February 12, 2026

I know I haven't really been posting about the farmstand and what's available but a big thanks to those messaging me to ask what's up and reminding me to update.

The farmstand is open 10-5 daily right now. It has:

-little dried bouquets

-dried arrangements (some in Hockinson Pottery)

-farm made soap, bath fizzies, and candles

-Barn Dog shirts/hats/stickers

-Chappelle Farms honey (sooo good!)

-chocolate/cards

-ranunculus corms

-free community bookshelf/swap

With Valentine's next Saturday, we will have oodles of goodies for gifting AND you can pop online and grab an egift card that can be used all season long for anything in the farmstand or at our booth at the Salmon Creek Farmers Market. This month, 50% of egift cert sales will go to Clark County YWCA.  

Egift certs can be sent directly to the recipient via email or text and you can schedule when you want it delivered OR you can send it to yourself, print it, and pop it in a card. All gift certs can be reloaded at any time. 

If you're interested in a plastic Barn Dog Gift card please send me a private message!

As always, thanks so much for your support over the years. Nothing makes us happier than growing for you!

❤️

Peekaboo! I miss you!

I miss these bodacious blooms and miss seeing so many of you. As we head into the shortest, darkest days of the year, it means we're only a few days aways from the increasing light. Days will slowly be getting longer and I think that'll be a good thing.

Quite a few of you have reached out asking about the farmstand and yes, it's still open from 9-5 with goodies. Honey, soap, tshirts, hats, holiday cards, etc. It's still a source of joy for me daily, but I'm just not in the mood for the marketing hype this week. Thanks so much to those of you who've been keeping us afloat in the offseason and popping in even when I don't post updates. You know who you are and we appreciate you all.

The lil food pantry is full so please, please feel free to take what you need from the pantry shelves. We all have different circumstances and there is zero judgement. If you're wanting to donate food items, all overflow in the farmstand is taken to North County Community Food Bank in Battle Ground. Thank you to all those who have kept the pantry going and to those of you who have been open to receiving care.

Things have felt heavy in many aspects of our lives lately and the kindness and generousity we continue to witness is the light we need right now. Thank you!

“Just as one candle lights another and can light thousands of other candles, so one heart illuminates another heart and can illuminate thousands of other hearts.”

"What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?"

-Rousseau

It's World Kindness Day and I didn't even know until this afternoon! It was the perfect day for it, though, because I had the fortune of hanging out in the farmstand this morning with one of the kindest, most talented people I know. Nicole of @teowchocolat. If you haven't seen her handcrafted chocolates, you must. If my mother calls them "absolutely exquisite" you know they are! You can find some of her gorgeous boxes in the farmstand and online. 

Not only did she deliver the chocolat, but she also came with a bag of food for the community pantry. Too sweet! So, a reminder that anyone is welcome to stop in and take what they need from the pantry shelves. If you're looking for a place to donate, feel free to leave non-perishable items in the farmstand and when we run out of room, we'll take the extra to the North Clark County Food Bank in Battle Ground.

As for other farmstand offerings, we have flowers stocked today. Bundles of mums, some arrangements in glass, and some mini jars of blooms perfect for gifting on a day of kindness! Chocolates; honey from Chappelle Farms; local art by @shannonelleart, @thecraftyweebothy, and @katrina40garcia (Kathryn by Design); rustic farm soap & bath fizzies, Barn Dog FF hats & tshirts AND the free community book corner. Hoping to have fresh euc bundles out Friday (as soon as one of the kids helps me chainsaw down one of the eucs).

Stay kind, y'all. Or for those who are workin' on it, you can do it!

It's another gorgeous day. The farmstand is open and stocked.

Flowers, new soap & bath fizzies, honey, Missionary chocolates, dog treats, t-shirts (on sale!), and more! 

Take care, friends.

Friends! I'm back on the farm. Thanks for your patience while I slipped away to check on family. I'm hoping to have fresh flowers out a little later today but I'm trying to get my bearings. So much to do and "reset" for the week. Losing a few days throws me off for sure.

First thing is first. A farm walk to see if we had wind damage and to assess what's harvestable for farmers market tomorrow. The good news is I twisted someone's arm and they harvested some dahlias for me last night while I was away so the stems should be nice and conditioned for this morning. 

Again, no flowers out right away this morning. Stay tuned as I'll post stories when they're available. 

Reminder that fall farmstand hours are now 9-7.

Thanks, again, for your patience and understanding.

Full restock of mixed market bouquets happened at 10:16. Thanks for all the love and enthusiasm this morning!

Morning sunbeam joy. Wrapped in the sound of birdsong and last night's rain drops dripping off the firs. Perfection.

Market bouquets are in the shed. Will be adding arrangements. Keep an eye on stories for those. 

Also, find aronia berries in the farmstand cooler along with some other goodies!

Off to the @salmoncreekfarmersmarket today from 11-3. Will be bring tons of market bouqs, mason jar arrangements, some sweet peas, single bunch varieties of a few blooms, and tshirts.

A reminder that you get $1 credit on your next purchase for returning a mason jar with a Barn Dog tag.

If you can't make it to the market, the farmstand is filled to the brim with market bouqs and mason jar arrangements. Opened early today (7:30qm).

See some of you soon!

Abundance in the farmstand today! Swing by from 8-8 to check it out! Market bouqs, mason jars, and loads of single variety bunches.

Also, big thanks to everyone who came out to say hello at the farmers market. It was another heart filling day. I love visiting with you all. So many hugs. Thank you.

It's an exciting say here because after a month away, my husband is coming home today (it's actually been five days). I can't wait to show him the batteries on the golf cart that were trying to catch fire and the new zone of irrigation that needs to be constructed. 😆🫠 Oh, and to see his sweet face.

Yay!

Thursday in the farmstand is BONKERS! Bonkers.

It may be impossible to squeeze another bouquet in the stand right now. It hasn't been this full in ages!

You should definitely check it out! Should be overflowing all weekend.

Peony bunches and market bouquets in the farmstand today.

It's cold and rainy and it looks like it will be for a solid week. It's making it hard on the zinnia seedlings which really should have been in the ground last week. The weather never fails to keep us humble and questioning if we're on schedule.

Regardless of the bone chilling damp in the field, the farmstand is cozy. You can find some straight peony bunches and $30 market bouquets (as of 9:30am) and I'm working to make some mason jars before noon.

A note about pricing. All prices in the farmstand include Brush Prairie sales tax (7.8%) already wrapped up in price to keep the math simple and the loose change to a minimum.

For instance, a $30 bouquet is $27.83 and the tax brings it to an even $30. While you might be able to find cheaper flowers at Trader Joe's, our flowers have zero travel miles. Zero icky chemical residue. They are generally harvested within 24 hours of going home with customers and nearly every dollar made from a bouquet goes back into production and stays in our local, regional economy.

The business that receive our flower dollars include amendments and fertilizers at @concentrates_nw, to integrated pest management needs from @evergreengrowerssupply, regionally adapted seed from @adaptive_seeds, @uprising.seeds, and @territorialseedcompany, to compost from just up I-5, trucking from local companies (Outlaw is our neighbor), to local printing at @opakescreenprinting, pottery from @hockinsonpotteryworks and @sipandspinpotteryco, cards by @katrina40garcia, art by @thecraftyweebothy, ingredients for our bath supplies purchased in Oregon City at @shayandcompany, and more. There is so much value in supporting our local economy and I'm incredibly grateful for all of you who support small farms and choose local flowers.

Thank you!

Hey, friends! What a dizzying day. You've kept me so busy and I love it! I got the chance to restock around 4:15 with some cute mason jar arrangements, a few bigger ones, geum bunches, and those stunning Itoh peonies (they're short-lived but oh-so-gorgeous!). I’m thinking about throwing in some small bunches of coral peonies that will open up quickly. Interested? They’d be a perfect pop of color for the last night of the local play!

As for Sunday, I’m pretty wiped out and the cooler is nearly empty! I won’t be able to promise big flower bundles, but we’ll be open at 8 AM for gifts, cards, and, of course, lettuce (because moms love lettuce!). If I have a few flowers here and there, I’ll add them in, but no guarantees.

Wishing everyone an amazing Mother’s Day! I’m planning to take it easy and spend some quality time with my guys.

Much love and endless gratitude for the past two days. You all are incredible! 

❤️

It's 6:15pm on Friday, and our farmstand was restocked around 5:15pm. This will be the last restock until we open again tomorrow at 8am. We’ll be open until 8pm, and we’re excited to offer plenty of choices!

Many of you have asked about our availability for Sunday, and while I hope to have bouquets available, it will depend on how quickly the peonies bloom and how busy we are tomorrow. I will update tomorrow afternoon to let everyone know how Sunday's flower availability is looking.

Since 5am, I’ve been joyfully arranging, restocking, and harvesting peonies. It’s been a pleasure to connect with so many of you today even if only a quick hello. Our customers come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, and I cherish these moments of connection. I often imagine each person as a child—being held by a parent or learning something new—and it fills me with compassion for the wonderful stories we all carry. I recognize that holidays like Mother’s Day can be complex for some, and many customers come to buy flowers for themselves, which is perfectly valid and celebrated.

No matter our individual journeys, I feel deeply grateful that so many of you choose to include us in your expressions of love and gratitude. 

Thank you for supporting small farms and choosing local flowers this Mother’s Day weekend. We appreciate you!

Mother's Day bouquets are in the farmstand. Thanks to all those early birds who have already got us rockin' and rolling! We're going to do our best to keep it stocked through Sunday but I can't make any promises. Luckily, we're still harvesting peonies every couple of hours on these sunny days! It keeps me in my toes, but it's thrilling!

So, if you're looking for flowers for the mother figures in your lives, we're open 8am-8pm.

We take Venmo, Cash/Check, Paypal, or I can invoice through Square (working on making that option easier).

Address:

11926 NE 212th NE 212th Ave, Brush Prairie

Not far off Ward Rd/182nd Av (east of 182nd)

Hi friends!

Spring has sprung and we have some updates! With Mother’s Day just a week away, it means it’s time to spoil the incredible moms in our lives. I can’t think of a better way than with love and flowers. Here’s how we can help.

🌷 Mother's Day Bouquets 🌷

Like last year, we're going to keep it simple with $40 bundles and various arrangements for the weekend. First come, first served in the farmstand Friday-Sunday. We are just on the cusp of our big coral peonies blooming and I'm on pins and needles in anticipation. If they don't look like they'll make it in time for the weekend, I will supplement our bouquets with blooms from a local grower like I did last year. We have so much gorgeous foliage and supporting blooms, so stay tuned!

The farmstand will also have dried flowers, Mother's Day cards, soaps, a restock of bath fizzies, Barn Dog tshirts (new shirts coming soon-but not sure when), and other gifties. Bloom Bucks in $10 increments available online as well as market bouquet certificates (on special!).

🎉 Special Offer: Market Bouquet Certificates 🎉

In addition to bouquets and farmstand goods, we are excited to offer market bouquet certificates at 10% off! They can be purchased individually or in bundles (the more in the bundle, the more you save). These certificates can be used at our farmstand or at the Salmon Creek Farmers Market, which will be held at Legacy Hospital starting JUNE 12 and running through OCTOBER 2. Join us every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for fresh flowers straight from our farm!

Use code: Mom2025 on our website at checkout. Order before 5/6 if you'd like us to drop them in the mail. For those wanting to pick them up in the farmstand, we can have them ready within a couple of hours of ordering. Just leave a note in your order or send us a message to arrange to pick up any time this week between 8am-8pm.

🌻 A Season Full of Blooms 🌻

Looking ahead, we’re anticipating a spectacular season filled with an abundance blooms. We're looking forward to peonies, sunflowers, zinnias, dahlias, mums, and much more! Each bloom is nurtured with care, and we can’t wait to share these beautiful flowers with you throughout the summer and into the fall.

Thank you so much your continued support, we look forward to seeing you at our farmstand and the Salmon Creek Farmers Market. Let’s make this season one to remember!

Warmly,

Sarah

Wow! I've been terrible about updating the farmstand page on the website. Just know the farmstand is open from 8-8 daily unless posted here and that there's always something to find. Gifts, flowers, eggs, maybe some veg.

Right now we have lovely lettuce (bag your own), some eggs, and some straight bunches of flowers (no mixed bouquets right now).

Market bouquet certificate holders, feel free to use your certs on anything up to a $25 value.

Wishing everyone a lovely week! 

What a beautifully full day! I arranged flowers allll morning and afternoon. So busy, but loved every minute of it. As I explained to a customer at the farmstand this morning, I'm still in disbelief every day by the support of the community. Is this all for real?

After a few restocks of the farmstand, I went to the field and harvested so the farmstand will be full for Easter day as well.

Thank you for the love and for allowing me to do what I love most, growing!

Happy Easter weekend!
