The Menkveld Farm Blog
We started our flower farm in 2017 while living in Nolensville, TN! It was an amazing experience for our family, and in that process, we learned so much! In 2023 we relocated to West Michigan, and while our family is still settling into a new routine and growing flowers on a much smaller scale, I am excited to continue to share information about what we learned during our time in Tennessee. I would love to have you follow along with me as I continue to share about farming and learning to run a business!
Lavender Bouquets & Upcoming Events
In just over a week, we will be kicking off our 2020 Lavender Season! Throughout the month of June and July we are offering several ways to get fresh lavender bouquets from the farm, as well as opportunities to enjoy the lavender fields (while following social distancing guidelines).
Lavender Bouquet Subscription
This summer, we are excited to start providing a lavender bouquet subscription that will deliver fresh lavender bouquets to your home or office!
Weddings with Menkveld Farm
Over the last year we have had a lot of requests from brides and wedding planners asking about dried lavender for bouquets and wedding decorations. Lavender makes beautiful wedding bouquets and there are so many beautiful and unique ways it can be used to decorate venues and place settings and be used for wedding favors. We have enjoyed developing some products for our wedding line over the last few months and hope many brides will enjoy them on their wedding day as well!
Lavender Harvest 2019
We have been extra busy at Menkveld Farm the last few weeks with our second lavender harvest. The lavender was ready about a week earlier than last summer, which surprised us given how nice the spring had been here - lots of rain and not too hot. As we near the end of harvest season, we are enjoying the purple that is still in the field, and while we are ready to spend some time at the pool, we are thrilled about everything that has been happening this harvest season. Here is a quick update of some of the things we have been up to.
Thank You
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Menkveld Farm booth on Saturday at the Nolensville, Buttercup Festival! We had a great time and were able to meet so many wonderful people. We hope to see you at the Buttercup Festival again next year. In the meantime, subscribe to our blog to get updates on the farm throughout the year, and sign up for updates on when fresh lavender is for sale this summer.
Menkveld Farm at the Buttercup Festival
Spring is in the air, the daffodils (aka buttercups) are blooming, and the Nolensville Buttercup Festival is right around the corner! This year, we are very excited to announce that Menkveld Farm will be hosting a booth at the 20th Annual Buttercup Festival!
