The Menkveld Farm Blog

We started our flower farm in 2017, and what an amazing adventure it has been! We knew we wanted a special place to raise our family, and also have a place we could share with the community. We would love to have you follow along with us as we continue to learn about farming and running a business, and share opportunities for you to enjoy our flowers!

Native Perennials for Cut Flower Production

One of the big projects on the farm this year has been putting in a native perennial cut flower garden. This project combines several things I am passionate about: growing cut flowers, supporting healthy ecosystems, and sharing my knowledge with others. As a flower farmer, not only do I care about growing flowers, but also ensuring that we are supporting the environment where we grow our flowers, which will in turn help us grow better flowers. Native perennials are a great solution here!
