My journey with flower farming started when we moved to our small farm in Pierce, Colorado in 2019. My husband and I had the goal to know more about where our food came from and began a small cow-calf operation to produce beef. As he became more involved in the cattle, I wanted something to call my own.  Spending most of my time in a hospital setting as a nurse, the time outside with my hands in the dirt was a type of therapy. The garden beds were built and I began planting  summer produce for our growing family.  I decided to try a few cut flowers to have a home-grown arrangement on my kitchen counter all summer long. The beauty that would come out of the ground and into my home started this passion for both the process of planting and the creativity of putting colors and textures together.  Each year I would convert another section of my vegetable garden into another flower bed until I had to grow my produce in buckets. Anything that is not used in fresh flower arrangements will hang to dry and create beauty in colder seasons.

My passion for soil health came as a result of learning more about the sustainability of farming the land and rotational grazing for our cattle. I believe that we have a responsibility to care for the things that God has given us and invest in the generations to come. As we grow, the goal is to focus on perennial plants and trees that support native wildlife and pollinators and rebuild the soil by putting nutrients back into the earth.

Our name, Farmhouse Flowers, comes from our first project when we moved to our property. We restored our house originally built in 1907 and love the history that we are a part of.
