I am a local farmer and florist in Yamhill County with a deep love for growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers that serve a purpose. My heart is to live off the land as much as possible, using the resources we’re given with care and minimal waste. I truly believe everything has a use and a purpose.A few years ago, Palmer Creek Homestead began as a small backyard growing space, built with fresh compost, a lot of hard work, and a big dream. Since then, it has grown into a working flower farm and floral studio serving the community with fresh, seasonal flowers for everyday life and meaningful moments.With guidance from an incredible florist teacher and mentor, my work has evolved to include bouquets, seasonal arrangements, corsages, boutonnieres, sprays, and wedding and funeral flowers. Today, I’m honored to create flowers for school dances, graduations, sports banquets, proms, weddings, memorials, and the many celebrations that mark life in our community.During the warmer months, I grow nearly all of the flowers I use, including dahlias, lilies, roses, gladiolus, daffodils, tulips, ranunculus, anemones, and zinnias—including Floret varieties. When something isn’t grown here, I make every effort to source locally within Yamhill County, often from other women-owned flower farms. In the winter months, I bring in fresh flowers so floral offerings remain available year-round, until the fields begin blooming again.I never spray. Instead, I focus on companion planting, beneficial insects, and creating a safe, welcoming sanctuary for bees and other pollinators. Flowers play a vital role in growing food—healthy pollinators support gardens, farms, and families throughout our area. That belief shapes everything I grow and create. In addition to fresh flowers, I offer vegetable, herb, and flower starts throughout the year. Each spring, I love sharing opportunities for others to grow their own cut flowers at home, helping more beauty—and more pollinators—take root in our community.Palmer Creek Homestead exists because of this community, and it’s a joy to continue growing, creating, and sharing flowers for the moments that matter most. Please feel free to reach out for any of your floral needs—I’m always happy to help. With Love, Jessica ♥
