PolkaDotted Farm

Come grab some flowers and check out all the other amazing vendors at the Railcar Farmers Market of Van Alstyne this afternoon! We are very grateful for a small harvest last night after all the rain and storms, so we will have just a few of our recycled jar bouquets and some zinnia bunches. 🌸 See y’all there!!!

We finally have bouquets coming out of the field! We are hoping for sunny days so the field dries out and the flowers keep growing. Last night we thankfully had no farm damage, but our trampoline at the house flew into our swingset and caused major damage, gratefully all things that can be replaced. We are going to be at the in VanAlstyne Tuesday for the first time and hope to see y’all there!

While traveling I find myself looking in every flower bed for inspiration. We are on our way to the Odyssey of the Mind World competition for our oldest and stopped at the cutest Amish store with the most beautiful landscaping. This bed smelled as good as it looked with the gorgeous peonies! What things do you notice when traveling that others maybe don’t?

I promise our flowers are coming! We will be posting all the ways you can find our flowers early next week!

Happy Spring Equinox and first day of spring! After a chilly night, we are grateful for the promise of longer and warmer days ahead. Spring is such a fun time on the farm, everyday brings growth and new beginnings. What are you excited to see grow this spring?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our farm and family to yours!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! We are so grateful for our family, friends, and community that have supported our farm this year.

Hi flower friends! We are still here, we took a few weeks to rest with all the heat but we are back in the fields and thankful for the cool off and some rain.
The last few days though we’ve been in rescue mode. This tiny little baby showed up on the farm Sunday all alone and in need. After watching for hours for momma to show up, we knew it was either we took the baby in or a predator would find it. Welcome to PolkaDotted Farm sweet kitten! We’ve made it through five nights of bottle feedings and are grateful to see steady weight gain and the feistiest little personality emerging. There’s no name yet because despite the numerous videos we’ve watched, we aren’t sure of the gender. 😆 It is not easy to tell at all! I think we need to come up with a flower name once we are settled with boy or girl.
Work is slowly getting done in the field and we will have some arrangements available soon. Who needs some flowers to celebrate the beginning of fall?

It’s birthday month at our farm. 🥳 This week we started off strong two of our girls birthdays, plus we’ve had the pleasure to celebrate with 3 other friends at their parties.

These beauties were for a college friend’s birthday yesterday. We put together a flower bar for her party and these were the “leftovers”. Everyone had fun making their own arrangement to take home.

We hope you all are staying cool and wish all the kiddos going back to school a happy first day!

Celosia is thriving in this heat! These bright plumes help make our bouquets really pop! This flower farmer is not necessarily thriving in the heat, but I’m trying to make the best of the coolest times on the farm and drinking ALL the water! How are you handling the heat?

It’s hot out here but the flowers are thankfully still growing! We’ve definitely lost a few varieties to the heat, but the field is still churning out beautiful bouquets and new flowers for fall are growing!

Our family has had a rough week this week with illness, so we won’t be at market this weekend, but we will be back with lots of flowers for you all next week!

We are excited to be at TWO markets this weekend. Saturday morning we will be at the Richardson Farmers Market from 9-1 and Sunday we will be at The Market at Luscombe Farm 11-3. Come see us and all the other amazing vendors and get some flowers!

Happy July 4th! 🇺🇸 we are spending the day with framily and thankful for the cooler days and a little rain last night. ❤️🤍💙

Well friends, our market made the decision to close this week due to the extreme heat, and we get it, it’s hot out there, but my field hasn’t been given the notice! We still need to harvest and sell these flowers! We will have flowers available tomorrow evening and Saturday morning, message us for details! Your kitchen table will look so pretty with these flowers on it!!!!

We are so grateful our fields made it through the major storms that went through last night. We have spent the day trimming and pulling things that were damaged and will spend the rest of the evening adding more supports. We will let the field rest this weekend with a good feed and then will be back to harvesting Monday! We appreciate everyone that’s checked in on us today. We sure love our community!

This year I have a problem with these cosmos, I have too many! I can’t possibly cut them fast enough. On Saturday we cut off every bloom and open bud. We cut deep to get rid of old foliage. And 4 days later we are right back to where we started! You can swipe to see Saturday when I cut them all back and then today with all the new blooms. I am in love with these flowers so I’m not sad we have so many, but I need to figure out how to use more of them!

Celosia has made its grand entrance and I am here for it! This year we are growing some from , , and . I am loving the colors and shapes! I have learned I LOVE bright colors and I find them easiest to work with. I am trying to grow more pastels this year, some of these celosia were a more muted color set, but I still end up loving the brighter colors in the mix! These will be in bouquets tomorrow at for Sunday Market!

Welcome to the farm rudbeckia! We have 5 varieties growing for the first time on the farm this year and I am so excited about it. It will add so much to our bouquets this summer!

Our flowers have made their way to Euless! Stop by for amazing gluten free treats and grab a bouquet!

Today would have been my momma’s 75th birthday. I think deep down when I started this farm it was to connect with my memories of my mom a little more. She loved sunflowers, her bedroom was decorated with them, although her favorite flower was a daisy. This year I have started some daisies that will be perennial and will remind me of her even more. Her favorite color combo seemed to be yellow and blue, so this bouquet spoke to me as one she would love! Often flowers have that effect of reminding us of special people or times in our lives. Do you have flowers that remind you of loved ones or moments in your life? I think that’s what makes flower farming so special to me and I’m grateful everyday for this farm and this opportunity to help others remember and honor those memories.

We are wishing all our local Anna Coyotes a happy summer and a special congrats to all the seniors that graduated last night! Y’all worked hard and we wish you a bright future wherever your path leads you!

Look at these gorgeous cosmos! I am enthralled with how light and airy they are! The field is really starting to churn out flowers, we will have bouquets this Sunday at The Market at Luscombe Farm.

Tiny little bouquet of the first of summer headed to bring a smile to a friend. It smells like heaven, which is apparently cinnamon basil for me, and I am SO ready for these rows to pop! We are in talks to add 2 more markets to give you more opportunities to get you hands on these flowers, we can’t wait!

When an unexpected plant shows up in your garden, they are often called volunteers. I am loving this sweet zinnia volunteer in my statice bed. We have lots of volunteer zinnias, celosia, and gomphrena all around the farm. They are mostly welcomed and many are allowed to stay. Maybe I should start working on clearing out beds sooner and keeping flowers from going to seed, but for now I’m grateful for the story they tell of past summers and the help they provide to fill bouquets.

My middle daughter’s favorite color is blue, so she is loving our new forget me nots! I have never grown blue flowers so these are such a treat! The stems are getting longer with each cut, the next blooms should be tall enough for bouquets! We are crossing all our fingers and toes that we will have bouquets Mother’s Day at The Market 🤞🏻! This is the hardest part of spring, waiting for enough blooms for that first bouquet!

We have more and more color showing up everyday! This is another new to the farm flower, yarrow! It blooms the gorgeous little clusters of flowers in a beautiful range of colors from bright to pastel. We are just a couple more weeks away from making bouquets. This Texas weather has been confusing my flowers, but we are grateful for the rain today that will help them grow!

My first tiny bunch from the field! This is kind of a new to us flower this year, I grew them my first year, in 2020, but they barely got started before it got too hot. We hadn’t gotten around to trying them again until now. They are a cool flower and will be gone when it heats up, so we are going to enjoy them now! There are so many buds ready to pop! The rest of the field still looks several weeks away from blooms, but picking a little bunch this evening was so good for my soul!

My husband and I just got back from a weekend in Pawhuska, Oklahoma celebrating our anniversary. We had so much fun visiting all of Pioneer Woman’s businesses, and we ate so much food! The recent renovations left the Mercantile beautiful and covered in some of the prettiest faux flowers I’ve ever seen. It was a great weekend to celebrate 17 years together, and now I’m glad to back with my babies (both humans and flowers)!

The sun is setting on winter tonight. It’s been a weekend of hard work and it feels so good. We are getting to finally see the efforts we’ve been putting in for over a year. Tomorrow the weather will start its warm up and I will be able to start planting. So soon the field will start to come alive. It’s been one wild winter, but we can feel spring right around the corner! Goodnight winter, until we meet again, hopefully next year.

Local friends, be weather aware today! We’ve got our kids’ helmets ready just in case! 🪖🌪️⛈️

Our first blooms on the farm this year! 🤣 Teeny tiny forget me nots! But I’m so excited to see growth I’m going to celebrate them even if they are tiny!!! This is one of the new to PolkaDotted Farm flowers this year. A bright blue to add to our bouquets! The rows are growing and the summer flower seedlings are getting ready to plant out! What do you see blooming in your yards/fields?
