O u r S t o r y

Welcome Friend,

I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to share a little about who we are and how Flourish Farmstead came to be.

Our story began in a deeply difficult season. In 2010, we experienced the heartbreaking loss of our son, Jadrian, who was born with congenital heart disease. Though his time with us was brief—just two years—his life forever shaped our hearts.

As I moved through the journey of grief, a vision began to form: to create a flower garden in my son’s memory—a place of beauty, healing, and hope.

At the time, the dream felt far beyond reach. We didn’t yet have the land, resources, or a clear plan, but I held the vision close, trusting that the right time would come.

That time arrived in 2023. We marked out the plot and build the first flower beds, I was overjoyed to see my dream taking shape! Those first blooms brought such joy, but they also came with a steep learning curve—soil health, pests, diseases, and discovering what best thrives in our short growing season. The more I learned, the more I fell in love with growing flowers.

There is something comforting about working in nature: hands in the soil, seeds tucked into the earth, watching them sprout and burst into color. Butterflies flitting, warm sunshine on my face, vibrant diversity all around. Nature became a balm for my soul—a place to find healing, renewal, and hope.

My husband, Steve, and our seven beautiful children have been my greatest cheerleaders, helping bring this vision to life. In 2025, we opened our roadside flower stand, so we could share the beauty of flowers with our community.

Maybe you, too, need a reprieve from the busy demands of life. Or perhaps you’re walking through a dark season, wondering  if you’ll ever feel joy again. I invite you to come to the garden. Sit for a while, surrounded by blooms. Let the peace and serenity of nature soothe your heart.

And if you’d like, take home a bouquet—or share one with a friend—and carry a piece of this beauty into your own home.

With love and blessings,
Esther
