Big news and big transitions happening! After 7 years at the we have decided to step away from the market. It has been an honor and a blessing to be able to provide the community with plants all these years. I am incredibly grateful for all the connections that have been made and all the support from the community, as you've been with us as Wild Side has grown from the ground up. As these transitions take place I am giving myself grace to see where the path may lead. You'll still see me downtown working on the restaurant gardens & doing fun projects at Florida Native Plants & Landscaping! This hasn't been the easiest decision, but I'm leaning into what the future may hold!! I'd love to see you all before I leave the market! Our last market day is June 3rd. Come on out!!

What an incredible evening!!Feeling so honored to be recognized with a group of such incredible farmers. Thank you too all the chefs and community for showing up!! Core memories made last night! Shout out to my date for the evening . She believed in me and took a chance. If it wasn't for her and the growth Wild Side Farms has made in the past year wouldn't have happened!!

**WILD SIDE FARMS is turning 5!!!** It's definitely been a wild ride!
** 5 years ago July we bought the business from a couple of dear family friends. Formally known as Dufour Family Farms. From that point on we started cultivating Wild Side Farms. Family owned and operated. Striving to supply herbs and edibles to the community while also cultivating the life style we wanted to raise our daughter in.
**While there were so many life lessons waiting to be learned our seasons changed and I stepped out into business on my own. Which leads me to say, I am also celebrating ONE YEAR this July of building my plant ship of a greenhouse and fully being a women own business!!
** I am incredibly grateful for everyone who has been along for the journey thus far. Thank you for all the helping hands that have made it possible. The words of encouragement when the growth was painful & the endless love and support when the growth was bountiful. My love always to the ladies who welcomed me on the their oasis of a nursery. I've grown in more ways than one watching and learning from being with you ladies. **
This is only the beginning, I look forward to many more years of green growth. Supplying our community with organically grown medicinals, edibles and culinary plants. Who knows what's in store for the rest of this year?! The best form of rebellion is being able to grow your own food and medicine ;)
If you've made it this far in the epic, bless you. Let's celebrate Wild Side Farms! is putting on a Summer Luau from 7AM/1PM THIS Saturday! I will be handing out FREE Wild tote bags with purchases over $30 & other treats to all of my plant peoples!!!

**Sending every single one of you love and appreciation!!

New Resturant Garden Installation. ☆ SO incredibly grateful to be able to work with natural elements in all forms that are connected the earth's force to the raised beds. Also known as Earthing. ☆ We took copper and spiraled a patterned on the bottom of each bed. Then connected each piece together which then connected to to a piece of rebar drilled into the cement to the earth. Grounding all of beds & pulling the sweet pull of the earth's energy right up into the roots and soil. ☆ Copper is such a special element to be working with. Copper being an energy conductor can also move our personal energy and increase your thoughts. It can also connect us on a deeper spiritual journey as well. ☆ A big shout out to Ionie & Mark Caragiulo for having me on board to help create such a special space. Ionie will be opening a new restaurant space in the heart of downtown Sarasota. Much deserved!! ☆ It was a simple reminder while working on this project. Being connected to the elements, plants & people. It's all about the community & love. We're all connected!
