Farm Life is in FULL swing & we’re rolling out some BIG changes for our sweet little flower farm this season.
5 years ago our farms humble beginnings were rooted in growing healthy fruit & veg.
When I moved into the farm full-time with Chris he built me 13 small flower beds and it was deemed my own little piece of the farm to experiment with.
Fast forward four years later and our flower production has increased significantly. Islanders LOVE local flowers & we can’t seem to grow enough!
So, over the past few years we’ve worked hard () in transitioning most of our fields into flower crops. We’ve expanded our offerings to weddings, special events, and even a Bouquet Subscription.
We’ve held onto our favourite produce items, salad mix, garlic, strawberries & our whole property is covered in fruit/nut trees.
Life has presented us with a new path. Although we feel attached to the old one and the lingering fear of failure is scary, we’re embracing this new change with open arms & hope in our hearts.
...
Stay tuned THIS Fall for a big change in our flower farming journey as we introduce a new farm name & logo.
Where can you find our flowers this week?
✔️Every Saturday at the @qbfarmersmarket ✔️Every Sunday at our road side farm stand 9-late @ 930 Spider Lake Rd.
Friday Introductions.
Hi We’re Chris & Bronwyn!
Two passionate young farmers on Vancouver Island. He’s the funniest person I’ve ever met. A day dreamer. Passionate about life. Gets by last minute. Social. Does not read manuals.
I’m more reserved. Present. Creative. Always over prepared. Always too early. Enjoys being alone. Reads manuals.
We started this business not knowing what the future held. Before we knew it this entire thing had turned into something crazy.
We went from growing healthy organic produce to flowering for weddings & events, selling to floral designers, running a Bouquet Subscription & advocating for local flowers.
We’re damn proud of all of this & so far we’re toasting the journey. It is so far from perfect, but that’s what keeps us grounded.
Happy #fridayintroductions ❤️ by @innocentthunderphotography
Yesterday marked the first day of our Bouquet Subscription for the month of June. This week’s bouquets were awfully pretty, don’t you think?
Our Bouquet Subscription still has openings this summer. If you’d like us to shower you in our farm grown flowers once a week for 4 weeks, this is your chance:
www.Vertgen.com/shop
Members are the first to receive our most specialty blooms like roses & peonies, micro-crops that don’t make it to market, & they get to enjoy the first of every new crop we harvest. We reserve the very best for our Subscription members.
In turn, your support allows our farm to continue growing beautiful flowers & revolutionizing the local flower movement one bouquet at a time.
Our farm is nothing without the community’s support, and we are so grateful for you!
Pretty happy that I branched out from my usual pastel, peaches, blushes and decided to add a whole lot of cheery colour to our garden this year too. What do you think ?! Digging the pop of colour or are you more of a softer colours flower lover ?! #locallygrownflowers #gardeninspiration #bloom #floralinspiration #localflowers #farmfresh #freshflowers #slowflowers #canadiangrownflowers #yyjflowers #yyjflorist #farmher #womenwhofarm #blooms #floral #flowers #flowerlovers #farmerflorist #islandgrownflowers #yyjflowers #gardenersofinstagram #thehappygardeninglife #seasonalfloweralliance #bhgflowers
