About the Farm
Background
Sweetpea Enterprises, LLC is owned and operated by Elissa McKinley and Tylor Hine in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Elissa grew up surrounded by flowers and the horticulture industry, with fond childhood memories of gardening. Tylor, originally from the West Coast, developed a love for the outdoors and wildflowers. Their shared passion for nature and flowers led to the founding of Sweetpea Enterprises, which focuses on sustainability and brightening the world with beautiful blossoms.
Practices
Sweetpea Enterprises emphasizes sustainability through the 'Farm to Vase' movement, ensuring that flowers are grown without pesticides and utilizing natural growing methods. Blooms are harvested the day before pick-up to maximize vase life and are always kept in water post-harvest. The farm avoids the stress of long-distance shipping, providing fresh, fragrant flowers that are not genetically modified.
The Rest
Supporting Sweetpea Enterprises means supporting a local small business in Milwaukee. The farm prides itself on offering high-quality flowers with longer vase life and natural fragrances, providing a safer and more energy-efficient alternative to imported flowers. The blooms are treated with care and attention, akin to a backyard garden.
