Nestled in the breath taking Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, Harmony Harvest Farm starts each morning with a healthy dose of coffee and ends each afternoon exhausted but accomplished. Every day, whether freezing your fingers off in the winter or melting your face off in the summer, flower farming never comes to a stop. When people hear the words "flower farm", they have this magical vision of romanticism; images of people with flower crowns in their hair, dancing through the fields. At Harmony Harvest, we will be the first to tell you that it's not always sunshine and rainbows.
There are days of blood, sweat, and tears... literally. Day after day, calloused hands are worked tirelessly, and bodies are beaten by the Sun. The weather is not only hard on the body, it can be devastating to crops, structures, and projects that employees poured their hearts into. We will all tell you that there are days when feeling defeated is inevitable, but you try to get a healthy night's sleep and start fresh the next morning. There are acres of flowers that need us to keep going. There are loyal customers who want to see us succeed so they can continue buying and enjoying our flowers from Whole Foods Market. There are brides who deserve the kind of personalized design that brings tears of joy when they see their flowers for the first time on their big day.
We have a community that thrives on our success and genuinely cheers us on each and every day. When you see enchanting pictures of flower fields with just the right glare from the sunrise or set, know that there are a whole lot of images never recorded in order to have that perfect camera shot. Cut flower farms are a growing industry, and the people of this industry want to show you that while we believe we may have the best job in the world, the behind the scenes entails some not so fairytale things that don't seem so bad because of loyal, supporting communities.
