Meghan, Simple Gifts Flower Farm
"In a field with a learning curve that is so steep that a mistake can make or break your season, having a farmer in your corner who has “been there and done that” is unbelievably valuable. Maggie is a lifesaver! I know that my farm would not be nearly as successful as it is without the help that I received from her early on, and as I continue to grow as a farmer.
Having Maggie as a mentor has helped me through so many things at my farm; when my field flooded, when I thought an entire crop was going to be wiped out by a plant disease, when the temperatures fluctuated in a way I hadn’t seen, when I was having trouble deciding what to invest in at my farm, and when I needed to make marketing and sales channel decisions.”
Elaina, Teshuva Fields Flower Farm
“The intentional mentorship that Maggie offers is unlike anything you will find in the flower farming community. Our farm would not be in the position it is in without Maggie's advice, guidance, and friendship she has brought to our lives. She is honest about where her farm is at with its successes, failures, and ongoing growth.
In the mentorship she visits your farm as well as you visiting her farm. When we visited Delight Flower Farm in summer of 2023 it truly inspired us because she did not have the “picture perfect flower farm” that you see online, but what I saw was hard grit over a long period of time and that is exactly what I yearn for in our farm, knowing that it will take years to cultivate the land and grow wonderful quality blooms just like Delight. Maggie has a beautiful flower farm and her blooms are exceptional. If you're reading my review, my advice is to learn everything you can from her. She has a wealth of knowledge with farming and is extremely humble. She will take your calls when you are anxiously seeing the temps drop in the negatives and you have $7,000-$10,000 worth of flowers in the tunnel and she’ll just calm your nerves because she's been in that same position. She offers something special that most flower farmers online you see do not, and that is how much she has learned over the years and how much she is willing to share that knowledge with others because that is the type of person she is. I am so grateful to know her and have her help me with our farm. I am being honest with what I said previously that our farm would not be where it is without Maggie’s help. If you want a farm to actually produce profit for you and truly love what you do then my advice is to seek out Maggie for the mentorship!”
