Meet the Farmer
Amy Ockerlander
If you give someone flowers, the whole world lights up in a smile. It’s a cliché but it’s true. Now imagine that you grew those flowers yourself, or you know exactly where they came from and the person you give them to is someone you deeply care about. Now it’s an act of love, acknowledgement and appreciation. If you are the receiver, it’s a comfort beyond measure and truly delights your senses. Knowing where the flowers came from and that they were grown with this in mind makes the event all the more meaningful. This is no small thing but isn’t a huge production either. That’s the loveliness of it.
And so that is what has brought me to life as a flower farmer. Nothing makes me feel better about the world than sharing the beauty and magic of flowers with others. And not just any flowers but local, grown in concert with nature and with care for the community that they are planted in. Picked fresh from the earth and delivered just a few miles from the farm. I am so delighted I get to share this bounty with my neighbors in this world. Thank you for choosing to support me, your local flower farmer. My hope is that you enjoy these flowers as much as I have growing them.
