West End Tiny Farm

A tiny urban farm built on a big dream. Growing microgreens, cut flowers, edible blossoms, and more!

Oh hi! It’s me again, smiling behind the many blooms that I trucked down to the Wednesday market alongside my microgreens. I’ve got a dozen jar bouquets ready to take home , or to bring to the office to surprise your co workers. (Or to just make them jealous) Come on down and say hello 👋 We are here until 1:30.

The July air is sweet with aroma, because this year is an insane year for stone fruit! My apricot tree is currently dropping fruit like it’s going out of style - but even more exciting is the bounty of peaches that are just starting to ripen on my peach tree.

There is easily a hundred pounds of fruit on it - so heavy in fact that some of the branches have snapped. I did my best to prop them up and strap them to the fence, but I have a feeling those branches won’t survive the winter.

It’s kind of a bittersweet thing ; we finally got fruit on the tree, but the tree produced so much it has almost killed itself under the burden of so many fruit. Oh well, we certainly aren’t complaining about the juicy peaches about to fill our fridge and pantry!

Tons of flowers are making their appearance in the garden right now! So far Ive been picking almost everything that blooms- which means I’ve been able to send multiple buckets out the door to customers for events. I was also able to take bouquets to this past Wednesday’s farmers market on Victoria street, and had the pleasure of some really good chats with some elderly floral enthusiasts who stopped to admire and compliment the flowers. I just love how flowers can connect people who otherwise may not have struck up a conversation.

Today was a great day at the Kamloops Farmers Market! I had quite a few customers pre-order their selection of microgreens in a reusable/returnable container, which really helps cut down on single use plastic waste.

My very first hen, Peach. I picked her out of a wooden box at a feed store 5 years ago with her sister Ginger. Today, she crossed the rainbow bridge. She was such a gentle old girl, with the cutest little purr of excitement that she would let out anytime I’d bring snacks. She will surely be missed here at the tiny farm! Thanks Peach, for the wonderful eggs and your fun personality.

Today is microgreen harvest and packing day for the Kamloops Farmers Market, which is happening tomorrow from 8:30-12:30 on St.Paul Street. So, until late tonight I’ll be busy clipping away and listening to something poppy to keep me movin! (There’s definitely a little Dance Mix ‘96 up in this grow room today)

Ok…ok…. I know I don’t even have flowers blooming yet - but I have to announce that PUMPKIN PLANTING has commenced!!!

Last year’s pumpkin flower arrangements were such a hit that I knew I had to bring them back for 2025. I have planted about 10 different types of gorgeous ornamental pumpkins in my grow room. They will be planted out in a few weeks, and will steadily grow alongside my flowers until they are ready to harvest and stuff with floral fun at the end of October.

And the fun doesn’t stop there - for those interested in joining me for an evening of hands on creativity, I will be offering a
⭐️ PUMPKIN CENTREPIECE WORKSHOP⭐️ where you will be able to build your very own magical floral pumpkin arrangement to dress up your thanksgiving or holiday table.

Space will be limited - so if you want to get on the workshop invite list ahead of the crowd, DM me for details!

I love seeing what creations are made with my humble little microgreens. This delicious avocado toast was whipped up using a pack of my spicy mix (radish, arugula, cress and mustard) by the super lovely , whom I have had the pleasure of meeting at the Kamloops Farmer’s Market! I wish my avocado toast looked so pretty ! (Mine ends up looking like a toddler was in charge😆) Thanks for the shot, Geralyn!

Microgreens are happily growing in the grow room here at West End Tiny Farm. These will be harvested for the upcoming Kamloops Farmers Market this Saturday! I’ll have plenty of microgreens available, including these tasty little pea shoots! Come on down to St.Paul street this Saturday from 8:30-12:30 and check out all the market fun!

I am only a few short months away from being able to cut stems again. Reminiscing over photos of last year’s spring snapdragon beds, the excitement is definitely building!

I have fully gotten myself back in the groove of planting, tending to, and moving seedlings from the grow room to the green house.

Besides snapdragons, I have dahlias (of course!) rudbeckia, yarrow, scabiosa, celosia, zinnias, asters, feverfew, coneflower, sunflowers, mint, ageratum, didiscus, and many other gorgeous varieties growing away for this years bouquets and arrangements.

Did you know you can order your microgreens from me in reusable containers? As a way to reduce your plastic waste, I offer a “reusable container program” at no extra cost for those who get delivery or pick up from me on a regular basis. How it works is like this: you place a recurring order with me (either one week or two week intervals) and your greens are packed into these sturdy plastic take out containers. Once you finish your greens, just give the container a rinse and have ready for me to exchange during your next order. If you are wanting to get delicious and nutritious microgreens on a regular basis, send me a message for more info!

Today is going to be a very busy day in the grow room!

I have a TON of microgreens to plant for the upcoming Kamloops outdoor Farmers Market on April 19th! Yep - that’s right - our market is moving back to our amazing outdoor location on St.Paul street in two short weeks.

I am so excited to see all of my market vendor friends and be part of the local goods action for the 4th year in a row.

(I’ll be honest, I’m not looking forward to the chilly mornings but I AM looking forward to freshly brewed ☕️ coffee from my pals .croft to warm me up!) Mark it on your calendar, it will be a great way to spend your Saturday!
