This spring, Wendland Family Farm and 10:4 Farm are coming together to host a workshop focused on the foundations of a successful garden season. Rooted in practical experience and a passion for sharing knowledge, this gathering is about slowing down, planning well, and growing together as a community.

Before the first seed is planted, there’s a quieter kind of work that happens—one rooted in intention, pace, and purpose. This is the part of the season no one sees, but everything depends on it.

Where We Grow: The Stories Behind the Adventures is a four-book children’s collection rooted in family, seasons, faith, and the slow, unseen work of becoming. Written to be read slowly and returned to often, these stories invite children and grown-ups alike to notice the small moments that shape a life—and to grow together along the way.

But that’s the thing about beginnings… God sees what they’ll become long before we do. I planted unsure, but He grew something in me long before anything bloomed in the field.

At Wendland Family Farm, every bouquet begins long before the clippers come out. Sunrise starts with checking tiny seedlings, tending the rows, and working with nature to keep the farm thriving. By mid-morning, the fields burst with color as fresh blooms are harvested at just the right moment. Each stem is grown with intention, arranged with heart, and shared with the community we love. Behind every bouquet is a day of passion, hard work, and the simple joy of watching someth
