You were providing the flowers for my daughter's wedding on April 25. Thank you for being so great to work with as we all adjust to this new situation but looking forward to celebrating Noelle and Bradley's love along with Farmgirl on November 7, 2020. (I will definitely send them a farmgirl bouquet on April 25 though!!!) We will all get through this, thank you for your strength and honesty.

Farmers tend soil to grow great things, they DONOT poison the soil where leach water kills down stream. Another beautiful face put on another poisoner of the world. This company is not a farm, it is another factory that harnesses the efforts of the soil and companies like monsanto.

For being a ‘farmgirl’ there wasn’t a single mention or shot of the ‘farm’.
She comes across as an online distributor with a warehouse and no actual knowledge of farming, and I find her to be quite off putting.

I felt the same. I thought she was an actual farm girl planting/growing flowers and then got into the e-commerce business. Instead, she is just a business person who sells flowers.
