Summer 2023 - Beeworthy buzz issue no. 7
Happenings & Updates from the Farm
June - We brightened the June gloom with carts of fresh, colorful flowers from the field! We also launched and 100% funded our Kiva loan and couldn’t be more grateful or feel more honored. Thank you to all you lenders out there for the wonderful opportunity!
July - New design studio & workshop space progress began in the new container! Once the design studio and work shop space is dialed in....we'll have a great space to host y'all! Calling all florists and designers - would you like to co-host with us? Reach out and let us know what kind of workshops or classes inspire you!
August - We were grateful to have the FoodShed apprentices visit our farm and see the joy and magic flowers bring to a farm operation! Saving seed together, as a community, just felt like the right task to do. We are happy to be harvesting gorgeous Dahlia flowers and more despite late starts this season!
Exciting Things Ahead
We made the finals for the San Diego Reader’s Best San Diego Farm. The deadline for daily voting ends on September 7, vote today!
