welcome to flower street.

my grandparents lived on fowler street. but as a child i always imagined they lived on flower street.

on the outside, there was a big garden of summer vegetables. fruit and nut trees. flowers all around.

on the inside, there was always plenty of love and nourishment for whoever walked in the door.

so much of what i believe and hope to practice about food and hospitality feels rooted on fowler street.

yet i am also on a farming journey of finding my own way.

so in attempt to honor the people and places i come from, while staying true to my own creative spirit, i call this new venture: flower street farm.

i will be growing vegetables and flowers on land leased from the good people at lazy turtle farm, outside of hillsborough, north carolina.

it is with gratitude and hope that i begin to touch the soil. that i sow the first seeds. that i wait for what will grow.
