Another storm rolled through last night. The winds took the roof off one of our greenhouses.
Our cut flower, vegetable gardens, and grain crops were hit again, as were so many farmers across our area who are dealing with the same losses right now.
We will get through this the way farmers always do, one day at a time.
We share this because we made a commitment when we started showing up on social media: to show the real picture of what running a greenhouse and farm looks like. Not just the beautiful blooms, the full CSA boxes, and the seedlings that go home every May to become someone's summer garden - but the storms, the losses, the decisions that keep you up at night, and the mornings when you walk out, assess the damage, and figure out what comes next.
Flower farming and greenhouse growing are often romanticized. We understand why; there is genuine beauty in this work, and we feel it every day.
However, there is also hail. There is flooding. There are roofs that come off in the night, crops that do not recover, and seasons that test everything you have. This has been one of those seasons, for us and for a lot of Alberta farm families right now. This work is hard, and this summer has been harder than most.
To everyone who has called, texted, or emailed this past week - Thank you! From the bottom of our hearts. This community has shown up for us in ways we will never forget.
