Bye Bye Bye 2020

Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021! Last year was tough and I am pretty happy it’s a brand new year. I wanted to go back and try to pick our some of my favorite moments from 2020. 1. We built a no-contact farm stand in a weekend (just Andrew and myself) when the pandemic first hit and quarantine was in effect. And it worked! We are in awe of the amount of support we received from our community. On many of the days it would completely sell…

Wildflower & Lavender Wedding in Chattanooga

We had the privilege of working with some outstanding vendors a couple of months ago on this beautiful styled shoot at Howe Farms We wanted the florals to come off as a bit wildflower and garden designed. We incorporated lavender, cosmos, lisianthus, dara, dahlias, strawflower, and more. We loved the soft and romantic look this created. If you look below, you can see some of the reception details. We have a beautiful floral chandelier that we use for wedding styling (and is available to rent)…

Fall to Winter on the Farm

The passage of time this year has seemed truly impossible to track, and I know we’re not alone in that.  March seemed to drag on forever, and then once April danced by suddenly it was Halloween and then Thanksgiving, and it felt like our floral season had less of a bittersweet wind-down and more of an abrupt stop.  We took a short break for the beginning of November to let our brains and bodies hard reset in the Mexico heat to prepare for our fall…

COVID-19 and Our Farm

It has been a wild ride trying to navigate the world amidst a global pandemic. We would usually be popping up all around Chattanooga in our flower truck, the Blumenwagen. Instead all pop-ups are cancelled until further notice. We are trying to do our part with social distancing but also as a small farm, we are trying to survive. Thankfully to some creative brainstorming and from suggestions from our Chattanooga community, we have come up with a couple of different ways to responsibly keep supplying…

“Blumen Hemp” our new CBD Products right here in Chattanooga

We are proud to now offer our hemp to our customers! Grown right here on our farm, processed, and then packaged, we are one of the few farms that can offer high quality CBD products that are this fresh and really entail what it means to be “local”. Just like with our flowers, we grow our hemp organically. This year, for the 2019-2020 season, we grew the strains Cherry Wine and BaOx. To ensure quality, we tested our product several times through our local hemp…

Jette, Vesper, & Rowan

August. This summer has been crazy. This year was the first year selling flowers to the general public here in Chattanooga. Previously, we have just sold to florists for the last two years. This is also the first year the Blumenwagen has been on the road. The summer has absolutely flown by. It’s been hard learning to balance the work – being a mom – and life. So much love going out to all the working moms and dads! I suffer from mom-guilt or farm-guilt…

Nightfall Concert Series

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of popping up for our first time at Nightfall’s Art Market! It is held at Miller Park right next to Miller Plaza on 850 Market Street in Chattanooga.
