Twin Silos
Flower Farm
Welcome to my DREAM! I started the Twin Silos Flower Farm, located near Utica in Yankton County, and began growing and harvesting seasonal cut flowers in 2023. I started small, but had a great first season. I sold seasonal market bouquets at the Market at the Meridian farmer’s market in Yankton most Saturday mornings. I also gave a few presentations that included a bouquet building activity and one Pop Up Shop. For the 2024 season, I plan to add a Bouquet Club that will be happening as the season’s flowers are ready.
I’m Sherri, and I thank you for your interest in the Twin Silos Flower Farm!
I have plans for more flowers, decorative porch pumpkins, a Bouquet Club, and some other special events in 2024!
Bouquet Club members will pay now and receive 4, 6, or 8 wrapped bouquets of our very best seasonal blooms. Contact twinsilosflowerfarm.com for more details!
The field was tilled in mid-May. This is the view from 435th Ave. Funny how much bigger this plot of land looked after it was tilled! How will I ever fill it up with flowers this year?
Rabbits on the farm sure loved to eat the strawflower plants! I had very few strawflowers survive and bloom in 2023.
A hailstorm went right over the farm in late June, damaging my little flower starts! These are the damaged sunflowers, but all of my plants bounced back just fine!
Challenges in 2023
The site of the flower field to be, taken in early February. You can see 435th Avenue in the background.
Grasshoppers were my worst problem in August! They destroyed so many flower blooms!
My “WHY” for
Twin Silos Flower Farm
I believe in making my part of the world a more beautiful and enjoyable place, and flowers certainly do that! I enjoy growing flowers and I love the look of joy on people’s faces when I present them with flowers from my garden. I also like the physical exercise and time spent outdoors that flower-raising requires. While feeding MY soul, I can offer local people very easy, enjoyable, and family-friendly farm market experiences, both on and off the Twin Silos Flower Farm, so that they may have lovely fresh flowers to delight and beautify THEIR world.
Progress was slow at this one-woman flower farm, but here I am on June 3rd with seedlings planted!
