About Us

Field to Heart began as a U cut flower garden in Snohomish County in 2013. The original idea was to create a magical experience in a garden designed and curated with flowers and foliage we loved! We installed a historic gold window frame as the entrance to the garden with a fence and trellis growing magical Cobea. Small rows of Geum, Eryingium, Southern Charm Verbascum and Lady of Shallot Roses were some of our first cuts in the garden! It was a little gem next to the organic u pick raspberry patch where we incubated our farm. Starting that u cut flower garden flipped a farming switch on that we never knew we had, beginning a new chapter of learning how to farm. Shifting our experience and knowledge of art, design and maintaining landscapes to propagation and growing plants for production.

In 2018 we bought our very own small piece of land and moved our family to Lewis County outside of Chehalis with dreams of expanding our little u cut into rows of our favorite perennials and shrubs. We’ve since learned A LOT and filter our micro farm through a mid century modern design lens. We designed our farm on a windowpane layout for efficiency. Simplicity and functionality of our crops is important for our small size, markets and desired labor input which are guiding us as we continue curating. We’ve grown the gambit, letting go of many crops that don’t fit in our framework and are still carefully selecting the ones that are better suited to our farm, which we are finding are not focal flowers but filler flowers or supporting cast members.

Our unique chalet house is at the heart of the farm and when we are not knee deep in the rows of our fields, we focus on designing the landscape around our home (that’s all harvestable, of course) as well as spending time with our family, working in the ceramic studio and playing music. We believe a garden is never fully “finished”, there’s always room to grow, revisions to make and likewise with farming there’s always ways to improve and things to learn. We continue to fine tune our farm and create a functional and profitable business with the intention of offering a magical and inspiring experience on our flower farm.

Growing Practices

Simplicity. We are small scale so our impact on local ecology isn't much but we still take the health of soil, people, plants and animals seriously. We know there are no quick fixes. That being said we use mulch, cover crop and occultation, tilling only when necessary. We practice water conservation, filtering treated water and rainwater catchment. We use OMRI products and buy in beneficial insects on occasion even though our farm is teaming with insects and birds. We test soil regularly and apply natural low impact fertilizers like bone meal and feather meal.
