We relocated to our 10-acre corner of Howard County, Maryland in 2019, having lived in other parts of the county for almost 15 years. We didn’t know exactly how we’d use our land, beyond space to wander, a vegetable garden, and maybe a farm animal or two. Ducks? Shetland ponies?

Castlebridge Farm was born the following year. My midlife career change. After 15 years in communications, I was ready to throw myself into something completely new. Something that put our land to work. Flower farming was a perfect fit for our small acreage and the joy I find in flowers.

It is important to me to care for our farmland and the plants and animals that rely on it. It is their home too, after all. You won't find conventional pesticides or herbicides here, but instead a focus on soil health, pollinators, crop rotation, water conservation, solar power, and green practices like these.
