Everyone please give a warm welcome to our newest trial grower, Montpelier Flower Farm Montpelier Flower Farm 👋🏻

Ann and her husband Jamie bought the land that is now their home and flower farm eight years ago and spent the next several years clearing the trees and building the health of their soil. During that time, Ann spent countless hours taking flower farming courses, reading books, watching farming videos, listening to podcasts, learning about what makes their soil healthy, meeting other flower farmers, and growing flowers. They have been selling flowers for three years.

She loves getting to share the beautiful flowers they grow with so many people in their community. There are so many things she enjoys about being a flower farmer, but she especially loves starting flowers from seeds and tending them until they are ready to be planted in the fields or high tunnel. There is something very satisfying about planting thousands of seeds and then getting to harvest bunches and bunches of beautiful flowers. Although they are not 100% organic farm, they try very hard to steward their land well. They have added lots of organic compost and quality topsoil to create healthy, permanent growing beds so that they minimize tillage, rely on fish emulsion as one of their main fertilizers, and add calcium by way of eggshell extraction by vinegar! In the spring of 2027 some of the flowers they will be offering include snapdragons, ranunculus, campanulas, nigella, peonies, stock, yarrow, orlaya, bupleurum, and bells of ireland. You’ve already been enjoying some of their beautiful dahlias at the market this fall!

River City has expanded for the busy fall wedding season! Please join us in officially welcoming Jackie & Mike from Bluebird Meadows Farm LLC

Jackie and Mike have been growing together for 15 years, and their flower farm is the latest chapter. After years of gardening, raising chickens, and tending a farm on a previous property, they moved to their current 11 acres in Bumpass, Virginia, in 2020. Two years ago they planted their first flower beds, and they haven’t looked back.

Their son Kristopher works alongside them, and their farm dog Sunny supervises (he’s a good hole digger). They’re also home to a flock of chickens, a goose, two ducks, and three beehives.  

The farm is mostly pasture, which their neighbor uses to feed their livestock. They also have a small pond and a growing collection of fruit trees: peach, apple, plum, pear, paw paw, persimmon and many others. They grow with pollinators in mind and rely on natural, sustainable methods to build healthy soil and sturdy blooms.

Look for them at the market with seasonal bouquets featuring snapdragons, iris, bachelor’s buttons, nigella, and textured fillers like frosted explosion grass. They love getting to know the people who take their flowers home, and they can’t wait to share this season and next with you.

It’s dahlia overload here for our flower farmers, so we wanted to highlight a few varieties this week like Jowey Linda, Caitlin’s Joy, Sweet Suzanne & Sylvia. There’s also hairy balls (yes that’s their real name, these are in the milkw**d family), ruby parfait celosia, limonata celosia, shimmer celosia, burgundy amaranth and ageratum.
