My Story

Small town girl with big dreams.

My flower farm journey began in 2020 when the world was shut down and I found myself, quite literally, forced to stop and smell the roses. I was trying to keep myself busy outside and to model to my children the importance of staying physically and mentally well during a time of such uncertainty. It was after planting my first dahlia and discovering its beauty that I realized just how happy it made me. I knew I wanted to spread that happiness to others. In 2021, Blooms of Lost Acres was born. I made my first farm investment (a rototiller) and got to work. Within four months I had grown 40 dahlia plants and zinnias. I enjoyed putting together flower bunches and sharing them as a way to spread joy. Fall came and I took on my next flower challenge by planting 2,850 tulip bulbs. Come spring, I sold out of my tulips in under six weeks. The joy it brought to the community was infectious, and I was hooked. For year two I planted more than double my original dahlia crop with 130 plants and then more than triple the previous year’s tulip crop with 10,100 bulbs! I look forward to continuing to grow this business and spread joy with my blooms.
