Nestled in the heart of a thriving floral community, Wild Earth Flower Farm is a testament to the passion, hard work, and dream of growing something beautiful. Founded and led by Katie Connatser, Wild Earth Flower Farm has blossomed over the past five years into a flourishing source of stunning, locally grown cut flowers. While Katie wears many hats—from lead grower to business manager—she dreams of a day when flower farming becomes her full-time pursuit. She balances her passion for flowers with other commitments, nurturing her farm with the hope that it will soon take center stage in her life.
From Seed to Bloom: The Journey of a Flower Farmer
Katie’s journey into commercial flower farming began five years ago, driven by a deep love for nature and the desire to cultivate beauty. Starting small, she gradually expanded her operation, learning the intricacies of growing high-quality blooms for the wholesale market. Wild Earth Flower Farm is known for its vibrant and diverse offerings, including ranunculus, heirloom chrysanthemums, dahlias, lisianthus, and various other seasonal favorites.
Every stem that leaves Wild Earth Flower Farm carries a story—of early mornings tending to delicate seedlings, the ever-changing dance with weather and seasons, and the joy flowers bring to weddings, events, and everyday moments. For Katie, farming is more than just a business; it’s a labor of love rooted in a commitment to sustainability and community.
A Wholesaler’s Dream: High-Quality Blooms with a Personal Touch
Wild Earth Flower Farm supplies wholesale cut flowers to florists who appreciate the quality and care that go into each stem.

The heirloom varieties, in particular, offer a touch of vintage charm that can elevate any arrangement, while the farm’s commitment to seasonal growing ensures that each flower is at its peak when it reaches the florist’s hands.
Cultivating Dreams: Looking to the Future
While Wild Earth Flower Farm has already made a name in the local floral scene, Katie has her sights set on even greater things. She dreams of transitioning into full-time flower farming, dedicating all her energy to expanding the farm’s offerings and deepening its impact on the community. With each passing season, she moves closer to that goal, driven by a vision of a farm that not only grows flowers but also cultivates connections—between people, nature, and the beauty surrounding us.
