Our story

Welcome, my name is Maria Lesch and my husband (Nick) and I bought our homestead in the Fall of 2021. Then with our three kids (now 5) we dove straight into projects to make our dream a reality. Since then we have invested and grown our homestead to include chickens, pigs, veggie gardens, livestock guardian dog, a small orchard, a raspberry patch, and flower gardens. My true obsession with flowers and the idea of a flower farm started in the Fall of 2023, and now I am so proud to say that running my own flower farm is one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done.

This year will be my third year selling flowers, and I am so thankful for the support of my husband, family, friends, and community who supported me through my first two growing seasons.

I am looking forward to the 2026 growing season, especially continuing to expand all I have to offer. Some of my plans include expanding my perennial flower gardens, growing 40,000 sunflowers, and getting my flowers into more and more hands.

My Favorite Things:

  • Coffee Creamer/Diet Coke (Depending on the time of day)

  • Wireless Earbuds

  • Snuggles with my babies

  • Peonies (Hence the logo design)

  • Making flower farm/homestead plans with my husband
