Meet the Rural Stems Flower Farmer
Our story
Hi! My name is Jody, the farmer behind Rural Stems Flower Farm! What started out as a few flowers in a livestock watering trough and a vacated donkey field has now turned into my dream come true.
I grew up on a dairy and married a Dutch dairyman, so agriculture runs deep in our families. Having been to the Netherlands many times and marveling at the beauty of flowers, I decided to try my hand at growing flowers here in the low desert of Arizona.
Flowers bring me joy, and I delight in getting my hands dirty and experiencing growth from seed to harvest.
