Locally Grown and Owned
Blue Sky Flowers is in its fourth season of growing and we are proud to offer our flowers at several locations in Purcellville and Middleburg, Virginia during the blooming and holiday seasons. We take pride in our commitment to sustainable practices and supporting our local community.
We are Page and Bill Smithers, and we live and work on Blue Sky Farm along with our two dogs, Wrigley and Scout. Occasionally, you'll spot other family members (kids and grandkids) helping out. Our chickens and ducks also roam the farm and help support us by providing needed compost and loads of eggs.
Why did we choose to farm flowers and grow vegetables?
We love a challenge! Farming is a juggling act -- trying to manage and build the soil (i.e. PH balance), planting at just the right time, choosing plants that thrive in our climate, braving the elements - wind and rain (or lack of ) and so much more. But the hard work is rewarding.
Flower and vegetable farming came natural to us. Growing up in Tidewater, Virginia, Page spent a lot of time on the water and in her mother's and grandparents' flower and vegetable gardens. When not catching crabs or fishing, Page was helping pick corn, string beans, okra, tomatoes, and more.
Bringing beauty into people's homes and sharing the joy flowers is incredibly satisfying. We look forward to another season of growing beautiful flowers and so much more.
