The kids were home for the weekend, and I thought we were making the most of our time together. We shared meals, went about our days, and settled into familiar routines. But as they packed up to leave, I realized something important had been missing all along. Sometimes the busiest part of life isn't what steals our attention—it's the habits we don't even notice
When both of our kids came home for the weekend, the farm felt a little fuller—and the kitchen became a lot more complicated. Between picky eaters, apartment hunting in New York City, and the daily challenges of growing flowers, I found myself reflecting on how often flexibility matters in both farming and life.
Certain flowers have the power to instantly transport us back to childhood gardens, loved ones, and special moments in life. In this heartfelt story from our Cape May flower farm, we reflect on how flowers create memories that stay with us for generations and why visiting a local flower farm is an experience everyone should have.
After years of constantly building, fixing, and trying to stay one step ahead on the flower farm, this spring feels a little different. Between blooming peonies, morning walks through the fields, and a slightly unexpected decision to take up golf, I’ve been thinking a lot about hobbies, slowing down, and learning how to enjoy the life you worked so hard to create.
Fresh flowers aren’t meant to last forever — but with a few simple care tips, you can enjoy them much longer. In this post, Seashore Flower Farm shares easy ways to keep flowers fresh naturally, why farm-grown flowers evolve in the vase, and how to enjoy every last stem throughout your home.
What a ten-day visit with our grand-dog taught me about slow living, community in West Cape May, and why choosing locally grown flowers is about more than just bouquets.
One week before Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to skip the last-minute gifts and choose something meaningful. Our Cape May flower farm’s mini spring bouquet subscription offers four weeks of locally grown tulips and ranunculus—plus a limited heart-shaped ornament bonus.
A late-night apartment fire scare in NYC reminds this Cape May flower farmer just how important safe housing, first responders, and strong support systems truly are.
Moving our youngest daughter into her first Manhattan apartment took six adults, a bike-riding friend, a lot of IKEA-style assembly, and just a little bit of chaos. A funny, heartfelt NYC family story.
This weekend we moved our youngest to New York City—and before the boxes and furniture, there was a train ride, a mistaken identity, some very public tip math, and a reminder that every season of life (and farming) comes with its own rhythm.
