Sadness and Happiness all at once

It is with a sad heart that I have to say I will not be attending the Kentville Farmers Market as a vendor this year. This is so I can pursue my flower dreams fully and move into arranging more wedding flowers and  fresh cut bouquets. I will continue to support the Kentville Farmers Market as a customer and hope that you do too, as there are many amazing vendors there each Wednesday (rain or shine) and I am proud to have been apart of something local and amazing for our community! If there are things my Valley customers needs; be it flowers, fruit leather or veggies, you only need ask.

 Thank you, 

Amanda

The Future is Bright and The Flowers Fresh:)

Seed Portraits

These seeds are the lifeblood to my farm. Without them I can not grow, and through my pictures I was able to appreciate them more. All of their different sizes, color, textures and personality. It is like looking at old friends, ones that I see every few weeks as I pour them into my hand seeder and sow them into the earth during the growing season. 

When I started farming, I never forgot the feeling of it being a miracle every time you planted something. You wait in bated breath that they will germinate. It could take days or weeks to see something happen. Most of the time they do sprout, and abundantly. But it is that hope you feel, the hope that keeps you going. It is in the tiny emerging leaves that the magic doesn't end and hope for Spring begins.
