I have been putting this off for a while now, but as we are approaching the New Year, it's time to announce a big change coming to the farm this year.
After six beautiful years of growing fresh-cut flowers and connecting with our wonderful community, we are peacefully announcing that we are taking a long rest from growing flowers for sale at Aurora Rose Flower Farm. This has been an incredible journey, and we are beyond grateful for the love and support we've received from all of you—our loyal subscription holders, beautiful brides, and the lovely farmers market friends we've made.
Although I am sad that we are taking a break from growing, I feel more at peace than ever. Mom and I have talked so much about this decision and the more we talk the more we know it is the right time to take a break. This past year was challenging and we've never wanted the farm to become a burden or something we resented.
Life is always changing. When I started growing the flowers I was single and childless, praying for the day that things would be different. That day is definitely here! We welcomed our third child a couple weeks ago, Lily, and we've decided now is the time to step away from the farm to focus on our growing family.
In this new chapter, I’ve decided to fully embrace the role of stay-at-home mom and dedicate my time to being present for my children during these precious years. I also have to take into consideration everyone's health. Mom is still healing from the car accident she was in last year and even though Adie is doing well, the reality of her autoimmune disease is that her symptoms can flare up at any time and I need to be available for that.
While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye to the farm and the flowers that have brought so much joy to our lives, we are deeply thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of so many weddings, celebrations, and special moments over the years. The memories and connections we’ve made will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Thank you for supporting us, trusting us with your floral needs, and for allowing us to be part of your lives. It’s been an honor, and we will forever treasure the experiences we’ve shared with you all and hopefully when the kids are a little bigger we can pick up where we left off.
If you have any questions or need assistance with final orders, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our hearts are full of gratitude for everything you’ve given us during this journey.
With love and appreciation,
Madalyn and Cathy
