flowers

We grow our flowers in Fulton County, west central Illinois. The farm sits on a river bluff overlooking the confluence of the Spoon River into the Illinois River, surrounded by restored prairie, floodplains and wetlands, forest and farmland. We have about 1 acre of perennial beds featuring natives, garden plants and classic cut flowers and a shifting garden of annual flowers, vegetables and cover crops. Our farming operation exists within the larger project of land stewardship as we transition a soybean field into a diverse, healthy and useful ecosystem. Ben also works as a freelance florist, working with talented teams to transform venues into immersive floral experiences.
