ing through her self-serve flower stand, bouquet subscriptions, events and local markets.
Returning to local sales also means spending more time with the community that has supported Beezie’ s Blooms from the beginning.
“ We wouldn’ t be here today without the support of our community,” Greiner said.“ We are so appreciative of it all, and we feel really blessed and grateful.”
“ My goal moving forward is to really try to stay rooted in community,” she added.“ I want to provide a space where people can come for any reason.” That vision inspired the farm’ s U-Pick experience. Beezie’ s Blooms has created a designated field where visitors can cut their own flowers. No reservations are required. Guests simply stop at the farm stand, pay the fee and gather their supplies.
The cost is $ 25 for a mason jar of flowers or $ 10 per child for a cup of flowers.
The U-Pick field is open daily from sunrise to sunset.
Beezie’ s Blooms was recognized as the Mille Lacs County Farm Family of the Year during the Mille Lacs County Fair on Friday, Aug. 7.
The farm is located at 10991 Pioneer Drive in Milaca. To learn more, visit beeziesblooms. com.
