Preserving the harvest. Dried flowers. Home. Body. Food.

Butter gave these a once over before they headed out the door.
It’s been a big week of flower deliveries over here. Anniversary, bereavement, thinking of you, and some get well soon blooms all found their way into local homes.
Did you know I can add on to your flowers with a gift too? Salve, coffee, or a pastry from the local bakery- you tell me!!
Wednesday 4-6: I’ll be at with my *new* pink tent 💅🏼💖
And some pink flowers too. Maybe more. Who knows? If I can get my act together we will have a bit of a bloom bar too. Tbh, I’m moving slow after the car accident yesterday. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck, even though technically it was a Land Cruiser 😂 The body shop says to be prepared for the Honda to be totaled.
Can’t wait to see y’all outside in the streeeeeet!! Happy farmers market week!
It’s been a while since I’ve done my 🖤Weekend Update🖤
Summer is summering. The zinnias are zinning. The hoppers are eating too many plants - the ducks have been moved in to help with this situation. And I’m tired. Hahahaha. I actually took part of the afternoon off, and made a real dinner.
💖 I might only grow peach/coral/blush/pink flowers next year
💖 The only good grasshopper is a dead grasshopper
💖 The chicks are 10 weeks old now! Starting to see who’s a rooster and who gets to live
💖 The girls have been busy
💖 I wear my shorts every day and the pockets get used for all sorts of weird s**t
💖 First big raspberry harvest here
💖 Cupcakes for my non-bio daughter’s 15th birthday. Huckleberry filled gluten free vanilla with edible flowers on top
Session ✌🏼 of the Summer Subscription starts tomorrow. Come join me at every Tuesday for flowers! It’s pretty great.
Sunshine daydreams ✨☀️✨
Problem Salver 💖 The salve made with my *famous* rosehip oil. If you’ve got a problem (especially eczema) this will salve it 😉
But more importantly, let’s talk labels. This is a 1oz tin and I get the stickies from ✨ They are the best quality and the best value for round labels!!
I’ll share this in my stories with a 25% off discount code for your first order. Try them out! I love the quality and ship speed.
The stand is stocked! Well the fridge is. All the other stuff is sold 🫠
This afternoon and Thursday will be big restock days for me. I’ll be at the on Saturday, and after that the stand will be FULL again!
Stop on by. Luci is gratin around the stand today. She loves to get a head scratch and an apple or carrot. Whichever you have in your car will do 😂
Name something better than fresh raspberries from the garden. I’ll wait.
I planted these in fall of ‘21 and they’ve just been… meh. NOT THIS YEAR THOUGH!!!! They’re coming up everywhere because I was DUMB and had panted them in my perennial garden. This fall@I’ll be digging many of them out and relocating to a *new* raspberry patch.
Goodness.
I’m always amazed by just how pretty these things are!
Edibles are on their way to 🙌🏼 if you haven’t tried the deli, let this be your sign. Truly, a local business.
How many times will will I say (or how many times have I already said) “I think this is the end of the anemones for a little while” 🤷🏼♀️
It’s a mystery. What I do know is that I’m sick of the grasshoppers eating what’s left of the anemones before I get to cut them 😂
Raw milk ice cream has hit the stand!!
This batch is cultured cream, maple syrup, egg yolks, collagen powder, and salt. Up next is cinnamon, vanilla, and chipotle!! A spicy sweet Mexican chocolate inspired flavor… without and chocolate 😂
It’s supposed to be 90°+ for the next ten days, at least. Cool off with real food and no weird stuff. Okay, definitely some weird stuff. But no artificial anything 🙌🏼 Ube will be on deck after the Mexican inspired treat 🍧🍦🍨
Just fu***ng around in the garden and kitchen… haven’t found out if it worked or not.
Attempting to use plants to give some fresh cheese a golden hue. I’ll keep ya posted. It was pretty even if it didn’t work.
On the day I lost Myra, I was walking in spots and paths I don’t normally go. I was with her most of the day and things stood still. I started seeing chamomile in places I’d never seen it before. And no idea how it got there. Like not a clue.
This morning was my first one milking Juniper and not Myra. When Myra was done with her grain, she’d always turn around and get right in my face with her cereal breath and give me a little kiss on the nose.
There’s so much joy and beauty of flowers around here, and many animals to bring joy to parts of the day, but I’m just still sad. And will be for a while probably. Last night Luci was being so sweet with Charley 🥹 I wonder if Luci knew that Charley lost her mommy. Those two have never bonded like that- it was like how she treats Maebel.
If you see me in the next week, know that I may just start crying. MeMy left a big hole in my heart.
Today was a hard and very sad day.
Myra didn’t get up for milking and breakfast this morning, and when I went to go get her, I think she was already in organ failure.
I still tried everything in the book to help her turn a corner. Talked with the vet and he confirmed my suspicions. I spent most of my day at her side. And when I had to go to the vet’s office with my other goat, my neighbor stayed with her until she passed.
It’s always sad losing animals, but what they don’t tell you when you sign up for farm business is that when you lose a good one, you still have to continue on and take care of all the other animals, and the flowers, and the customers.
I am heartbroken. Myra had the best jibbles and was truly the sweetest girl. Only a little bit naughty. And boy howdy, she had the biggest teats this side of the bitterroot river.
Thanks for loving Myra as much as I did. She was the best old gal. She lives on with her kid Charley- they have so much in common- from being avid fence climbers to loving head scratches. Charley is a little sad and confused without her mommy around, and frankly so am I.
Best time of the year 🫶🏼
I like how the world works out sometimes. The life choices and turns and people that led me to + 🤍
How is she so dang dreamy? Golden hour hits different on the west side of hwy 93 😍
It’s really feeling like summer around here ☀️
Had to upgrade the vase to handle these massive peony blooms.
Anemones 🤍🩵💙💜
Total stunners 🥹 Those blues are almost unreal.
I’m attempting a fun experiment of perennializing anemones in my tunnel. Keep your fingers crossed and we will be seeing them even earlier next spring 🤞🏼
Sweet bouq for a wedding this past weekend.
If you’re looking for a floral designer that works within your budget, 👋🏼 hi I’m Aimee and I can help you with that. Elopements. Backyard ceremonies. And, of course, 250 guest events too!
Thank you for this cute pic!!
The garlic is garlicking.
My perennial and u-pick garden is coming along. It’s full of weeds (peep that massive thistle!) but other than that, I’m loving all the volunteers coming up, the perennials getting bigger and bigger, and the holes to fill with more plants and more color!!
This rocking chair was here when I moved in, I just relocated it to the garden. Give a swipe to see what I discovered today! I heard one lady yelling and went over to investigate - then saw movement in the tall grasses. Went o we to investigate and NINE EGGS from my Buff Orpington idiots 😂 They stopped laying under the rhubarb, so they just needed a new hiding spot Hahahahhaa
Summer wreath! 👍🏼 or 👎🏼
This will mostly maintain the bright green while it dries! Clasping pepperweed has a leaf structure reminiscent of eucalyptus with the prettiest seeded tips.
Delivering sunshine and smiles 🙌🏼
One of my values, in life and this business, is figuring out how to create less waste. To lessen the environmental impact and massive footprint that imported flowers leave.
One small change that’s made a huge impact is reusing vases. It’s not often that I get matching sets. And they’re often colored, oversized, or even oddly small. But you know what, they all have a home with me! And eventually, a home with the recipient of each flower delivery I do.
One less case of vases getting manufactured. One less box full of packing material to protect these shipped glass things. One less delivery truck on the road. One less empty box to dispose of.
What it means for me? No exact standard of vessels and floral arrangements for flower deliveries 🤷🏼♀️ until I have racks upon racks of vases, of course!!
Want to be part of the solution? Bring me your vases and pint/quart size jars (clean and labels removed), and in exchange I’ll send you home with flowers. Each usable vase or jar gets you $2 in floral credits 🙌🏼💐✨
I’ll be at tonight with flowers and room in the car to take home vases. See you there?
Happy Birthday 🌺 Isn’t this a bright and cheery arrangement!?!?
I made a new best friend with this delivery hahaha She had GORGEOUS rhododendron bushes outside her home!! I got the full tour and got to see all her gardens- including an impressive shade garden full of ferns!!
Need to send flowers to someone? Let me help!! New friends and garden tours not necessary 😂
The first Tuesday of the season at the was funnnnn! Nice to see so many friendly faces again.
See ya next week with more bloom!
5-6 Tuesdays at ✨
If you want in on the flower fun, snag a subscription or just show up! Extra bouqs are always available.
Welcome to edible flower szn 🤌🏼
Sneak peek at tomorrow’s flowers look 👀

Where do flowers go in your home?
Mine go behind the kitchen sink, and above the toilet. Somewhere I’ll see them multiple times a day 😂

Walking a hungry hippo of a cow just might be crazy 😜 Luci goes back and forth between this paddock and the big pasture daily for a week, then hangs out in the big pasture while this grass is growing. And the goats spend the day in my backyard eating grass and weeds. Until it’s all mowed down. All this extra work may seem crazy, especially when I could just feed them some hay and be done with it. But- it takes less time to walk the cow twice a day than it does to mow that area down! Although… Luci is kinda bossy and sometimes gives my arm a big jerk 😂 She’s worth it though. Spoiled girl. And her milk shows just how spoiled she is. This past weekend she gave three cups of cream per half gallon jar of milk!!! I’m crazy, but the animals are happy.
Just added to the stand! These hot temps are *perfect* for making yogurt and labneh 😘🤌🏼 The stand is stocked up, and more will be headed out as the yogurt strains. Labneh is great on sandwiches, on toast with jam, or as a dip for summer veggies from the market!! Full of probiotics and good for you fats, this cool treat is sure to make everyone happy!! And it’s CHEAP. Seriously. Good food and easy on the pocketbook. You can’t afford not to try it!!
Piggins and Piggie Smalls enjoying a nice warm bowl of milk on these 90°+ days 🤣 My friend Katy pointed out that if a human was making these sounds during eating, she’d slap them. But animals eating is so cute 🥹 This is your reminder to get a drink and stay hydrated!!
Juniper figured out that when I call her name, there’s usually food involved 😂 It’s too hot to move fast, but watermelon helps keep her hydrated and happy! Me too. What’s your go-to in the heat of summer? I love eating half of a watermelon for a meal hahahaha I’m sure Juni would like that too 🍉

Friday afternoon at the farm ✨ Birds Chirping ✔️ Flowers in a gentle breeze ✔️ Maebel mooing about something ✔️ Have a great weekend, my friend.
NO BABY GOATS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO 🤦🏼♀️ This girl is a wild child!! My guess is that she went from the dogloo onto Lucille’s back 😂 She was out for milking time with mama, and eating hay with the other animals after this. If you thought having a puppy was a lot- don’t get a baby goat 😂 They are insane!! The cover photo on my grid shows just how sweet Clementine is 🥹 Those blue eyes let her get away with anything and everything! Hahaha
Unbox some baby chicks with me 🐥 A record 50/51 arrived alive 🙏🏼 And they’re settling in nicely under their heat lamps. The Midnight Marans went in with the babes from yesterday, and the Cornish Cross are in their own tote, and will make their way to the chicken tractor sooooon! This was my first year ordering from @tractorsupply + @hoovershatchery 👏🏼 A seamless process! There’s still time to order chicks! I was sure to grab chick starter from @mossyacresfeed this week too! Get ready for more chicken content 🤣
BEE PARTY 🎉 This time of year is so much fun because the warmer temps have us all longing for spring and ready to grow our gardens! I had a friend asking about flower seeds to sow that would help reclaim dirt that’s all dug up from their septic tank adventures last fall. Poppies were my first answer. They’re deer resistant, and bees love them. Plus!! They’re fairly drought tolerant. I dug out this video to show her the bees in the poppies, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. So here you go. Enjoy the busy bees with me while we dream of spring.
Sound on 🔈 if you like bees 🐝 Morning harvesting in the verbascum patch 🙌🏼
Presprouting those baby octopi 🐙
