Forrester Farm Blooming Bigger...

Our little flower farm began with a dream, a few flower seeds and a desire to share beauty with my family and others....

Having a booth at the Rockford Farmer's Market, word about our flowers spread and we began servicing brides for their most special day...
Along the way, horses, chickens, ducks and a bunny were added....
And the fencing and housing they required...
We've had interns from as close as Rockford and as far away as France...
All along, growing flowers and sharing with others...
Including retail customers at locations such as Heffron Farms Market...
 ...and both Whole Foods Markets in Ann Arbor! (back of car at delivery dock)
...and amazing couples and wonderful corporate clients!
We now have an opportunity to grow into an additional farm location that will  allow space for a you-cut flower garden, bridal- and community-floral classes and small events including farm to table dinners by local chefs.  We are asking for your help!  For exactly 1 week, starting today, we have our "idea" submitted to the Start Garden team for funding consideration.  There are two ways to receiving funding.  The Start Garden team chooses your idea OR you receive the majority of endorsements from the voting public (that's you!!!).  Would you please take a moment to look at the "ideas" that are presented this week, and if you like the Forrester Farm idea the best... vote! 
And we will celebrate in style!
To get started - go to the Start Garden site at http://startgarden.com. Log in with facebook and see and endorse the 1 "idea" that you think is best!  (Hopefully ours!)
