Three Reasons to buy a Shady Hill Flower Subscription
Boost your Mood
Giving or getting flowers can be an amazing mood-booster. Research by a state university in NJ shows that flowers have an immediate and long-term positive effect on our emotional well-being. People who receive flowers feel less anxious, depressed, and agitated, and feel more satisfaction and enjoyment in life. So, if you want to give someone a unique and thoughtful gift or just want to perk yourself up, Shady Hill flowers can be a great choice!
Flowers Good for the Environment
"Save the Bees!", but how? We are figuring that out too. For now, we are avoiding all pesticides and herbicides harmful to friendly insects and intentionally planting pollinator-friendly flowers to give space for them to do their thing. We are improving our soil health by using compost and in the off-season planting a cover crop to lock in good nutrients and keep the soil from washing away in storms. These are flowers you can feel good about gifting. Leave the painted flowers shipped from far away alone in the store and get a Shady Hill subscription.
Directly Support Our Family
We're a family of four, including Ashley, Chris, little PJ, and Truett. I recently read this quote that said, "If you quit shopping at the grocery store, they wouldn't notice you were gone, but if you started shopping at a farmer's market, you'd change a farmer's life and maybe even save the farm." It really struck a chord with me, and I can't help but feel emotional about the work we put in. We absolutely love what we do - farming is our passion, and it's how we support ourselves. But we need your help to keep things going! We don't have any middlemen or conventional contracts - it's just us and you. So we really appreciate it when you buy our flowers, pasture-raised chicken, and wreaths. Thank you so much for supporting our farm!
