Flowers & Starts
“Our philosophy guides us on a daily basis. We have pride in what we produce and how we produce it. Yet we continue to learn how we can better contribute to the community while supporting ourselves. Mother Nature and our local economy keep us on our toes, while our philology guides us into the future,” said Deena Miller who farms three acres with her partner, Robbie Martin.
