A shared heritage
Watching things grow has always been part of us. The growing seasons of the Midwest defined the patterns of both our families from little on up. The promise of spring, the labor of summer, and the thanksgiving of harvest has surrounded us with a predictability and stability throughout our lives. Long-time friends, we have come together in continuation of the heritage we have been handed in a new way. With our mutual love of flowers and the joy in sharing them with others we have began the venture of flower farming. It is our desire to share the beauty, bounty, and blessings of our prairie land with you!

Jenny & Kayla
A shared title: Farmer
|
Kayla is a Missouri native married to an Illinois farmer. Together with their five children, they enjoy and explore homesteading, cattle choring, egg collecting, syrup tapping, cheese making, produce canning; you name it, they will probably try it. It is her sense of adventure that cultivated the idea of becoming part of the flower farmer movement. The detailed oriented one of the bunch she is the planner of all things field related as long as it's not too techy.

Jenny has never moved off her family farm. She is an elementary school teacher and enjoys marking locations off her travel bucket list. The socialite of the crew she enjoys connecting with others in the flower world but would rather not deal with the farm rooster. She loves to cut flowers in abundance and share the joy that can be found in them. It is her voice and face you often see online and in person.
