Congratulations to Jessica Alpers of @OrchardBreezeFlowerFarm! Jessica's snapshot of 'Pink Peppermint' Scoop Scabiosa won her a free tray of Scoops in the #farmerbaileyscoopcontest.

"Hi! My name is Jessica Alpers, and I'm a first generation flower farmer and sixth generation tree fruit farmer. I own and operate Orchard Breeze Flower Farm, a ~1/2 acre flower farm consisting of perennials, bulb crops, annuals, and dahlias in Leelanau County, Michigan. Being located one mile inland from Lake Michigan, the flower field is situated in an ideal microclimate within a microclimate for growing specialty crops. I produce cut flowers for local florists and designers in the Grand Traverse Region, supply grocery store bouquets, and subscription bouquets."

"Looking forward to Farmer Bailey plugs arriving this fall and ordering more for spring 2024!"

We are grateful to everyone who entered the photo contest, it is a delight to see your Scoops! Stay tuned this week to see all ten winning entries from Scoop growers across the USA.
