Four Loves Urban Farm

10/21/2024

We would like to officially share why the farm has not been in full operation over the last couple years…

Two years ago, we purchased a little run-down house on Third Street and started the process of renovating. After two long years of actual blood sweat and tears, we are thrilled to FINALLY share Four Loves Cottage with the world!!! 😅

We are beyond proud to add this new addition to the Four Loves! We look forward to hosting you and getting back to work on the farm!! 💛

Sending out this large wrapped bouquet today! 🩷

Let me know if you need flowers! I have more blooms cut and ready to arrange! 🤗

You guys…. 🥹
These are just breathtaking to me. Look at this lovely arrangement going out to a sweet momma tomorrow.

I have sold everything I have for now. If you’re still interested, keep an eye out tonight. I will be out of town this morning but may cut more once it cools off this evening for last minute bouquets tomorrow. 💐

Thank you to everyone who purchased and those who follow along! Your support means so very much to me! 🩷

We will have a limited number of fresh bouquets ready for this weekend! I will be arranging tomorrow and Saturday, so let us know if you’d like one!

I will have an assortment of wrapped bouquets and various sizes of vase arrangements! I’ll be sorting through my collection of vases in the morning to find the perfect matches for these stunning ranunculus!

Despite growing rows and rows of meticulously planned flowers, some of my favorites will always be the ones my sweet boy picks for me. Those will always have a place in my home. 💙

Update: SOLD! 💐
I have one small ranunculus bouquet that is ready for pickup. Let me know if you would like to give her a home! ❤️

Our first official bouquet of the year went out this morning!! 😍🥳 🎶 Isn’t she lovely? 🎶

04/26/2023

Brought these cuties inside tonight. 🥰
I am kind of liking the first fruits, because there aren’t really enough to sell yet, so we just get to enjoy them ourselves. Not mad about it one bit! 😉

OUR SOIL IS FINALLY HERE!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

By next week, we should have all of our beds ready for planting. 🤗 It’s been difficult to feel behind on this second season also, but beautiful things are in the near future and that is worth celebrating!

Fun Fact: Kristen is the one who designed our logo for Four Loves Urban Farm. My husband and I attended a school of ministry alongside Kristen in Alabama. She has a passion for painting florals and was the first person I thought of to sketch something up.

Check out her page and buy some of her beautiful artwork! ❤️🌸💐

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristen Wesler. Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started? I’ve painted on and off as a hobby for at least a decade. I worked as […]

Educational Post: SOIL QUALITY MATTERS! 🌱

The pepper plant on the left was started on February 10th in poor quality potting soil from a local supply store. The pepper plant on the right was started on March 10th in a high quality mix of soil put together by Benne's Botanical.

Notice the size difference, but also the color difference. Small yellowing leaves versus large, vibrant green leaves.

Moral of the story… spend the extra time and money to start your seeds and plants in high quality soil.

I will be spending the afternoon re-potting these plants into better soil and hope they catch up with the younger plants.

Sometimes on our rest days we build obstacle courses. 🚴🏽

It was a dinner in the garden kind of night for this crew. 🥰 What a beautiful Spring day!

03/23/2023

While watering seedlings, our sweet four-year-old boy left me these flowers on the doorstep so I’d be surprised when I came back. He then handed me a folded up painting of a rainbow and heart, and said “I did it because I love you”.

Excuse me while my heart melts into a puddle! 😭🥹

There is beauty all around us… we just have to sit still long enough to notice it. Here’s your reminder to stop and smell the dandelions. 😉

Please enjoy this gardening blooper… 🫣

Like I said, minimal disturbance. I don’t know if I could have timed that fail any better. 😂

❗️LAST DAY TO PRE-ORDER T-SHIRTS ❗️
We celebrated the first day of Spring with a full day in the garden! Planted over 200 ranunculus in one of our new beds and finished making two more beds!

HAPPY SPRING!! 🌼💐🌸

So glad we rushed to get these beds tucked in last night from the cold! 🥶

There’s still time to pre-order your Four Loves shirt! It’s literally one of my favorite shirts! Ask my friends… I wear it all the time. 😅

The purpose behind the pre-sale is to help raise funds for new equipment and projects this year for the farm. I may post a few inspirational posts in the comments for what we have planned.

One of those projects will be to build a 20 foot long harvest table. This will serve as a gathering place for small events in the garden. 🥹 This has been a dream of mine since last spring! Oh, the possibilities seem endless to me! 🤩

Thank you for following us and our journey of building a little urban farm!! Your support is so encouraging and inspiring! 💕

It’s a bit breezy today but we’ve started building raised beds for the 2023 season!!

03/07/2023

T-shirts are now available for sale!! 🥳 We are opening up for pre-order sales, now through Monday, March 20th. Please visit our website below to grab one of these new, cozy shirts!

As many of you know, we are entering into our second year of business, but in many ways, this feels like our first official year. We are working to launch some brand new elements to the farm. There will be a few new outlets for purchasing our fresh flowers and produce, new opportunities to visit the farm, and hopefully bringing in some chickens soon.🤞🏼 Each t-shirt sold helps make these new additions a reality.

Thank you for following our journey and supporting us!
We truly appreciate you!
