Hi, my name is Melanie Stock and I run USU Small Farms with my team of graduate and undergraduate students. I’m a soil scientist and my role at Utah State is to develop and run a research and extension program that supports smaller scale farmers. I quickly learned about the amazing development of cut flower farms across the state – and also the lack of (research-based) information for growing cut flowers in our area. It was an easy decision to focus my work on cut flower production. I got into farming in a roundabout way. I loved gardening with my Dad for as long as I can remember. We lived in the city, so I was pretty removed from farming, but I ended up snagging a sweet landscaping job in high school and college that allowed me to work with plants in a new way. Later on, I became a chemist, but my love for plants never went away. I realized being a soil scientist would be a perfect and practical way to combine my interests in plants and chemistry (and later physics). I felt like I met the rest of my professional life during my PhD though: I started studying agriculture (because of my advisor) and running a community garden on the side (because of my love of food and people). After these two experiences, I knew I wanted to stay in agriculture and work with smaller scale farmers. Now I have my dream job at USU and love conducting agricultural research with my students - in the name of cut flowers - and work with cut flower farmers across our region.USU Small FarmsMelanie StockUSU Small Farms features a cut flower program for research, teaching, and extension. Our research focuses on tailoring cut flower production to Utah growing conditions, as well as testing environmentally responsible farming practices. We teach our students through hands-on farm internships and host outreach events to share our findings across the Intermountain West. Our flowers are primarily sold to Utah florists, and we use these sales to support our students and study the local cut flower market. The USU Small Farms team consists of graduate students, undergraduate students, and me (Melanie Stock, USU faculty). Special acknowledgement goes to Maegen Lewis, my MS student with the biggest passion for cut flowers, and the person who deserves all the credit for managing the day-to-day needs at our farm, including undergraduate student training and sales. We specialized in peony, snapdragons, stock, lisianthus, dahlias, zinnias, celosia, foxglove, and delphinium. Our cut flower trials are established in North Logan at the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station – Greenville Farm, and we also collaborate on trials with growers across the Wasatch Front. Most of our flowers are sold through Florage Flower Farm Co-op.Please email Melanie Stock if you are interested in purchasing USU Flowers. < Back Edit My Profile USU Small Farms USU Small Farms features a cut flower program for research, teaching, and extension.

Fawn Rueckert PRESIDENT Fawn has loved flowers ever since her mother read The Secret Garden to her as a small child. She grows flowers for the Daybreak Farmer’s Market and a bouquet subscription, in her suburban backyard in South Jordan, Utah. When she’s not farming you can find her reading a book or volunteering with the USU Master Gardeners program. Mollie Payne VICE PRESIDENT Mollie grew up surrounded by gardens and flowers, but somehow opted to study computers in college. She now runs a flower farm in her backyard in Provo. She loves building lasting connections with her community by sharing the joy of locally grown flowers. She offers her flowers at the Provo Farmers' Market and on her website direct to florists and designers. She also enjoys hosting various workshops on her property. She loves sharing her knowledge of growing and expanding her own education when it comes to new crops and practices. Britin Van Brocklin TREASURER Britin is an urban flower grower and accountant. Her mother would always cut flowers from the garden to bring inside throughout the summer or decorate for a party. So Britin naturally had a small flower garden to cut from once having her own home. After hours of research she finally bought her first seeds and supplies to start her cut flower garden business. Her favorite part about growing is being able to teach her children about hard work and brightening others lives through the flowers they grow. KailCee Harrison SECRETARY After spending her childhood farming and playing in her grandparent’s floral shop, founding a flower farm seemed like a natural choice for KailCee. Free Spirit Flora began after 3 a.m. Youtube deepdive into the floral industry abroad. After learning how flowers are grown, harvested, and sold on a massive scale in Holland, South Africa, and Columbia she felt that there must be a simpler, more sustainable way to produce flowers. Her grandparents told her stories of carnation farms in California, rose hot houses in Utah County, and how it used to be easier to purchase locally than it was to buy abroad. Inspired by the idea she set out to grow and share her flowers with her community. When she isn’t farming you can find KailCee hiking in the mountains or traveling with friends. Melanie Stock GRANT COMMITTEE CHAIR Melanie is an Assistant Professor at Utah State University in Logan, UT. Her research focuses on cut flower crops and applied physics. In her free time, she’s an avid urban homesteader and enjoys jogging with her dog. Kellie Webb EDUCATION COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR Kellie had been working in business and publishing for 13 years before deciding to stay home with her 2 little boys. Like many mothers, she started gardening and growing flowers as an outlet and fun past-time for her family. She now runs a 2-acre flower farm that focuses on bouquet subscriptions, on-farm u-picks and workshops, and wholesale to florists. Even now, she is still amazed at how a few beautiful flowers, cut and brought into her home, brings her so much joy. Brianna Wells EDUCATION COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR One of my biggest passions is flowers. Growing flowers, arranging flowers, and teaching about flowers make me excited. I attended Washington State University and received my degree in Agriculture, and now I am an adjunct professor at BYU teaching Floral Design. While working on my degree I knew I wanted to start a flower farm and bring flowers to the community around me. So here I am now teaching Floral Design at BYU, running a flower farm, and creating amazing events. Sara Asbridge PUBLICITY COMMITTEE CHAIR I am a farm girl through and through. I was born and raised on a dairy farm in North Dakota, but we didn't just milk cows, we also raised beef cattle and all of the hay and grain needed to support both of the herds. Spring was a busy time on the farm between calving, planting the fields, first cutting of the alfalfa and planting the gardens. I say gardens because my mom planted one, my grandmother (who also lived on the the farm) planted one and my town grandpa also planted a large garden at the farm. But then there was the flowers. The hedge row of peonies, the driveway lined with lilacs, and the farmyard dotted with flower beds full of perennials, just waiting on the annuals to be planted. It was a glorious place to grow up and a wonderful way to be raised. This is where my love of flowers was born, beside my mother and my grandmother, with our hands in the dirt and sweat on our brows. Shaleigh Shurtz VIRTUAL ASSISTANT Shaleigh is a Virtual Assistant/Social Media Manager and Flower Farmer in Cedar City, Utah. She is the owner of Let's Grow with Shaleigh and Chatelaine Flower Farm.
