I am a third generation farmer. I grew up playing in the creek and picking roses from my grandmother's garden in Southern California. I love to spend the day in the sunshine, whether It's in the garden or sitting by the pool or beach. I believe in knowing where your food comes from and I love to trade flowers, vegetables sourdough bread and eggs with friends and neighbors to create a mini self sustaining community.Blue Mountain RanchHeather SmithWe bought our property, Blue Mountain Ranch almost 6 years ago, after searching for 20+ years. We were initially drawn to the mature perennials, trees and stunning views of the mountains. The property sits at the mouth of American Fork canyon in Highland and we have beautiful rich soil. We have worked tirelessly to bring our farm back to life and create a biodiverse environment for pollinators, birds and wildlife. We farm on a little less than 2 acres, although some of it is pasture that we are working to bring the soil back to a healthy state. We are passionate about the soil health and we work to keep our practices sustainable and organic. We grow a variety or vegetables for our own consumption and to share with others and have a growing flower farm as well. We keep chickens for their eggs as well as the rich compost they provide. We also have kept bees in the past and enjoy watching them work to pollinate both our edible and non edible crops. < Back Edit My Profile Blue Mountain Ranch We bought our property, Blue Mountain Ranch almost 6 years ago, after searching for 20+ years.

Growing up, I didn't have the proverbial green thumb. I would flip through seed catalogs and stare longingly at houses with lovely yards, all while yearning to grow a beautiful garden of my own. I knew it was possible to do here in our arid climate as I have watched my dad and grandfather grow incredible gardens year after year. One day, several years ago, I decided to figure it out so that I could get my hands dirty and feed my passion for flowers. In 2019, this dreamer made the choice to plant a large plot of sunflowers on some of our family's land the following spring. I could never have imagined the impact those flowers made on me and the friendships that would blossom from that venture. Now, a few years down the road, I have moved the "farm" to a much smaller area on a portion of my half acre of red dirt near Zion. I am forever a student of the flowers as I learn which flourish the best in our unique growing conditions. They take a special kind of care and love to grow in the desert, and I am grateful to be here for the journey and for the joy these flowers bring not only to me, but to all who receive them.Blue Sky BloomsKimberlee HendersonUnder the blue skies and warm sunshine of the Southern Utah desert near Zion National Park, growing beautifully in the sandy red dirt, an ephemeral oasis of seasonal flowers bloom.

Emily Brooksby loves flowers, gardening, and designing. What started out as a hobby growing flowers in pots on the balcony of her first home has blossomed into a passion project and business. Her business is named after her grandmothers, and she frequently channels their work ethic and green thumb when starting new seeds or troubleshooting farm problems and challenges. While she is always growing something new each year, she will always plant her favorite flower, ranunculus! Bessie and Joyce FlowersEmily BrooksbyEmily has a small urban farm, less than 1/8 of an acre, nestled in the heart of Harvest Hills in Saratoga Springs. Despite its small size, Emily is able to grow thousands of flowers and filler every year. Rows of flowers are grown in raised beds, and the garden borders of perennials and bulbs are always free game for cutting! She is always saying this will be the last year of removing grass for a new garden bed, and then she proceeds to dig up more grass! To maximize space and extend the season, Emily creates low tunnels each year to grow spring beauties like ranunculus and anemones. She also does intensive succession planting, rotating planting areas with sunflowers, zinnias, and more. All this is done as organically as possible, with natural fertilizers and pest control solutions. Her growing season goes from early April to the end of September.
