Our Jubilee Season

We sowed the first seeds in this soil in 1995. That’s 30 years of stewarding the land and sharing fresh cut flowers with our community. In celebration of this milestone, we will be holding a season of Jubilee from June, 2025 to February, 2027. The farm will not be in operation during this time. The land will be at rest, making space for rejuvenation and sustainability when the farm gate reopens.

Historically, a Jubilee is a sacred time of letting go. A period where each returned to their own - liberation, rest, and joy rooted in deep spiritual significance. These happened every 50 years, so we’re taking ours a bit early- but hey, it’s time.

We would not be able to do this without having received unwavering support from our Lynchburg community over the past 30 years. We still see folks at our farm who purchased bouquets from us at the downtown market so many years ago. We feel incredibly grateful  to have a loyal community who values our work and our flowers.

We want to acknowledge the people who took care of this land before us, without whom we would not be here today. Thank you to our ancestor, Benjamin Franklin Moomaw, the farmers who tended this soil before him, and the members of the Monacan Nation who were the land’s original caretakers.

The farm is a living entity, herself. Bigger than any one farmer, or family, she envelopes all the life that coexists here. We feel blessed to bear witness to her cycles and to be completely at her whim. In this season, we will focus on replenishing the soils, sequestering carbon, and fostering a habitat for life to thrive.

To celebrate 30 years and our Jubilee, we will be gathering at the farm on Saturday, May 31st. We invite you all to join us in the garden, where we will enjoy good food, live music, and of course, lots of flowers. We will see y’all there. Thank you!
