running on the short end this season due to such a wet season, but these lisianthus are living their best life under the protection and heat of the high tunnel….now just patiently waiting for them to bloom for you all to enjoy! 🤩

A new farm addition - we now have a sign!!

Although we aren’t far from Hwy 71 (2 miles east of Long Prairie), many flower friends have trouble finding our farm thanks to not so accurate GPS systems 🙃

We can now tell them to turn in at the “back forty” sign and you’ll be at the right place.

A shout out to my sister Heather Kleve for making the logo portion 🤩

A wonderful morning with wonderful people with wonderful helping hands to make it all happen after a crazy week.

I love being able to open up the farm to our church community and offer a space for some joy and conversation. The weather threw us for a loop this morning 🌧️, so we crammed inside and took a flower field walk once the sun started to shine. ☀️

Allow yourself to be a beginner 💐

The past two days I spent my day with other flower growers at Sunny Mary Meadow with Jeni The Floral Hustle to delve deep into providing wedding flowers for our flower friends and future couples in our communities….

It was great to learn so many techniques and talk flowers with others florists and growers from all over the U.S!

I am far from where I want to be, but have so much joy in creating and providing flowers for special occasions…especially weddings 😊💐

If only social media had a scratch and sniff 💐

The mix of rain, sunshine, and blooming flowers has made this space so fragrant….wish I could bottle it up!

I might not be able to do that, but I can do the next best thing….fresh mix bouquets from the farm available this Thursday and Friday for on farm pickup! 💐

When a bride shares photos of their special day! 🤩💐😊

One of my favorite ways to share fresh flowers is via our DIY Bloom Buckets 💐

These bulk buckets of flowers from the farm are a wonderful way to experience fresh blooms in an affordable way. It also offers an amazing opportunity to play with flowers and get your family and friends together to arrange beautiful vessels for the special occasion.

Whether it’s your wedding, anniversary, bridal or baby shower, consider DIY bloom buckets for your next special event!

And thanks to this wonderful bride for trusting Back Forty Flower Farm for their big day! 💐
