The Roots We Grow By: Core Values

Hard work blooms beautiful things.

Wendland Family Farm Core Values

Rooted in hard work, heart, and the beauty of growing something real.

Make a friend, not a sale.
Our farm is built on connection. We value people over profit, always. Every bouquet, every visit, every handshake is a chance to make a new friend and serve our community with kindness.
Do it right the first time.
We don’t take shortcuts. Whether it’s planting seeds, pulling weeds, or wrapping a bouquet — we take pride in our work and do it the right way, every time.
Grow real relationships.
We care deeply about the people around us — our team, our customers, and our community. Being kind, genuine, and uplifting matters here.
How we do one thing is how we do everything.
From the tiniest task to the biggest project, we give it our full effort and heart. Integrity shows up in the small things first.
Lead with example and gratitude.
We aim to live the way we want our families and community to see — with faith, joy, and hard work. The best way to lead is by showing up fully, humbly, and with love.
Take ownership.
We take responsibility for our actions and our words. If something needs fixed, we fix it. If something needs done, we do it. We see every task through until it’s finished.
Show up and stay steady.
Discipline matters. We show up even when it’s hot, muddy, or hard. We stay self-motivated, efficient, and work in harmony with each other and with nature.
See a need, fill it.
We don’t wait to be told. If there’s work to be done, a mess to clean, or a neighbor who needs help — we jump in. That’s what community is all about.
Bring good energy.
No matter the weather, the bugs, or the chaos — we stay positive and grateful. Enthusiasm is contagious, and we choose to bring the sunshine.
Give more than you take. Be selfless.
We believe in generosity. We give our time, talents, and hearts freely. We make decisions that serve people, our farm, and the earth — because when we give more, everything grows better.

At Wendland Family Farm, these aren’t just words on paper — they’re the way we live, work, and grow every day. We’re not chasing perfection; we’re chasing purpose, joy, and a life full of blooms.

Rooted in values, blooming with purpose.

We don’t just grow flowers, we grow connections.

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!
