Watching this video brings me right back to one of the best weekends earlier this summer when I was invited to visit the Floret Flower Farm in Mount Vernon to tour the grounds and meet my hero, Erin, personally. She inspired me to grow flowers to bring people together and I got to see that (again!) this September at the Sunflower Festival. If you have a few minutes you should watch; this is such a beautiful and well done video!

One of the most common themes running through nearly every conversation I’ve had this past year has been how lonely and isolated we’re all feeling despite be...

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the festival this weekend; this would not have been possible without you! And because of you I can host this event again next year with even more surprises in store! I have had a large amount of requests from people asking if I can open the field again for those who couldn't make it and still see sunflowers out in the field, but since I am expecting my baby in the next couple weeks I have decided the field is closed for the season. I'm just thankful everyone had enough flowers to pick this year! It was an amazing weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone next season!

This is definitely a highlight of my year, Simply Local Magazine did a wonderful job with this article! See you all out at the festival next weekend!

Hopkins feels strongly that public outdoor events that bring people together are vital to the health and well-being of communities. “It reminded me of the quote where it’s better to light a match than curse the darkness,” she said.

     I'm Aubrey, and I started this quaint sunflower field late in the summer of 2023 hoping to bring a little sunshine to Billings.
