Meet the Farmer
What is it about freshcut, farm-grown flowers that instantly lifts the spirit? Is it filling your arms with blooms full of colour, scent and softness? Is it the joy and grounding of nature in this beautiful, fleeting form?
While the wonder and beauty of flowers is reason enough to pick up a bouquet, the warmth they bring to your home is just the start of why we love carrying local blooms every summer.
At Nature’s Fare Markets, supporting local farms goes beyond what’s grown for your plate; it’s about everything grown for your table, including that sunflower bouquet.
Local flower farms play a vital role in our ecosystem. Rows of goldenrod, lupines, marigolds and black-eyed Susans do more than fill our vases—they support our pollinators, nourish our soil and help protect the health of the land. Choosing organic, locally grown flowers is another way we can support a more sustainable and connected food (and flower) system.
U Grow Girl is more than just a flower farm. It’s a mission, a movement and a safe space rooted in the healing power of nature. Founded by women, for women, this fully female-powered farm grows seasonal blooms that support survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Each bouquet is carefully grown, picked and arranged by survivors on a path to healing.
There’s something special about knowing where your flowers come from, and the myriad of ways that beautiful bouquet is making a difference.
The next time you place freshcut, local flowers in a vase, take a moment to imagine the hands that did the watering, the picking and the arranging, just for you.
