Hey there! I'm Erica
Your local flower farmer, spreading joy one bloom at a time.
Your tractor-driving, dirt-moving, stem-slinging local flower farmer.
I’m passionate about agriculture, regenerative farming, soil conservation, and saving the pollinators (nerd alert). I’ve spent many seasons growing and tending blooms, learning the ins and outs of cut flower farming along the way. Every stem I grow carries care, knowledge, and a whole lot of love.
Fresh flowers are little pockets of joy. They turn a kitchen counter into a spot of sunshine, make bleacher-bound hours a bit sweeter, and offer a quiet moment of calm in the middle of a busy day. They’re a small, beautiful reminder that life has bright spots, even in the chaos.
Flowers celebrate the everyday wins, the little pauses, and the simple joys—you deserve that bit of beauty, and I’m here to share it with you.
Crocs and socks are my jam, cut-off tees, messy buns, and funny tan lines are my uniform. Music fuels me—currently obsessed with Forrest Frank on repeat. I’m wild, free, and full of crazy ideas, and don’t even think about telling me I can’t do something—I’ll prove you wrong. Stubborn, determined, fueled by caffeine and zero sleep, I believe on the farm there’s no “girls’ work”—all work is hard work, and we do it with heart.
Homeschooling mama of two, raising tiny humans while growing big dreams. Farm life is the best life, and I created Wendland Family Farm to spread as much joy as possible—one bloom at a time.
So happy you are here, let's bloom together!
