Wildrye Farm began in 2015 at the Cloud Mountain Farm Incubator. Vegetables were our starting point, but the flowers quickly took over — and never let go.

​

The farm is owned and primarily operated by Miranda Bowman. Our home farm is a half-acre urban flower farm located in the Birchwood neighborhood of Bellingham, Washington. We also steward an additional acre of farmland twenty minutes east in Whatcom County. We are intentionally small. That scale allows us to focus on what matters most: exceptional quality.

​

Miranda came to farming after years of being a self-described “Jane of all trades.” Flower farming was the first work that truly captured her heart. Growing is more than a job — it is daily, immersive, and deeply personal. From tiny seedlings unfolding into magnificent blooms to the constant movement of birds, insects, and changing seasons, the farm is a living system that unfolds in real time.

​

Wildrye Farm specializes in heirloom chrysanthemums — the backbone of the business — along with unique blooms and carefully curated foliages. In spring, we offer heirloom mum cuttings.  The remainder of our flowers are sold through the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market to wedding designers and florists serving clients throughout the Seattle region.

​

Our growing practices follow organic principles. We prioritize compost, cover crops, crop rotation, and biological pest controls. We do not use synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. We farm with respect for the surrounding ecosystem and with the goal of leaving the land better than we found it.

​

As a small farm, we invest our energy into systems that allow us to grow fewer flowers — but better ones. Our focus is precision, consistency, and quality. When designers purchase from Wildrye Farm, they can trust that every stem has been grown and harvested with care.

​

Farming is intensive work, but it is also sustained by community. We are proud to grow alongside other passionate farmers and to contribute to a regional network that values craftsmanship, sustainability, and integrity.

​

We love what we do — and we are grateful to share it.
