FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Where is the farm located?
Michigan, USA. We are located about 20 minutes south of Grand Rapids, MI.
9973 Homerich Ave. SW Byron Center, MI 49315
We are in Byron Center, about 4 miles west of Highway 131.
2. Where/how do I buy flowers from your farm?
All of our blooms, bunches and bouquets are sold from our self-serve, honor system Flower House. Please visit our FLOWER HOUSE page for hours of operation, parking instructions and payment options.
3. Can I walk around your farm?
Nope! While the Flower House is open to the public, the rest of our farm is private property. Thank you for respecting our boundaries. PLEASE DO NOT WANDER AROUND OUR FARM. I don’t think you’d like to find people wandering in your backyard either!
We cannot accommodate drop-in visitors. This is a working farm and time is our most precious resource. Over the summer, we offer Farm Tours, where you can meet us and get a “behind the scenes” look at Three Acre Farm.
Have questions about farming/gardening? Want to pick my brain? You can schedule a 1 Hour Consultation, where we can chat via phone, Zoom or at the farm. Availability may be limited during the busy growing season.
4. Can we take family/senior/engagement photos at your farm?
No. We do not allow photography sessions at this time. Thanks for understanding that our farm is our private residence. We suggest seeking out public parks/gardens, such as Spring Grove Park or the Grand Ideas Garden.
5. Can I order flowers? Do you do wedding/event arrangements?
All of our blooms, bunches and bouquets are sold via our self-serve Flower House, first come, first serve.
We do not hold/reserve flowers or take custom orders/florist orders.
Availability in the Flower House varies day by day, hour by hour. We cannot predict what will be in stock each day, as bloom time is entirely weather dependent.
Unlike wholesale flower suppliers who source flowers from multiple growers around the world, we ONLY source flowers from OUR fields. We harvest daily and stock the Flower House with what happens to be in bloom on that day.
If you need to order arrangements for a wedding or event, or need specific blooms on a specific day, please contact a florist.
6. Do you teach classes or speak at events?
Yes! I’ve taught at Fredrick Meijer Gardens, my local libraries and at multiple churches in my community. My background is teaching and art. I love helping people explore their creative side and learn how to live an more intentional life. Please visit my Speaking Engagements page for more info.
*Please note: My speaking availability is more open in the winter/off season (Nov-Mar). I have limited capacity for speaking events during our growing season (April - Oct).
7. Do you need volunteers to help on the farm?
Yes, occasionally we could use a few extra helping hands! Please click on the link below to fill out the Google Form and I’ll add you to the potential volunteer list and send you more info via email.

8. I’m a Florist and I need to order flowers. How do I do that?
We do not have capacity for fulfilling florist orders at this time. Please feel free to stop by our self-serve Flower House to see what is available!
9. I'M interested in starting a farm too. Can I "Pick Your brain”?
Yes! I offer 1 Hour Consultations where we can take a deep dive together to help you make your farming dreams come true. You can learn more about the process and sign up on my Consultations page.
*Due to the volume of emails, messages and requests I receive on a daily basis, I’m no longer able to answer specific questions or provide feedback for people outside of my “Backyard Cutting Garden 101” online course community or my Consultation clients. Thanks for understanding!
