OUR STORY
Pharmacist Turned Flower Farmer
After years of attending the local Farmer's Market and experiencing joy with fresh flowers in her kitchen each week, Morrisa set out to learn how to grow flowers on her own. It is her simple hope and prayer that the flowers grown at Coyote Acres will give you that same joy and peace in your heart.
ABOUT MORRISA'S FLOWER FARMING JOURNEY
You might not know that Morrisa has an agriculture and farming background in her bloodline, but she does. Morrisa's grandfather Morris spent his childhood and young adult life farming with his family in rural Girard, IL. While Morrisa is previously known for not wanting to get her hands dirty, she stumbled upon flower farming on a whim. It made sense to do something with this 20 acres, so she decided to knotch out a section for flower farming and quickly learned that returning to her family's roots was exactly what she needed.
Flower farming has been an escape from the strains of healthcare and has provided Morrisa with endless hours of joy and satisfaction in her work.
LOCALLY GROWN | FRESH CUT FLOWERS
All of our flowers are grown right here at Coyote Acres. We start preparing for our season as early as January and see it through beyond our first frost in the fall. With the help of our high tunnel we have blooms into November. In 2024 we are installing a walk in cooler to extend the life and short bloom time of flowers such as tulips and peonies. We offer "U-pick" opportunities and bouquet workshops when we have an abundance to share. Please inquire if you're looking for an event like this!
