Had a wonderful time at the farmers market this weekend. I can't believe the weather we are having for this time of year. Thank you to everyone that visited our booth. My sister was happy to know that another one of her wreaths had sold. This year has been great and frustrating with the flower's. Extreme rain storms has caused some of my flowers to struggle while other's have thrived. My good old dependable varieties have been slow to produce but my spring crops were so productive that I could not use them all or been able to get them all picked. I have great plans for next season. With all of my planning for next year it got me thinking, what is the best way for me to find out what my customers want? So I ask you, what would you like for me to have at the farmers market? What products or flower's would you like? Some of our popular products have been decorated pumpkins, witches broom, bouquets, and wreaths. Any and all suggestions will be considered. I am looking forward to reading your replies. Thank you for take the time out of your day to write a response.
P.S. I would love to see pictures of your gardens, bouquets, and wreaths if you would like to share.

I will have some sunflowers at the farmers market this weekend. Unfortunately for me I will have to give up some of them to the birds. Found this lovely nest attached to about 3 of them. She wins, I love nature and I hope my cat or the wild ones running around our area do not get them.

Iam so sorry. I forgot to thank you all for coming out and supporting me and my sister in the rain at the farmers market. I was not expecting to have that much business with it raining. We almost didn't come. I am amazed. Thank you so much. I also enjoyed the conversation we had with every one of you. I love to share my knowledge about the flowers and a lot of you asked my sister a out her amazing work with the dried flower wreaths. She is going to town trying to get more made. Hope to see you all at the next flower market. Have a lovely week.

I am so thankful and humble to the amount of people that showed up at my booth this Saturday. I am at a loss of words. I want to thank Andrew my husband, Dawn my sister, and her daughter Iris for all of their help. Dawn your work with my dried flowers is amazing. I hope we can replenish the supply of dried flower so you can make a bunch more. Those tree wreaths, 💖!! They gave me some ideas. Thanks again.

This year I will be selling at Goshen farmers market in Edwardsville. The market is on Saturday from 8-12 starting on May 11. I am also looking for locations to do some pop ups during the week for the weekends I can not attend Goshens. If anyone would like to have my booth in their store for an event please reach out. Currently I have an abundance of specialty tulips and daffodils ready to go. I loved meeting you all last year at the market. I have the best time talking to each of you about the flowers. Please reach out if you are in need of some flowers. Looking forward to the season.

I'm having a wonderful time these last 3 days at the ASCFG conference. There are amazing products and flowers that have caught my attention here. I have met so many wonderful fellow grower I hope to stay in contact with, and i hope to in the future bring some of these wonderful flowers and products to my booth at the market. This has been just an amazing event.

Wow, what a weekend. I want to thank everyone that came by our tent at the farmers market this weekend. Everyone had such nice things to say about our dried flower works. The pumpkins were flying off the tables as well as our fresh flower arrangements. My sister worked really had on all of the wreaths as well as some of the pumpkins and fresh arrangements. Her daughter Iris was also such a help. We still have some of the pumpkins and wreaths left if anyone is interested let me know and we will see what we can do. Thank you all again for a wonderful season. I enjoyed and appreciated every minute of it. Have a wonderful holidays and I can not wait for next year.

Here are some more pictures of what we will have at this week's farmers market this Saturday. I did not get pictures of everything. We will have some more witches broom that were very popular at the last farmers market we were able to attend. I hope to see everyone at the Goshen farmers market. On a side note, we decided to make the dried flowers on top of the pumpkin removable so you can save them for possible using next year. Or so you can put them on any pumpkin of your choosing.

Highland cow. Just returned from our trip to Scotland. One of the gardens we went to visit had these lovely cows down the street from them. The owner were nice enough to feed them next to the fence so we could take some pictures. Isn't he cute! I will be working on doing some editing of my pictures and hope to have some available for purchase soon.

Sadly I will not be at the market this morning. Our cat was injured and I had so spend yesterday at the vet with her. Hopefully I will be able to attend the last market of the season. I have other commitments that will prevent me from attending the next few markets. Until then we will be working on some fall/Thanksgiving pieces. Have a great few weeks.

Wow, what a farmers market. Thank you to all of you that came to my booth. We could not keep up. It was so much fun. My sister and her daughter yet again hit it out of the park with her dried flower work, and Iris for decorating the front of my booth. Several of you stood at our booth until she was done with your witches broom. Wish we could of made them faster for you. Dawn was able to finish one last one just as the market closed so I have one left. PM me if you are interested. I will try to get a picture of it in the comments. All of your compliments make my heart melt. It is because of you guys that I work so hard to grow more flowers each year. Since all of the feed back on the witches broom were so positive, I am planning on growing a hole lot more for next year. Thank you again for all the support.

Working on the last of my witches brooms at Goshen farmers market. Come get yours before they are all gone for the season.
16/09/2023
I harvested all the flowers I could find that were ready. I am also hoping the bring dried flower bunches. Several of you requested them at my last market. Let's hope the box fits in my vehicle with everything else.

I want to thank everyone that came to the farmers market this last weekend. This one was a lot of fun. My sister and her beautiful daughter came out and helped me again. Dawn loved decorating the witches broom for me. I am currently trying to dry the last of them that were in my field. Hopefully I will have them ready for purchase soon. I will have to keep these in mind for next year when planning out my fields. Thank you to everyone that purchase an arrangement from me and my helpers. I can not wait to do this again next year. I am already starting to get my beds prepared for spring 2024.
09/09/2023
Harvesting flowers for our farmers market tomorrow. I hope to see you all there. Let's hope this time the rain stays away for the market. Cloud cover would be nice.
26/08/2023
Well we were just getting started with selling at the farmers market today when they called it do to weather. I still have everything available if you would like to give me a call or message to make arrangement to purchase an arrangement.
25/08/2023
Starting to harvest all the flowers and weird stuff I have growing currently in my garden beds. I will have some unique witches broom sticks available for your front doors or photo with you cute little witches when they are all dressed up in there costumes. Two colors red or green. I hope to see everyone at the farmers market Saturday.

So I did a little experiment with an arrangement I made in a class I took this year. Working on my technique. I loved the flowers I used so much that I could not throw it out when it started to fade. So I took the bouquet and dried it in my grow room. Some of the colors faded bit it still looks pretty good. What do you all think? Are dried flowers something you would like me to start offering?
08/08/2023
As I sit here trying to put together my seed order for next year it occurred to me that I should ask my customer what colors they would like me to have more of next year. Definitely planting more orange and deep purple. Also are there any flowers you would like to see more of? I would like to see sunflower, dahlias, lisianthus, and asters. Looking forward to next year already. I have lots of plans I just hope I can get them done.
05/08/2023
Having fun at the farmers market. Come see us here until noon.
03/08/2023
Hopefully the rain will not keep us from having a wonderful time at the farmers market Saturday. Hoping to be there weather permitting.
