My apologies for the silence this year... it has been rough.
Starting an organic flower farm from scratch is hard!!
Now im faced with continuing to try to start an organic flower farm from scratch after my home has stood in the wake of tornado destruction!π«£
Thank you for those who have reached out. Your kindness means the world!! π«Ά
It has been 1 week since an F3 tornado riped through my hometown of Menasha,WI leaving so many families homeless and devastated. Thankfully, there were no fatalities, the damage done to Our home can be fixed and our power was restored this past weekend!! For those asking, the storm missed our farm and my truck was safe on the north side of appleton at the time of the storm.π
I have slowly started to process everything thats happened and its for sure going to take time to heal mentally and emotionally from this entire ordeal. Clean up and re building is going to be long and exhausting & prioritizing time for what's most important will be painful but critical.
I may no longer have a farmstand and I may not have time to build a successful flower farm this year or next but I am still here and I am
so proud to be apart of a community that is strong and eager to show up to support each other in whatever way they can! π«Ά
Be sure to check on your Menasha friends this week! They may say they are "good" & "ok" but they are just doing the best they can right now with where we are at in this process.β€οΈ
With all the love and gratitude,
Your local florist & farmer
