Hi Flowerers!

The end of the year is upon us once again and with that comes some reflection of the accomplishments we have had on the farm and in life. After this year with some of the obstacles that sort of side tracked a lot of our initial plans, I think both of us are pretty pumped to hit 2026 hard. Please don’t be surprised if you don’t see us outside of our normal farming ventures in the coming season. I will be sure to keep posting our itinerary in case you want to know where we will be vending and you are always welcome to arrange a private farm visit with an on-farm flower activity.

Both of us are pleased with what we have done in this past year. Here is a little recap:

A pollinator patch was planted on a half-acre of our lower field. A Chronolog photo station was installed to capture the transformation.

We had our second annual Earth Day Celebration in April.

Farm infrastructure blossomed with the acquisition of new metal barn doors on the Warehouse, drip irrigation, a greenhouse, and a cargo trailer that is so close to being a proper flower cooler plus gutters and water catchment tanks are now donning the Flower Studio.

There are 979 tulip bulbs in the ground, several hundred new daffodil bulbs and over a hundred allium bulbs planted.

Fifty bulbs of garlic are in.

So many amazing direct sales were made to folks like ya’ll! Here is one of the last of the year:

In less than a year, I had a diagnosis of breast cancer and came out the other side without it, both of us forever changed by the journey.

We reached 200 email subscribers on our weekly newsletter list and gifted so many fun gifts to our monthly winners, including pinecone ornaments, wreaths, and bouquets. Some were mailed, some were hand delivered.

By tag-teaming, we completed the Kentucky Farm Launch class at the University of Kentucky. We learned so much and met so many cool people that we now consider friends.

Community Farm Alliance came and hosted an agrotourism class at our farm which included representatives from CFA, American Farmland Trust, NRCS, KCARD Fleming County Extension, Kentucky State University and the Kentucky Black Farmer’s Association.

The first ticketed events were amazing. We hosted a sound bath and wreath making workshops.

Our cultivation space was completely revamped from 3 large horseshoe plots to 16, 30-foot beds that are mostly sitting under cover crop right now.

Our soil and seedlings have met the likes of feather meal, gypsum, and fish emulsion which we believe they really enjoyed!

There are over 100 new perennial flowers, shrubs and trees on standby to be shipped and planted at the farm in the coming weeks. We are also guilty of ordering some annual flower seeds! There will be more cosmos this year.

Perriee and I were featured in a little five-minute documentary about our farm.

We constructed a very nice herb drying rack, just in time to knock it off the 2025 project list.

Have a happy New Year everyone. Here’s to a clean slate and to reaching for the impossible!
