Regenerative urban farmers with a freeze dried food line hosting hands on workshops and events
(2)
So much deliciousness in one photo- freeze dried blueberries, strawberries, bananas, peaches local pluots, local figs- YUM! These crunchy mixed fruit cups are custom made for a special event to help kiddos get excited about eating fruit! We love the chance to spread the lovel of local fruit, and show off our freeze dried selection and get kiddos to enjoy healthy choices for snacks! It’s a win win win. 😍
What a whirlwind of a week! We cannot believe how time is flying. At the end of June we were spoiled rotten by the delicious “snack box” that was a full on magical lunch from - we provided lots of local grown flowers herbs and greens both from our farms as well as some gorgeous sweet peas from and some beautiful blue mums and red hypernicum and carnations from as we did a red white and blue themed floral arranging gathering at Tracy’s beautiful shop. We had the best of intentions to have more of the flowers come from our farms, but nature is always in charge and sometimes doesn’t cooperate with requested color themes 😂 thankfully we had a few customers who also loved our local grown blooms in pinks, purples and greens that we brought in to showcase what was blooming in this season. We had so much fun we forgot to take more photos!! Isn’t that a true sign of a lovely time?? We couldn’t help but buy some wine after some yummy tastings and we cannot wait to do it again- but if we are going to keep doing these, we need people who want to sign up!! Let us know if you want more of these in the future 🌹❤️
We haven’t posted in awhile but we have been busy! Shade cloth went up just in time for record temps set (112 degrees!) yesterday, and the Dahlia’s are thankful for the extra protection as we enter summer. It’s so awesome to still have flowers and we are excited for a big event coming up on Monday. Newsletters went out yesterday about an upcoming floral workshop partnership with so check your junk mail folders if you don’t see it in your inbox!!!
What an honor to be hired to provide locally grown flowers for a local women in healthcare/architecture event this week! As a special bonus the attendees will have a chance to win a raffle basket with some of our honey, botanical salts and sugar cubes!
Don’t these flowers bring amazing energy? The smell yummy too. We hope that the attendees are wowed by what we can grow here and recognize that just having fresh flowers in the room (and mocktails made with our local grown mulberries!) is a major mood boost 😍
This super cool Bombylius captured my attention today. So photogenic and fun to watch as every time it would hover all its legs would shoot out like a starfish 😂 it loved the dusty miller blooms
Do you pause during farm chores to do mini photo shoots with the wildlife?
It’s and we had the epic honor of crafting these bouquets for a fundraiser derby party for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society- we love a Charity who is not only doing such important work, but hiring local farmer florists to help them bring their vision to life! Locally grown Dusty Miller is used in these bouquets and we supplied locally grown for those - the client loved being able to feature locally grown ingredients and was already wanting to brainstorm about utilizing more locally grown goodies for next year! ❤️ we can’t wait to see the photos from the event and we hope they raise ALL kinds of money
We had the most FUN day today with our afternoon tea and bouquet making workshop! We brought the locally grown flowers and Tracy brought the most epic sandwiches and desserts and hosted in her amazing boutique! We paired tea from with our botanical sugar cubes and we ate, laughed, smiled, had fun with flowers and everyone made such lovely bouquets! Sign up for the newsletter from so that you get the details and sign up for our next event in late June! business support
We are farming today because it’s Earth Day! But just because we aren’t in the store doesn’t mean you miss out! Use this promo code on ANY of our products (bouquets, gift cards too and of course the food) to celebrate Earth Day by getting local grown goodness from our farms in website is in bio! 🌎🌱🌷
A little late posting but we are here! Come build a bouquet of local flowers, get some locally grown clementine tangerines, try a cookie with either a lemon frosting with rose petals or a mint chamomile frosting, and see our resident goofball helper who has had a blast playing with flowers and putting stickers on everything 😍 we have free seeds for your garden too
We hope you’ll join us this Saturday for our monthly social get together- this month (and every month really) we are celebrating our awesome planet and have created some free seed packets to give out! We will have a few plants and bouquets of local grown flowers available as well as some fresh new flavors and all the plant nerd chit chat you could ever want 😂 As part of our heart for sustainability we are offering 10% off any purchase for anyone who is willing to bring in any unwanted or unused vases they may have taking up space under their kitchen sink or in their garage! We love reusing vases and we will be thrilled to fill them with local grown flowers and keep our costs down for providing bouquets in vases. We hope you’ll celebrate with us!
We are in full swing of spring! The bounty of our forest gardens just gets better and better each year! Most of the time we are halfway through eating something when I think “oh I should have snapped a photo!” So while I don’t document it allllllll, here are some fun shots from this week. We hope your week is starting off delicious as well 😋 if you’ve got a yard that could use some of this magic, we are having a little free get together this Saturday at our shop- official flyer drops tomorrow!! See you then 😉
t’s flower season, y’all! Grab a friend or come by yourself and make new flower friends as we hang out this Friday afternoon for a floral workshop! We will have locally grown blooms and you can learn a bit about bouquet building and have a lot of fun with us! It’s open seating but limited to ten so it will be an intimate and fun experience! Two seats are already sold so if you want to come grab your tickets while they are still available!
Returned from out of town to the awakening of the roses!!! We are looking forward to catching up on all we’ve missed and getting some announcements out soon for events, workshops, and new product launches for the remainder of the month!
Everywhere I’m
The juicer was busy this week and we are so thrilled to be putting it to good use!! We are both out of office this weekend but whoa this week ended with a citrus bang!
We hope that you will come to our event tomorrow evening from 6-8 pm to see your plant nerd friends! We will have flowers for all of your weekend needs!!! Whether it’s Easter flowers or just because flowers, these fragrant and pesticide free blooms will be waiting for you! Flowers are under the Give menu on our website and it’s not too late to order and pick up at our event! We will also be giving some away so we hope to see you there!
The smell is divine. The look is so classic. The are truly having a moment! If you need any, you know who to reach out to 😂 we grow over ten different varieties to cheer up your spring! It’s one of the few non edible flowers we grow, but there have to be exceptions when they are this lovely! Daffodils don’t like to share a vase with other flowers right off the bat. When we use them, we harvest and let them be by themselves for several hours so that their milky sap will stop running, and then do not recut the stems or it starts that sap flow again. But they are stunning in an arrangement by themselves, or if you want to add them to other flowers just make sure they “rest” first.
If you’re like us, you’re thinking “how is April only two weeks away???” 😳 This spring is springing and we have been busy trying to plant and prune and harvest but we miss our gardening, flower, and fruit tree friends! So we thought why not just host a little get together at our shop? And that got us excited. We hope you will get excited too and come hang out with us! We will use some of our products to create some mocktails and treats to share, and we will have some products available if you’ve missed that we didn’t create formal open hours this month, but mostly we just want to get to see y’all and catch up a bit. We hope you can join us- it’s free so please come and say hello. We’ll raffle off some more adorable bee habitats, have some free seeds for swapping, and who knows what else we will come up with over the next ten days!
We hope everyone enjoyed a safe and happy St Patrick’s Day! Had to shout out one of our favorite green flowers- Bells Of Ireland! Fun fact this plant is not native to Ireland at all! But we love it anyways 💚 it coordinates with everything, has a minty fragrance, is edible, and provides a stunning shape in a bouquet. Are you growing any green flowers? If so we would love to hear about them!
We were so thrilled to receive a request for two bouquets: this brilliant customer wanted one for herself and one for a birthday gift for a friend! (We love how she thinks) If you happen to need any locally grown, pesticide and herbicide free flowers for yourself or for anyone else we’d be honored to help you fulfill that need! We can usually accommodate quite quickly same day or next day so don’t be shy about last minute requests
We loved getting to meet other local small business owners at the Local First Arizona Mixer in the this week! You know we had to bring locally grown fruit and flowers with us! It was a blast and we were so thankful to Just Roughin' It for hosting and to Local First Arizona for organizing and putting it all together. We are so happy to be members of
Last month we had posted some regular open hours, but we haven’t done that yet this month. If anyone was wondering why(???)It’s because this is peak harvest season and so we are having to find the delicate balance between being in multiple places- we can’t be on the farm and in the shop at the same time! Since we grow 90% of our products, we still need to dedicate lots of time to farming. So we might be planting, harvesting, or freeze drying when we aren’t at the office. We welcome any appointment requests if you’d like to stop by and pick up a product. We can also sell you fresh flowers, fresh produce and herbs and more! So please do not hesitate to reach out and schedule a time to come and shop. We are working hard to make sure that there are more products on the way!
Hi! Happy weekend 🥰 if we haven’t met, I’m Kristin! This summer I will have been living and growing food in Arizona for twenty years! I can’t believe it. Time is amazing and crazy and intense and wonderful. Throughout those twenty years I have had a full life and no matter what chaos was happening I always came back to the garden for solace, grounding, peace, physical movement, and a place to think. I have grown many different plants during that 20 years: traditional veggies, hundreds of fruit trees, herbs, a few ornamentals, and a lot of flowers! One of the things I love the most is that I’m always learning. Another thing I love about this lifestyle is the people that I get to meet- because people who are stewards of the earth are just darn good people! Caring, kind, generous with their time and help and knowledge and some of the most awesome people you could ever hope to know. I am surrounded every day by beautiful souls and beautiful plants and I am just so humbled and honored. I am not always great about posting and sharing, and I’m still figuring out how to navigate the balance between being a weird mix of a farmer, a small business owner, a mom, a wife, and trying to squeeze time in there for being a more active member in my community. It doesn’t always go smoothly but I wouldn’t trade it for anything ❤️ if you’re still reading this: thank you. Your interactions here are appreciated. If we haven’t met in person yet I hope we will soon! And for those I have had the opportunity to know I thank you because you enrich my life. I hope that something I have done whether it’s plant advice, a class, a bouquet, a design, a snack or meal from my yard has been a blessing to you.
How did you spend your leap day? I hobbled around doing irrigation repairs, tending to seedlings, pulled a lot of weeds, and some cleaning. I definitely overdid things on my still-healing ankle. But the weather was so perfect. My son lost his second tooth, and Melissa is in Texas awaiting the imminent arrival of grandson #2! I loved getting whiffs of the blooming daffodils and hyacinth…such an intense and lovely scent. If anyone needs snapdragons or a local grown bouquet let us know because we have lots of lovely things blooming! And if anyone wants to do a little hands on gardening with us, keep your eyes ready cause we will be posting our March calendar tomorrow! Leave a comment with what you did today- plant related or not! We’d love to hear about it
Spring is springing, y’all!
Happy weekend everyone! The light through these calendulas was so captivating 😍 I absolutely had to share it with yall.
Special last minute announcement- we are hosting a permaculture design class today and they will be touring the forest garden this afternoon. So we are here, but class is actively happening! So if you stop by, I’ll be able to help out quietly in the back of class but I wanted to let yall know we are closing early today for that tour. If you’re curious to learn about permaculture, that’s our jam and we would love to tell you about upcoming classes and workshops
A mountain of citrus zest from yesterday that smelled as good as it looks! When we use our commercial juicer; we cut the price of juicing in half if you’re willing to wait while we harvest the zest. But it’s not that long of a wait since we have a machine for that too! Our customer from yesterday kept saying the most wonderful things: “this is beautiful” or “this is so cool, you just saved me hours and hours of work” and we love hearing stuff like that! We zested and juiced 3 five gallon buckets worth of locally and organically grown Meyer lemons in just under an hour.
Today is a much needed farm day, although it will be a slow farm day. Can’t wait to get outside and take some updated photos as spring is springing around here!
We are here until 4pm today! Bee house winners, those bees are counting on you to come and get your bee houses! (The style shown also has planters so you can plant some herbs or flowers right next to the little bee houses how cute is that)
We are working “bee-hind” the scenes to put together some really exciting upcoming classes and workshops, so stay tuned! In the meantime if you’d like to do any citrus juicing, or floral workshops send us a message and we will “bee” happy to put something on our calendar for you! 🐝🐝❤️🐝🐝

We hope that our strawberry rose mocktails, honeys, florals tubes and samples sweetened your evening because seeing all of your lovely faces and restocking your stashes was our absolute pleasure. We cannot believe it’s almost April- we will definitely get another one on the calendar soon! #gratitude
Getting some long overdue time planting today!!! We have big rain in the forecast (🤞🏼) and also an upcoming freeze! So the clock is really ticking to get the rest of the lemongrass, basil, dahlias, roses, and zinnias harvested. Here are a few photos I couldn’t resist snapping before I got my hands in the soil. Happy Monday! #plantingbeforerain
I love when I get to watch the hummingbirds and bees enjoy ”zinnia row” 🥰
Still recovering from the overwhelming awesomeness of the yard tours this weekend! I have farm chores, doctors appointments, and then hope to get on the computer for the first time in a week today! Amidst all of the intensity, it’s important to have teeny tiny moments of calm, with a baby duck! Enjoy 💕
No matter where you are buying your fruit trees right now, my guide for peaches will get you everything you need to know to care for that tree for its entire life! Pruning lessons! Fruit thinning lessons! A planting guide to make a full peach tree guild and more ❤️ pictured: bare root peaches at the urban farm pop up nursery
I would like to thank everyone for the unbelievably kind outpouring of comments and messages about my poor 🐝🐝. I am so blessed to be surrounded by a community of love and support! Hopefully this little video of the first Lady Emma Hamilton bloom of the year will end the week on a high note. Nature is resilient. Nature teaches us not to give up!
