U-Pick Flower Farm

  1. Oh, the joys of U-Pick farms! Forget the traditional strawberry and pumpkin farms - we're all about that U-Pick flower farm life now. Who needs a store-bought bouquet when you can handpick your own fresh flowers straight from the field? Play DIY florist for a day and create your own stunning spring bouquet.

    Mother's Day is just around the corner, so why not treat mom to a special outing at a U-Pick flower farm? Some flower farms even let you have a picnic while you're at it. So pack up some snacks, grab a blanket, and make a day of it! Not only will mom appreciate the thoughtfulness, she'll also love choosing her favorite blooms to brighten up her day. Who needs store-bought bouquets when you can create one straight from the heart?


  2. If flower picking isn’t enough, get out and start pulling weeds. But before you start yanking out every green thing in sight, reach out to your local environmental organization for some expert advice. They'll fill you in on which plants are the troublemakers in your area and how to spot them. Plus, you might even get the chance to join an 'invasive species pull' - it's like a weeding party but with a cause!

    Grab your gloves and channel your inner weed warrior as we embark on a mission to protect our native flora from those sneaky invaders. Remember, every weed you pull is one step closer to a garden full of happy native plants doing their thing without the unwanted competition. Let's show those invasive species who's boss!

    Make infusion tea under the pink moon


  5. We've all heard about the 2024 total solar eclipse. But have you heard about the Pink Moon and the mystical allure of a full moon infusion? 🌕✨ On Tuesday, April 23rd, get ready to bask in the glow of the full Pink Moon, which represents rebirth, growth, and renewal. And while you’re at it, brew up some magic with a full moon infusion that will make your taste buds do a happy dance!

    To start this enchanting process, simply gather your favorite tea blend.

  6. Support your local produce farmer. Not only will you be supporting growers in your area, but buying local cuts out fossil-fuel intensive transport by air, land, and sea. Plus, who doesn't love the idea of fresher, tastier, more sustainable, and way more nutritious food? It's like a delicious win-win for everyone involved!

    By joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program or shopping directly at a local farm, you're not just getting your hands on some amazing produce - you're also helping to build a stronger community and reduce your carbon footprint. And let's be honest, the veggies from your neighbor's farm just taste better than the ones that have been sitting on a truck for days.

    So next time you're craving some fresh greens or juicy fruits, skip the supermarket and head straight to your local farmer. Your taste buds (and the planet) will thank you!
