Ep.55 Slow Living in Spring – How to Embrace the Beauty of the Season Interview with Megan Volker

Welcome to the Country Proud Living Podcast! I'm your host LoriLynn. Today I welcome Megan Volker, owner of Florwegian Flower Farm, to discuss slow living and the beauty of spring. Megan shares her journey from a small farming town in Minnesota to becoming a full-time flower farmer. She talks about her farm's sustainable practices, the diversity of flowers she grows, and the significance of living intentionally with nature's rhythms. Megan offers insights into her CSA flower subscriptions, seasonal classes, and the importance of enjoying the present moments with flowers. Listeners will learn how to embrace a slower pace and connect more deeply with nature. If you're interested in adding dahlias to your garden, Megan's limited supply of Dahlia tubers is available on her website. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about mindfulness, seasonal living, and the joys of flower farming.Helpful Links:  Florwegian Flower Farm Megan VolkerWebsite: https://www.florwegianflowerfarm.comTo buy Florwegian Farm Dahlia Tubers: https://www.florwegianflowerfarm.com/dahliatubersCurrent Classes offered: https://www.florwegianflowerfarm.com/classesFacebook: follow The Florwegian Flower Farm Instagram: follow @florwegianflowerfarm00:00 Introduction to Slow Living in Spring01:35 Meet Megan Volker: From Rural Roots to Flower Farming02:45 Starting and Growing a Flower Farm04:10 The Joys and Challenges of Flower Farming08:34 CSA Flower Subscriptions and Offerings11:18 Embracing the Beauty of Spring19:45 Balancing Farm Life and Business20:38 The Seasonal Nature of Farming21:17 Managing Stress and Expectations23:50 The Joy of Working with Nature25:23 Eco-Friendly Practices at Florwegian Flower Farm27:37 Booking and Planning for Weddings30:24 Social Media and Community Engagement31:09 Educational Background and Challenges32:45 Adapting to Different Climates34:54 Classes and Community Events36:27 CSA Subscriptions 38:20 Dahlia Tuber Sales and Gardening Tips39:46 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsLet me know if there is something you would like to learn more about in the color & design, nurture & empower space?
