read moreA Farmer’s Soliloquy, Beneath the Dreaming Sky
(Enter FARMER, earth-worn and thoughtful, holding a beet. The sky is brushed with twilight.) The day now fades, and dusk begins to sigh,While soft winds stir beneath a painted sky.The soil has spoken in its quiet way—A gentle harvest on a golden day. First came the greens, all tender, fresh, and bright,A patchwork quilt of shadow, sun, and light.I gathered them with care, leaf after leaf,Each one a note in spring’s brief, blooming grief. Then chard, ablaze in crimson, gold, and flame,So proud it seemed too wild to ever tame.It stood like fire...

What goes into growing and selling tulips on such a large scale? Tulips are the farm’s most unusual crop throughout every part of the process, and I bet most people don’t know just how bizarre it gets. Tulips are unlike any other crop we grow, for many reasons. Most obviously, they are the only flower we harvest and sell, and the only thing we harvest purely for its beauty and not its deliciousness. They will be available for about two months, but their journey started many months ago, during late fall, when their bulbs were...
