Locally Grown Flowers in Mt. Zion, Il

IMG_6532.JPG

We are a small family-run flower farm located in Mt. Zion, Illinois specializing in unique, fragrant, and hard to find flower and foliage varieties.

We are husband and wife farmer-florist duo, Jared and Lindsay Storm, owners and operators of Bushel and Peck Wildflowers. Our locally grown flowers are available during our growing season which runs April through October. Find them at farmer’s markets, our local florists, through weddings and events, along with our seasonal flower subscriptions. Our blooms are grown responsibly, using organic practices that benefit our planet and pollinators while protecting little noses from any unnecessary chemicals when stopping to smell the flowers.

We took full advantage of the nice weather this weekend and made some good progress! We built two new 80’x 4’ temporary raised beds, planted 12,000 tulips, and got over half of the dahlias dug up! We had some great helpers: my sister Britty, my nephew Lincoln, and our friend Shannon (who we forgot to get pictures with!) Lincy helped us get some mulch laid between beds and made sure Uncle Jared sat down on it with him to test it out 😂. Tomorrow we are getting plants covered and hopefully the rest of the dahlias dug so we can get them washed and packed away this week until we can get them divided! #tulips #tulip #FallPlanting #flowerfarm #flowerfarmer

We offer shipping or local pickup, just send us an email if you want to pickup! Tulip shop closes up Sunday morning! #tulip #tulips #tulipbulbs #doubletulips
Gratitude just doesn’t seem to be a strong enough word to describe how we feel. We’ve come to know so many of you through our markets, social media, and our flower subscription sales. We feel so honored to be able to bring our flowers into your homes, humbled by your kindness and graciousness in continuing to support us, and excited to see what next season brings! Thank you all so much for kicking off our flower subscriptions for 2025 with such a bang! You are helping our little family to live out our dream of working deeply meaningful jobs surrounded by nature, giving back to our beautiful planet, and sharing stories of the human experience both here on this platform and through the flowers that you take home from us. Gratitude is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much love in our hearts for you all. Thank you, for growing along with us. We love you guys!❤️❤️❤️
Ya’ll, we’ve been a little MIA the last few days on social media because we took a couple of these rainy days to put up our Christmas decorations. We are trying hard to make more time with our family a priority. There’s always an endless to-do list, especially this time of year, and sometimes we have to just put that aside to make some memories! So here’s a happy hello from Odie in his new favorite spot by the Christmas tree on his Bushel and Peck pillow!

Why Locally Grown Flowers?

Think about how many times in life flowers are needed. Weddings, birthdays, sympathy, celebrations, or just because...the reasons are endless. Every time that you choose locally grown flowers for those events, you are supporting your local economy and small businesses, all while helping save the planet from unnecessary gas emissions and wasteful one-time-use packaging. We also plant lots of varieties that are specific food sources for our local pollinators. When you go with our flowers, you also avoid breathing in chemicals that are used in the fumigation process in addition to the chemical preservatives that are sprayed to make flowers more likely to withstand the long journey from South America where most flowers sold in America are grown.

What is a Farmer-Florist?

We are a fairly new type of business. We take both elements of being flower farmer (who does all the growing), combined with a florist (who does all of the designing) and smoosh them together into one business. All of the flowers we use in our designs for events, markets, special orders, and subscriptions are grown by us, right here in Decatur, Il. Isn't that double the work? Yes, it is! We don't have pre-cut flowers shipped in at our disposal, so everything we use in our designs has been cut fresh in the field over a period of hours out in the elements. They are then brought in and conditioned, before being processed for use in designs. We believe so strongly in the final outcome of using our home-grown flowers to create the beautiful bouquets that you take home to enjoy that the extra effort and long days and nights are totally worth it. The flowers you take home from us are long lasting and unlike anything you can buy at a store.
