Meet the Team
We are a wife and husband team, working together on our 'weekend hobby farm' for over 20 years, and now converting our field into cut flower production. For Lorri, it is a dream come true. Doug, on the other hand? He's just a really great guy --- and drives a tractor!
We also lean on our family from time to time to assist. If you're lucky, you'll meet our son Brett, daughter Leigh, and parents Keith & MaryAnn!
