Learning to start flowers from seed has been quite the learning curve on my part, but it has been a fun adventure.  The Barker family "office" has been many things... A TV room, exercise room, storage room, and I am pleased to say that it is now...]]></description><link>https://www.windyhillwildflowers.com/post/winter-seed-starts</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4c5372f7b480551f16df5c</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Mar 2025 02:23:03 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8c3724_1a033ee9805d405fac83c8621dcbe478~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_320,h_240,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Windy Hill Wildflowers</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning as we Grow]]></title><description><![CDATA[Building a family business has been a dream for both Jarret and me for quite some time. We've spent countless evenings on our back porch, reflecting on our "why" and researching the possibilities for "what" our business could be. It still feels surreal when I think back to the magical moment the idea of building a cut flower farm came to mind. Even more magical was seeing Jarret become just as excited about it as I was. Without a doubt, our children are always our primary "why," but our...]]></description><link>https://www.windyhillwildflowers.com/post/learning-as-we-grow</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4c4eaef7b480551f16d123</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jan 2025 02:14:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8c3724_4b2322ff36294382810f6fc965de572f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_234,h_320,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Windy Hill Wildflowers</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dream]]></title><description><![CDATA[Welcome to the blog!  My name is Ashley and I am the founder of Windy Hill Wildflowers. Having a cut flower farm is a complete dream in the making. Of course, I would not be pursuing this dream without the support of my husband Jarret and my father-in-law David. What started as a fun idea soon began to take shape and form out of our backyard.
