It’s hard to say where this story starts...
How an adventure-bound kid (Andy) from Pennsylvania meets a ranch girl (Loni) from North Dakota on a remote dock in southeast Alaska and the two grow old raising gorgeous flowers for a living is quite a tale.
Needless to say… our story is long and beautiful.
But one thing’s for sure…
We come from the land… and we end up right back in it.
We might as well have fun with it.
That’s where Terra (another word for land) Farms comes in.
Its story starts with a bit of whim.
Loni has always been a vivid-eyed gardener with the creative eye that would make Picasso jealous. As for Andy, well… Andy likes to play in the dirt.
That’s why when the young married couple came across a farm house built in 1858 and 40 acres of land, they knew they found their “forever home.” The land was screaming to tell its tale.
The property just needed an artist.
A family of four would be perfect.
Today, well, things have grown.
Terra Farms is now the area’s leading floral grower, supplying the region with beautiful blooms… and countless smiles.
It’s u-pick attracts thousands of eager floral enthusiasts each year. The farm’s floristry work can be seen at dozens of weddings and special events, through all the seasons. And, every day, local florists are lining up to get the freshest, professionally grown flowers in the region.
There’s even an Inn, where the farm welcomes visitors from all over the world.
It’s a wonderful thing.
Andy and Loni are in charge of the place, but their two kids run the show. They can be found directing the action in the flower fields… if they’re not too busy loving life with their toes in the creek and their butts in the mud.
But truly, the land is the real story.
This land changes minds, changes lives and changes attitudes.
Get engaged on the farm (it happens all the time). Cut your flowers here. Or climb to the old pear tree up on the hill and stare at the land.
Just be sure to share your story… and make it part of ours.
