Summer Hues, Summer Hustle

Today I visited Berry Patch Farm, where Claudia, the farmer, greeted me with her usual calm but focused demeanor. The recent rains had delayed planting, and with 100-degree temperatures expected this weekend, she was racing to get everything in the ground today.

Next, I headed just five minutes down the road to Red Daisy Farm. Meg welcomed me and gave me a tour in her golf cart. It’s a small, charming farm that grows and sells flowers. She also has three Airbnb rentals on the property. A serene pond—perfect for swimming or lounging on the shaded deck—sits beside a water feature where koi glide gracefully through the water.

Meg is incredibly hardworking. Between planting, growing, harvesting, and delivering flowers, running her floral business, and managing three vacation rentals in Brighton (plus two more in Florida), her life is a constant, beautiful whirlwind.
