Late August farm dump!
Some behind the scenes before we enter our busy wedding season. So many projects still left undone but lots of work under our belts for this season. We have had such a good crop year for foxglove, Canterbury bells and scabiosa! And our number one struggle has been sunflowers… everyone ate them, grubs, mice, and rabbits.
There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes besides picking flowers. Thinking about next year’s plans, bulb + seed orders, tunnels, keeping up on ordering design supplies and keeping loads of buckets clean while still managing the daily workload of our peak season including the very satisfying puzzle that is figuring out where all our product goes each week.
We’ve spent a lot of time growing our wholesale. A side of the business not a lot of people get to see. It’s one of our favorite parts of growing flowers, we are perfectionists to a fault and love sending off tall stemmed bunches to other true flower lovers :) support your local florists who buy local!
The cooler has been kicking ass and making our operation a million times smoother and gives us hope for the future! More room to store blooms and way less stress on us to harvest stems with tight turn around.
In August we had markets and a bloom bar and our summer class at the Duluth Folk School where we dove into garden inspired floral design. It’s always a lot of fun to share and talk about what we are passionate about at our farm.
Aaaand we got hats made locally by Duluth Screen Printing Co. get yours and join the Prairie Rose Club. You can find them at our markets or on the website for farm pick-up/ shipping.
Also we went to Madeline island and had our first overnight getaway together off the farm this season. It’s hard to leave but worth it. Loving this time of year even though we are tired. It feels good to be exhausted by what we love 🤍
