The farm began as a form of "dirt therapy" in a simple 25-by-50-foot patch of flowers after long days working as a nurse practitioner. The following year it doubled in size. Today, Farm 2 Flower spans nearly one-third of an acre, with plans for continued expansion. As both a healthcare provider and farmer, Jenna has a deep appreciation for the connection between healthy soil and healthy living. She is passionate about organic growing practices, natural pest management, and building a thriving soil microbiome to support strong, beautiful blooms. In addition to flowers, Jenna maintains a small vegetable farm that helps provide fresh, homegrown food for her family throughout the year. Farm 2 Flower is more than a flower farm—it's a place where wellness, community, and the beauty of nature come together. Connect with Jenna at:
