Start Your Own You-Pick Flower Farm

Our Journey to Farming

My wife and I, embarked on a farming adventure several years ago when we bought a piece of land with the aim to instill a strong work ethic in our children. We started with raising animals, teaching our kids the values of hard work and responsibility. After a couple of years, we sought to expand our farm’s offerings. Hannah’s passion for flowers sparked the idea of a you-pick flower farm. Our first year was a testament to the potential of this venture, bringing in $40,000+ in revenue and watching guests delight in both our animals and the vibrant blooms. It not only grew our farm but also our family’s joy and community engagement.

Our Entrepreneurial Background

Jake has a rich history in entrepreneurship, having co-founded five escape rooms and over ten axe throwing venues. His focus has always been on crafting experiences that bring people together, creating memorable moments for families and friends. Hannah, on the other hand, brings her diverse talents to the table as a professional photographer, a dedicated full-time mom, and a skilled violinist with over a decade of experience. Together, we blend creativity, business acumen, and a love for community to make Dirt and Grit Farm what it is today.
