Twelve2 U-Pick Flower Farm - Canton
“What began as a move to more freedom for our family has grown into discovering a deep love for welcoming our community to all that God has given us.
In 2021 we moved to this beautiful land in Madison County, Mississippi and knew that God had given us a special gift to steward well. We cultivated the land, sourced local farm animals, and planted fruit trees for our homestead life. In 2022 our eldest daughter began a desire to grow flowers and after months of research, we decided to start a flower farm and sell flowers at our local farmers markets. After a year of growing flowers for market, we knew there was more. Combining our love for sharing our land and farming flowers we opened up Central Mississippi’s first u-pick flower farm in 2023.”
