Our Mission

Bella Terra is a local flower farm + gathering space established in 2017 as a place of beauty, community and creativity. Since nothing offers pure, simple delight quite like flowers, we are grateful for the ability to share the Earth’s bounty with others. Our hope is that we can all take a moment to slow down, be kind, and breathe it all in. We strive to use flowers as a way to bring community together and re-connect with each other. Living in such a fast-paced and tech-heavy world, we believe this is needed now more than ever.

We specialize in unique, heirloom and specialty blooms with a special emphasis on native varieties. We are dedicated to supporting the local flower movement, where seasonal flowers are our main focus. Through this effort we reduce the carbon footprint, and help eliminate waste and the use of chemicals within the floral industry,

Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do. We grow using organic practices, without the use of synthetic chemicals and pesticides. We create beauty for the human species while minimizing harm to other species. We always leave some blooms in the field for the pollinators, essential to our food source. We use as little plastic as possible, especially single-use plastics.

What started as a love affair with flowers has evolved into a passion for regenerating the soil. We are currently low-till and working towards no-till farming. We are continuously improving our soil fertility, because healthy soil means healthier plants and a stronger ecosystem. We are obsessed with learning everything we can about the microbiology in our soil. When the microorganisms are happy, our plants are happy… and this benefits everyone else along the food chain.

While we are working hard to learn about the soil on our own farm, we are also zealous in sharing this knowledge with others. We aim to build soil advocates for the next generation, to help educate on the importance of protecting and regenerating land for the future.
