I have always loved to grow things. When I was 8 years old, my dad let me have full design rights to a 4′ x 4′ space in his flower garden. He took me to a nursery, and apparently, I spent $80 to fill that plot. My dad didn’t blink an eye, and he said it was the most beautiful place in our yard that year. Fast forward 25 years later when my husband and I purchased 2.5 acres back in our hometown of North Ogden. We had 2 boys under 2 years old, and property with more weeds and overgrown trees than we knew what to do with. But slowly, much like that 4' x 4' space in my dad’s yard, I began to tame ours. We now grow thousands of flowers each year and host many on-farm workshops, even in the off season.North Ogden Flower FarmKellie WebbLike many local flower farmers, we grow flowers that you will not find in stores.

Even now, she is still amazed at how a few beautiful flowers, cut and brought into her home, brings her so much joy. Sheraya Fulton TREASURER 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 RESEARCH 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. Brianna Wells EDUCATION COMMITTEE 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. Calee Garn GRANT COMMITTEE CHAIR Agriculture has shaped my life from the beginning. My family operates a commercial cow/calf ranch and a sizable row crop farm, where I learned the value of hard work, stewardship of the land, and thoughtful decision-making. After starting our family, my involvement in the farm shifted from spending long days in the tractor whenever I could to building something of my own. What began as my idea for a small garden project—growing flowers to see what might be possible—has since grown into a branch of our farming operation. I approach flower production the same way I was taught to approach any crop—with careful observation, practical knowledge, and a commitment to continual improvement. Through my work with the Utah Cut Flower Farm Association, I focus on supporting growers, strengthening markets for locally grown flowers, and helping build a stronger future for the industry while raising my children with the same agricultural values I was given.
