Our story

Hi, I’m Jessica. 6th generation tree fruit farmer, 1st generation flower farmer. After growing up on an apple farm in West Michigan, I moved to Northern Michigan and fell in love with a cherry farmer—the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Orchard Breeze Flower Farm was born from the strong desire (and need) to use my creative energy. I have always enjoyed getting my hands dirty, but also enjoy designing and creating. In 2016, I left my career in order to raise our family and help with the family tree fruit farming business. Years later, I was left with a shell of my former self, longing for a creative outlet and something to call my own. With strong support and encouragement, I excitedly threw myself into learning everything I could about growing cut flowers. Armed with a history of cultivating the land, a dash of optimism, and fresh knowledge gleaned from courses and books, I am pleased to have found my calling.

I’m so happy you’re here. My favorite part about growing flowers is witnessing the joy they bring to the recipient. They are a universal sign of joy and hope.
