Marche Farm

The Tiny Shop is now closed ⭐️

We will come back the 18th and maybe reopen the 19th depending on how the farm is looking!

If you have any questions you can still message me 😘

The Tiny Shop will be open all night today only, as we have our MOVIE night tonight. 💗

Reminder that tomorrow is our last day!
So excited for our little break 🥰

See you soon for those coming tonight ⭐️
(you can park by the road or on the grass next to our logo sign.)

I am so excited for tomorrow! 🥰 If you do not know Beautywood Books, they are a bookshop in NLR. We always go there. We love that place so much. We were actually there yesterday for their open floor ⭐️ on the theme “lessons”. And now they are coming for our movie night 💕!

Tomorrow night is movie night at !

We're excited to watch the short film .welcome and find out how Arkansans are connected to this issue and uniquely positioned to make change.

Save gas, save parking, save yourself the headache of driving, and meet at 8 pm at Beautywood to carpool! We will be leaving promptly at 8:30.

The runtime for the short film is just over 20 minutes, but there will be time for discussion afterward.

Marché Farm is located at 15505 Cedar Lane, NLR.

[Image description: a light yellow slide with a poster for the film, "Allies Welcome." Text above and below says, "Movie Night at Marché Farm August 9th. Film starts at 9 pm. Carpool from Beautywood 8 pm." Red tulips, the national flower of Afghanistan, pop out if the bottom corners of the picture.]

Hi everyone, I will be deadheading the farm before our vacancy. 🌞Basically cutting most of the open blooms to encourage new blooms to form.

Anyone wanting to help with that is welcome. Lot of blooms will be passed, damaged or have short stems but you can keep all the blooms you are cutting. 🌸Some will still look good for few days in a vase I m sure!

Come hang out with us whenever between 4 to sun down on Saturday 10th. If you have clippers, please bring them I only have two here!

Our Tiny Shop with Mix bouquets and sunflower bunches today 🌸 Come by from 10 to 7!

We are preparing the farm for our movie night on Friday. Movie will start at 9pm but if you come before it is too dark outside we will be able to tour a bit the farm 💗

Have a lovely day! 😊

Last week to get flowers before we are closing our Tiny Shop. 🥰 (I am hoping we will be back making bouquets again on the 19th.) We have gorgeous bouquets ready to be picked up at the farm!

The end of the summer is the hardest period I found to get blooms 🌸 with all the diseases that are thriving during that time and the difficulty to irrigate the young crops.

We also noticed that summer seems to be a very slow time in sales for flower farms generally so we are actively thinking of what next summer could look like, drop your ideas in comments!

Let us know if you like evening workshops in the summer, only getting flowers in spring/fall and closing in the summer, having subscriptions with pick up at the farm or flowers delivered to your front door. We want to know! ⭐️

Thank y’all! 💗

Time is flying and it is already August tomorrow. 🌞 It has been 3 months now that I have bouquets available everyday at our Tiny Shop at our farm 👏

Last year our season stopped at the end of August. We are excited to see how it will go this season and if we can extend this date. 🤞We are still learning a lot but we cannot wait to have flowers until October 🥰

We will be close from August 11th to the 18th and it will be a surprise to what we come back to as we never left the farm during peak season, so grab those flowers while they are still here.
We have some sunflower bunches too for today. 🌻

Come by from 10 to 7 today 💗

We will be at St. Joseph Farm Stand Summer Jam Night Market this Friday 🥰 We are so excited to come back to St Jo, we love that place 💗 Hope to see y’all there!

🌸THIS SUNDAY 🌸
We will be at Paper Hearts Bookstore with lot of flowers from 10 to 4 to celebrate their 3rd year anniversary! They are located at 420 E 21st Street in LR 📚💗

We love bookshops, especially independent book stores who put so much love in their store. If you don’t know them, this Sunday will be the perfect time to say hi!

🍿M O V I E N I G H T 🍿

For context, we are entering the third anniversary since Afghanistan fell to the Taliban in August 2021 as the US withdrew its military forces.

In our efforts to raise awareness on the situation of Afghan people in the US and the need for the Afghan Adjustment Act to pass the Senate (S.23327)/Congress(H.4627), we will host a MOVIE night on Friday August 9th, just a day before closing the farm. (August 11th to 18th we will finally be taking a break! 🥰)

The movie is “Allies Welcome” , a short documentary (23 minutes) by Shakeeb Asrar & tavleen tarrant following 3 Afghans who moved to the US but find themselves in limbo on a temporary legal status. Thanks to my friend Kami (with AlliedShepherd.org) who is currently working to get the Afghan Adjustment Act passed at the federal level, we got in contact with the movie directors who generously allowed us to project their movie for free 🥰 Big thanks to all of them who made this event possible!!

I am super excited to share this night with y’all ✨ we are also inviting you to call your Representatives (especially Tom Cotton but any is good!) to let them know they need to support the Afghan Adjustment Act, which will allow Afghan people who fled violence and persecution under the Taliban to seek legal permanent residence in the US. We need the word to be shared widely, I hope I can count on you to be curious and wanting to know more. Coming to our movie night can be a first step into this journey 🎬💗

Invite your friends! 🌸
Tell your family!🌻
Call your representatives 😘
(Contact info in the comment section, as well as possible language to use for email/phone calls)
And come eat some popcorn on the 9th!

PS: bring your own chair if you can 👌we do not have a lot. Movie will start at 9pm ! Come before it is too dark outside if you want to see our farm! 🤍

The bicolor sunflower is blooming 😍

Our Tiny Shop is located on our little farm at 15505 Cedar Lane, 72118 NLR. Here are all the details about it ⬇️

It is open from 10am to 7pm everyday except when we will be in holidays (August 11th to the 18th) Our bouquets are $20 and sometimes I have sunflower bunches for $10. We also have some dried arrangements (little jars $12 and small bouquet in a vase $20)

You can park in our driveway or on the grass when the weather is not too rainy.

We have a chair and a tiny bookshelf full of books to enjoy on sight and educational panels about the Catholic Polish community of Marche, as well as the indigenous Nations from here.

The Tiny Shop works with the honor system so you can pay by cash (in the red box close to the front door) or with cashapp.

Now you know everything 💗 Thank you so much for supporting our tiny farm!!

A little view of what is in the Tiny Shop right now 🥰

I am currently preparing for Friday Night Market at The Market at Pettaway in LR from 5 to 9. We are so glad temperatures dropped for us to do another market 🥰 It always motivates me to harvest lot of blooms and make lot of bouquets, so the Tiny Shop will be full while I am preparing those. Even on market days, we have bouquets available in the Tiny Shop. Feel free to come by to say hi or/and get some flowers 🌸

Hayden is holding a bucket with the bouquets I’ve just put together, I’ll go back to it now!
Have a nice cool day 💗

A big thank you to St. Joseph Farm Stand for organizing such a lovely event. We love this place so much 💗 Thank you to everyone who came out and shared this moment with us!

Come see us at St. Joseph Farm Stand this Friday Night for their Only-Farmers Night Market. We are so excited to have been invited to this event 💗 We won’t have many bouquets as flowers have been slow right now but what a great occasion to meet you there. It is a gorgeous location to get to know your local farmers, hang out, listen to music, explore their gardens, see their animals and visit their beer shed.

St Joseph Farm has been so supportive of local farmers and keep on having such cool projects in mind to make our life easier and help us out. We are very thankful there are here. 🌸

Hope you’ll come by!

Hayden has been working hard to reinforce our fence. Deers found their way in and for a week now have been enjoying quite a lot of our crops. They ate a whole row of sunflowers yesterday night and a bit of another row 😅 We plant them every week so we should still have some but it will vary through the weeks! Grab those flowers while they are still there. I will try to show you the video Hayden took of the baby deer as soon as I can in our story 🥰 that was so cute.

[We will also try to fix our Tiny Shop door as it can be hard to open. The Tiny Shop is open from 10 to 7 everyday so don’t be afraid to get that door open! 😘]

Just popping on here to remind y’all we are open today from 10am to 7pm 😊 This is the Tiny Shop at our farm where you can pick up some bouquets whenever is convenient for you. We accept Cash or Cashapp. It is a self serve shop!

➡️ Other Reminder our holidays will be in August, from the 11th to the 18th. 🌸

Good morning 🌸

Just a reminder that we are open everyday, from 10am to 7pm, even on holidays days!

Our own holidays will be in August from the 11th to the 18th 🤩 so the Tiny Shop will be close during that week. We have never been away from the farm during the flower season so it will be a good experience for us to see how it goes when we come back! 💗

Thank you so much for thinking of us for your flowers 💐 Have a wonderful day!

Marigold stems for $2 each today only 😊
I love their smell! Come by today from 10-7 💐

Plenty of MIX bouquets too and some sunflower bunches in the Tiny Shop right now.

Have a lovely Sunday 💗

Marigolds are in full bloom right now, I will have this bucket in the Tiny Shop (picture) where you can pick yourself some stems.

Reminder: Tonight is movie night at the farm! 🍿 Come for 9pm or before if you want to hang out.

🌸 New Product in the Tiny Shop 🌸

I am starting slowly to make again dried arrangements. I already had my little jars (need to do some more I know!) and now we will have some dried bouquets in different shape and color vases (orange or purple for now)

As usual lot of fresh flowers available for today! Few sunflower bunches and lot of MIX bouquets. I am feeling grateful for my marigold as most of my flowers right now are running low. If you like bright orange color this is your day 🧡

Reminder: Tomorrow is our outdooor movie night! Movie starts at 9pm 🎥🍿 bring your chair if you can we will take care of the rest! (Free event/Free popcorn)

The rudbeckia (the center brown flower on this picture) are toward their end of blooming ☀️those have been a challenge this year!

I grew new colors but I could not use most of them as they have been taken over by all sort of bugs. We do not use any pesticides, insecticides, or fungicides at the farm. Some year some crop are easier than other. It was very pretty to look at them in the field for two weeks though, the big yellow kind are so bright and cheery.

The only rudbeckia kind left to bloom is the tiny yellow bloom with dark center that I used plenty last year, crossing my fingers to have lot of it again 🤞

The marigold are starting to bloom 🧡 Those are the big orange balls you see on that picture.

We are open everyday from 10am to 7pm. ✨
Come by the Tiny Shop today!

Those are the bouquets we left at the Tiny Shop this morning to enjoy a Sunday morning at SOMA, eating delicious pancakes at The Root Cafe with a friend (we’ve actually met thanks to the farm.)

As yesterday was pretty slow, I had many left over bouquets that we happily distributed to small businesses in Soma and Pettaway today. Love how I’ve met new people, saw friends, got cookies from The Root Cafe when I offered them some sunflowers 🌻💗

Today is beautiful,
this community is awesome. 🤩

T O M A T O !! The Tiny Shop will have 2 little baskets of Sun Gold tomatoes today. 🧡

Some 🌻🌻🌻 sunflower bunches too

And I will be making more MIX bouquets depending on affluence 😊

Open from 10a to 7p, everyday 💗
Hope you stay cool today!

Right now in the Tiny Shop 💐

Those are my very last snapdragons and they are pretty big, I did not expect my last ones to get to that size 🤭 but it is very hot now for snapdragons. We will see if they come back when it is cooler, if not it will be for next year! ✨

Little View of the bouquets 💐

We have new blooms today with our very first bright orange marigold. 🧡 I have very few purple echinacea 💗 I cannot wait for when I will have those everywhere. I loved watching my rattlesnake master growing, first time I actually use some for my bouquets, it is the green funny pointy buds. The ageratum is the beautiful purple one with green foliage. The Colorado sunset rudbeckias are in full bloom right now (brown flower) it will be brief but gorgeous. Finally I am getting more celosia, from purple to yellow, those are the spiky looking ones.

I love how bouquets are changing according to the season ✨
