OUR STORY

The love of flowers has always been in my heart coming from a long line of farmers and gardeners. Growing up with a bee charmer, my grandmother could take a seed, place it lovingly into the soil and then speak oh so softly to it so it only had one option: to grow into something beautiful. She had a magnificent influence on my heart as a young girl. I knew -when I was very small- that seeds, and soil were special.

Dave, growing up in eastern Oregon ag country, did what most boys do in our area of the world… he worked harvest. Little did he know that he would someday be married to a flower farmer and need some of those valuable skills that he learned long ago.

When we bought our house on a plot of dirt, we had no idea the journey it would take us on.  We started with all the usual things- fencing was erected, landscaping was planted, grass seed was laid. We had pens built for our many animals that the kids were raising. Lambs grew up and became ewes that supplied our many grand champion babes for area fairs and shows. We added hogs and horses. Bunnies came at Easter and chicks were a favorite in the spring. The field was filled with life, and everyone grew from the many lessons that came from farm living.

After the kids flew the nest, and we were down to a few ewes (and always chickens) it was time for a new adventure. We weren’t sure what that would be. Did we have a plan? Well…no.

It all started with a book, a book about flower farming. And so the next chapter began: FLOWERS. We could bring joy to others through seeds, soil, and blooms! We have loved this journey and can’t wait to see where this season takes us. We are committed to continuing to learn and grow along with all of you.

One thing we know for sure- we are blessed beyond measure, as we bask in all the earth has to offer. We are deeply grateful that the sun shines and the rain pours on our land. Thanks for being here!

In all things good,

P.S. Our hearts ached when we lost our Maggie (Magnolia May - the farm's namesake) in 2021. Shortly after our sadness, we fell in love with our new pups: Dahlia May and Daisy May. Who love the farm and flowers just the same.
