River Prairie Wildflowers is a one woman run farm specializing in many varieties of fresh flowers harvested from the field and placed into your hands and home. Though the name pays homage to Wildflowers, in the light of love for our Illinois prairie, the scope of this farm grows beyond wildflowers and hosts a multitude of many fresh cut beauties. I am vivaciously in love with the Earth and its inh
abitants; animals, water, land, and the capacity of creation. I am fueled by joy and grief, birth and death, our very human experiences, and the connectivity among the lot of us, our common neighbor. Beautifully enough, flowers immerse themselves in all occasions of living; they exemplify new beginnings, they are a staple for births and burials, ceremony and celebration, honor and appreciation, arrivals and departures. Flowers are indeed necessary for our survival as they are significant resources for our native pollinators like bees and butterflies. My greatest joys are in the field making the world a better place with each sown seed or soil pressed bulb, and also caring for my sheep, goats, and chickens. Fresh eggs and handmade goods are also available here in abundance at the farm. It is my hope that you may find use, joy, and comfort in anything I make with my hands and pass onto you.
