✨Yesterday at the market I had one of those moments that quietly stays with you.
We were set up alongside other flower farmers, all of us selling something that, on the surface, looks very similar. Locally grown flowers, cut fresh, bundled for people to take home.
And yet the pricing was all over the map.
I found myself thinking about how differently we can value the same work, even when we are growing in the same soil, facing the same weather, and moving through the same unpredictability that comes with farming.
Flower farming asks for a lot. Physically, emotionally, and logistically. There is so much that happens long before a bunch ever reaches a market table.
And pricing always tells a story. Sometimes about what a product is worth, and sometimes about what a farm is able to survive on.
Sustainability isn’t just about how we grow. It’s also about whether a farm can actually sustain itself through an entire year.
For us, the busy season is what holds everything else together. It carries us through winter, supports the slower months, and allows us to keep investing back into the land and the next year ahead.
This month also happened to be our highest sales month to date.
I have been sitting with that quietly. Grateful, slightly surprised, and aware of how much of this only works because there are people who choose to support local flowers in a really meaningful way.
That support is what makes it possible for this work to continue.
Thank you for an incredible month.
