My Saturday morning rituals: waking up before the sun rises, schleppin’ buckets of flowers, topping off my mug multiple times with hot coffee, saying hello to many beautiful people, sending you home with many beautiful goods.

Come see us at our Farm Store just south of Mt Vernon from 9am-12pm where we’re serving breakfast and have a very full barn full of incredible veg and meat and flowers.
Or see us at the Iowa City Farmers Market and pick up your weekly flowers and pastured Jeremy Wilhelm lamb cuts.

What’s your Saturday ritual?

For the past six summers, every single Saturday morning has been spent vending at a farmer’s market. Jeremy and I took a mid-season mini weekend vacation and what was the priority event on our list? Go to a farmer’s market, of course! It was very fun to go to the Dane County Farmers' Market and see all the incredible dahlias and flowers and veg and support farmers in the Madison area. Glad I had my bouquet bag bc these flowers were hefty! I surprised myself by picking out a red bouquet when I’ve sworn off growing red flowers 😳 but the dahlias were calling to me and white statice was so gorgeous.. so maybe we should grow more red flowers next year?! What do you think?

Thanks to the crew for running our own farmer’s market stall and farm store over the weekend! We 💕 markets and everyone who shows up weekend after weekend to support small businesses. You can catch us at the Iowa City Farmers Market every Saturday til Halloween and come visit our Farm Store til the winter solstice.

The fix for rainy day blues? Flower therapy! Which of these color palettes suits your mood? Peruse them all at the Iowa City Farmers Market and our Farm Store Saturday morning and choose for yourself. It’s been a rainy weird week and it might be a rainy weird market morning but I hope you’ll brave the drizzle and come out to get some fun funky fresh flowers.

Iowa City Farmers Market 7:30-12pm with all the flowers! There won’t be Jeremy Wilhelm lamb cuts this week but we’ll be back with those next week or you can find them all at our Farm Store.

Emma Barber Farm Store 9am-12pm. Fresh veg, herbs, bread, meats! Savana is cooking up breakfast - quiche and savory pancakes (full menu in stories) with coffee and baked goods.

See you soon, friends ✨

Reminiscing on the bouquets we sent out to CSA members in July. Photos are a lifeline for me as the details of each week blur together by this point in the season. Putting together new color palettes and combinations of flowers will never get old. In fact I think that’s one of the aspects of flower farming that is the most fulfilling for me, pulling the color out of the field and whirling them around in our hands and wrapping them up in paper and handing them over to you. We’re halfway through our flower CSA season which means there’s a whole lot more to come. August shares are full but we can still take a few more members for September and for our special dahlia share that runs for 3 weeks at the end of September / early October. Sign up on our website 🌸

Curious to know - which one’s your favorite of all these?
