Namekagon. It’s the name of our farm, and it can be hard to pronounce! Why such a tricky name? Because, the Namekagon River. This River is part of the St Croix National Scenic Riverway, and was designated as one of the original eight rivers under the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act. This keeps the land surrounding the river from becoming privately owned, and developed. It gives a nature experience that is unique, especially on the Upper Namekagon, my favorite section. I grew up downstream, visiting the St Croix often and working at Interstate State Park (WI side) for several years. When we moved to Hayward, both of the places we have lived have been easy walking distances to the Namekagon. We canoe and kayak, fish, tube, swim, bike, wildlife watch, and capture photographs along this river. I almost always spot an eagle, and today was no different. Pronounced NAM-uh-KAH-gun and meaning “place of the sturgeon” in Ojibwe, the Namekagon is one of my favorite places to be. Do you have a connection to a special place?

Farm to Vase 💐👩🏻‍🌾
As I organize seeds in the most optimistic time of year, when everything is as much of a clean slate as it’s going to be, I consider why I’m doing this. It’s more than big armloads of gorgeous flowers, although that certainly is a beautiful perk. Behind the beauty of a flower farm is all of the researching, planning, selection, seeding, growing, pinching, transplanting, watering, weeding, cutting, conditioning, arranging and finally marketing...not to mention mistakes, soil conservation, weather, the late nights, bug bites, time & expense, and some mighty physical labor. All as a side to a full time job, a family, and livestock here. Literal blood, sweat, & tears ~ flower farming, like so many types of farming, is truly a labor of love. It helps to stop and pause, to reflect on the “why”.
It is about the connection to the land, and being able to share that directly with the consumer. Woven into our lives in significant times of joy and sorrow; weddings and funerals; every day cheer & encouragement, flowers bring comfort and I’m so glad to be a part of it. Working with plants and animals is simply in my blood, I wouldn’t be right without it. I’m so thrilled to be creating local floral beauty, (and gorgeous fiber, nourishing meats & veggies too) from hard work here. Thank you for your support, and sharing in the enjoyment of our endeavors. ✨🌱💐🐑🐓👩🏻‍🌾🌻✨
