Susanna Byrd

I'm Susanna. Raised up by the Blue Ridge, I've loved the land of central Virginia my whole life, and though I've spent time on farms from Ohio down to Patagonia, I've always had an internal compass pointing back home. I discovered the vocation of small-scale ecological farming at a crucial time in my life when the big stories of climate change and human disconnection threatened to overtake my spirit with fear. This work daily reaffirms what I have always known to be true: that we are of the earth, and that our happiness and wholeness are rooted in the soil. In 2020 I decided to move back to the family farm, and with the help and support of friends and family, began the journey of growing flowers.
