Congratulations to Anna Jane Kocon of @littlestateflowerco, whose portrait of her long-stemmed Scoop Scabiosa in bright colors wowed our #farmerbaileyscoopcontest judges. 

Who is Anna Jane? Read on!

"Little State Flower Company is a sustainable flower farm owned by Anna Jane Kocon and based in Tiverton, Rhode Island. Her farm has been professionally growing and selling cut flowers for 9 years. Little State focuses on sustainable, environmentally-friendly growing practices in an effort to create local, healthy options for the wedding and event industry in and around Rhode Island."

"Anna Jane is a huge animal lover, a hardcore experimental flower grower and a shameless foodie. She pushes the boundaries of seasonality for her business by choosing to focus her intellectual energy on what will grow best in the shoulder seasons and even the dead of Winter. Along with extensive winter flower growing, she runs consultation services and study groups during the off season for her growing peers, and LOVES to hang out with other like minded, peaceful and funny flower farmers……and dogs."
