Crop failure is a very frustrating, yet common issue for farmers of all types—flower farming included.
I have really been struggling with my sunflowers this year. Primarily due to chipmunks and squirrels digging them up and tearing out my plants.
I’m grateful to have relationships with other growers in the area and we help each other fill in the gaps when we have them.
One such farmer is Oxbow Orchard in Valley View. They are growing the most spectacular sunflowers this year. Check these out 🤩
Want to see these gorgeous blooms in person? Head over to their Final Friday event featuring FLOWERFEST— this Friday, July 31 at 6pm. There will be live music, delicious local food (BBQ and icecream) opportunities to learn about dyeing with plants, tours of their farm and flower patches, and you can even take home your own marigold tie-dyed handkerchief!
