Southfork Flowers
I had no idea what to expect when I contacted Christina of Southfork Flowers last spring. I knew I wanted to check out their setting and “know my farmer”. Located on the South Fork of the Salmon River, it is truly one of the last frontiers. The drive up was amazing and the drive down to the valley where they live was absolutely spectacular. Lots of dusty, narrow, roads; definitely a trek for the determined.
I was greeted with such kindness and hospitality; it felt good to be so warmly welcomed to their homestead. Christina kindly showed me her world. She and her partner, Wes, have been growing flowers for nearly a decade, organically and sustainably. Their gardens were in the early stages, and the road had just opened after being closed for the winter due to snow. The extent of their responsibilities are humbling. Things were just beginning to bloom. I definitely need to get back when the growth is in all it’s glory, which went full-force this past summer. I had only a teaser.🌱 Being an animal lover myself, there was the added bonus of some adorable donkeys, horses, dogs, a cat and chickens. What a remarkable place! 💐
