Maria - Grower
"For me, growing equals joy. I love the entire process. From selecting flowers to grow, starting seeds, nurturing tiny seedlings and watching plants grow. Sharing these magical blooms is what Village Grown does. Growing flowers allows me to share the joy, magic and wonder of life."
Allen - Infrastructure
"Sometimes 34 years of marriage comes in handy. No farm can be successful without a person who can fix, build and design. Allen is the master of the technical tools on the farm, builder of everything used to grow, and my personal support system."
The Dream
Our tiny flower farm is located in Historic Cross Village, a quiet rural community in Northern Michigan. We grow and care for a wide variety of annual and perennial flowers on just a quarter acre of land. Our flowers are almost always grown from seed and carefully chosen for their uniqueness, color and fragrance.
At Village Grown we grow flowers seasonally, strive for farm sustainability and focus on creating a plant community that sustains all creatures, including those we compete with, rabbits and ground squirrels. Our micro-flower farm works to grow organically and intensely on a small footprint, providing a pesticide free bouquet, 100% locally grown.
In 2024 our farm is transforming to a local farm serving our local community. Our flowers will only be available in Cross Village and through delivery of event flowers. We have a temporary flower stand that is stocked daily throughout the growing season. Special requests, event florals, wedding Ala carte and DIY and simple, fun farm workshops is the new focus.
