Calluna Flower Farm
Calluna Flower Farm is a small urban flower farm specializing in unique varieties of flowers for arrangements and bouquets. We use natural and organic growing methods to maintain our gardens and to ensure the sustainability of our small production. Our flowers are grown seasonally so that each season brings different amazing flowers harvested at their peak of freshness. We sell from our location, offer a CSA membership, and host a booth at the Ogden Farmers Market. This is our third year selling to the public and I absolutely love to see flowers creating smiles and brightening someone's day with a beautiful bouquet.
For my farm growing flowers is more than a business; its a lot of hard work and planning, but also reconnecting my lifestyle to the cycles of our environment. I plan and develop the farm with business aspects in mind but I also consider how each new development will contribute to our miniature ecosystem. For example we create our own compost with all our organic waste, conserve water, use insects and animals for balancing pest and disease populations. I also strive to provide food and shelter for beneficial insects and pollinators, create as little plastic waste as possible, and re purposed and recycle materials. Every decision I make is based on trying to improve the biodiversity and health of the habitat I live in. I find a peace in knowing that I am improving the health of the little piece of earth I have taken responsibility for.
