5 flower farmers to follow
Recently one of our amazing Ontario flower farmers was by the shop dropping of some gorgeous buckets of blooms. She introduced me to her assistant, saying that she was " helping out at the farm, learning the ropes" to which I could only reply " good lord, you mean- she's living the dream!"
Thanks to social media, we can all take in the beautiful fields of flowers, artful pickup truck beds filled with buckets and summer bloom closeups that these hardworking farmers get to work in, but without going through all the slogging through the pouring rain, getting our trucks stuck in fields of mud, and enduring the heartbreaking, crop ruining changes in weather.
Here are 5 of our current favourites to follow ( click on their names to see their beautiful instagram feeds):
Antonio Valente Flowers
This guy is the sweetest. So gentle and so humble, Antonio's micro farm is just north of the city. We interviewed him a while back, you can read that post here.
