Our Mission

Bella Terra is a local flower farm 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 tech-heavy world with a global pandemic, we believe this is needed now more than ever.

We specialize in unique, heirloom and specialty blooms. 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,

We approach our work with mindful use of sustainable growing practices. What does growing ‘sustainably’ mean? To us, sustainable growing means being gentle with the Earth. This is an ever-evolving practice, and we strive to learn more and get a little better at it every year. 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. We are working hard to improve our soil on our own farm, and will be expanding our mission in the future to help educate others on the importance of protecting and regenerating land for the future.
