Hi! I’m Melissa and I’m bit of an accidental farmer. Originally coming from a culinary background, I was very excited to grow fresh food on the farm. Also in the mix here are chickens, sheep, ducks and my Father-in-law Reg taught me all about beekeeping and producing honey. I really loved the honey bees and the time we spent together. I began growing flowers as an extra food source for our bees and being able to cut some was a little added plus. Let’s just say after that, things escalated quickly. I fell hard and fast for flowers of all types, learning about microbes, beneficial insects and the soil food web. This was the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship with Mother Nature. Designing and arranging with flowers has been an equally as satisfying creative endeavour and I feel a great sense of honour sharing these treasures with the community.

Fairwind Flower Farm is now entering its 5th year of business and my wonderfully talented daughter in law, Jennifer has joined our team. Jennifer has a natural gift for design and has truly been my right hand over the past season. Together we are committed to creating thoughtful designs for your special moments using blooms harvested at their peak of freshness.
