Sandy Acre Flower Farm

I think early morning harvests before sunrise might be my new favorite thing.🌅

So thrilled to have a composter on the farm! I’m always looking for opportunities to be sustainable and this sucker checks ALL the boxes. ✔️ What shall I name it? Tell me your ideas in the comments! 👇🏼

Season 2 as a flower farmer started a bit rough but is starting to unfold quite nicely. Summer is just beginning.🌅

Even with the recent netting debacle I’m so very proud of my Lisianthus crop this season and feeling good about my upcoming CSA Summer Subscription.🌸 These beauties will make an appearance in my first Summer CSA bouquets and I can’t wait to share them with you! 😎

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned this season? Don’t skip the netting.🤦🏻‍♀️

My lisianthus were absolutely beautiful and just weeks away from being enjoyed in my Summer CSA bouquets. Then the Texas wind and Mother Nature reminded me who’s really in charge.

I lost a significant portion of my crop when strong winds bent the stems over and pulled some plants right out of the ground. There wasn’t much I could do to save them.

Flower farming has a way of keeping you humble. Just when you think you’ve planned for everything, nature teaches you something new.

But farming is also about hope. 🌈

I’m holding onto the possibility that the plants left in the ground will reward me with a second flush later this season. And the blooms I was able to harvest are getting plenty of hydration and care in hopes they’ll still make an appearance in my first Summer CSA bouquet of the season.

Not every harvest story is perfect, but every season brings lessons, resilience, and gratitude. Today, I’m choosing to focus on the flowers I was able to save and the joy they’ll still bring.🫶🏼🥹🌸

🌸 Here’s to learning, adapting, and blooming anyway.🫶🏼

I’m thankful for all that I have. Are you? ✨

Studies show having fresh flowers in your home can boost your mood, lower stress and simply make you happy. They are a reminder to stay in the present.🫶🏼 I can’t wait to spread joy with my flowers this summer into each of my CSA Members homes.✨😍🌸

My Lisianthus and Dahlias have arrived! Which one is your favorite? My Summer CSA members are in for a treat!😍
