Flower Farming
Hello fellow flower lovers! Welcome to Grass Mesa Flower Farm - est 2021. My flower farm is located just outside of Rifle, Colorado. I currently do not offer any public events or visits to the farm - I bring the flowers to you! See ‘Events’ and ‘Shop Flowers’ below for information. I grow a variety of flowers for seasonal cut-flower bouquets. I find a peace with my hands in the soil that helps me connect and re-center. I employ regenerative gardening practices to increase soil health and help sustain the well-being of all the creatures that make their habitat in and around my farm.
So what does regenerative mean to me? It means, though I love the flowers that grow above the surface of the soil and all the pollinators I get to enjoy, I make choices about how I care for the land based on what I want to happen beneath. I want all the worms, microbials, and fungi to flourish! Helping to create and sustain a thriving soil ecosystem is one of the best ways that I can give back our Earth. And the flowers are amazing! I love that flowers supply a means to connection - by a tangible gift, through a memory or scent, or just a natural connection to our local land. Oh, the simple joy that flowers can bring!
- love local flowers -
I use soil blocking to start all my seeds. Soil blocking allows to me to start 1000’s of seeds in a small space, reduces use of plastic, and grows healthy non-root bound seedlings that I plant directly out in the farm.
