PepperHarrow's 10 Year Anniversary!
Celebrating a decade of PepperHarrow Farm, our journey has been a tapestry of triumphs and challenges, fostering growth not just in blooms but in ourselves and our connection. Owning a small business has its hurdles, but the joy of cultivating the most beautiful local flowers in Central Iowa makes it all worthwhile. Our 10-year celebration was a surreal moment, shared with cherished customers. Treating them to complimentary delights and letting them craft their bouquets in our fields was a heartfelt gesture. The festivities also doubled as a fundraiser for the new Madison County Conservation center, emphasizing our commitment to community and nature. Cheers to the past, present, and future of PepperHarrow Farm! 🌸🎉
IT’S BEEN A WONDERFUL 10 YEARS ON THE FLOWER FARM.
We’ve had so many success and failures over the last 10 years. It’s been full of learning and growing - of our land, flowers, and most importantly, in ourselves and our relationship. At times it hasn’t been an easy endeavor, but the reward of owning our own business, creating success, and growing the most gorgeous local flowers in Central Iowa has been worth all of it 1000X over.

Celebrating 10 years of owning a small business is pretty surreal. We high-fived, and celebrated this huge milestone, but we also found ourselves completely taken aback that it had been 10 years. It’s funny how the years seem to blend together and how 10 years ago almost feels like a yesterday.
We celebrated our special night with over 125 of our most favorite customers, they are the folks that have supported us and enabled us to hit this huge milestone. It’s with their support, encouragement, and love of our small business that has helped us build our dream into a reality! Okay, totally gushing over our customers, but y’all get the point. They’re the most wonderful peeps and have treated us so well over the years. Because of this, we treated everyone who came out to complimentary food, beverages, ice cream, and of course FLOWER BOUQUETS!
Yep, that’s right! We sent them out into our flower fields to cut their own bouquets to take home as a small token of our appreciation for them. It was the absolute BEST to see everyone enjoy themselves so much and to also see the beautiful bouquets they created. It was a hit with our Friends of PepperHarrow and something we’d like to treat our best customers to every few years.
