Flower Farm

The working flower farm inside the venue.

Elm Farm is a working flower farm that gives the event venue its seasonal life, color, texture, and sense of place.

Some seasons are full of flowers. Some are for planting, cutting, seed starting, clearing, mulching, mowing, and rebuilding the beds. A farm does not have to be perfect to be useful, just cared for and alive.

The flower farm supports the whole Elm experience: fresh arrangements for the venue, seasonal photo backdrops, farm walks, creative workshops, product styling, small gatherings, and the visible reminder that real life happens from the ground up.

The Flower Farm Advantage

Seasonal Beauty
Flowers, herbs, paths, planters, trees, and garden edges bring color and life to the farmhouse, porch, photo sessions, and gatherings.

Farmhouse Atmosphere
Guests are not arriving at a blank event space. They are arriving at a real farm with cute out buildings, gardens, grass, trees, weather, work, and seasonal change.

Creative Material
Flowers and farm details can support art workshops, floral classes, product photography, content days, table styling, and small event atmosphere.

Outdoor Movement
Mowed paths, garden edges, porch transitions, and outdoor gathering areas allow guests to step outside between sessions and experience the farm beyond the indoor venue.

Visible Stewardship
The farm is our story of creating land is being tended, restored, planted, and brought back into order.

Flower Farm Scenes

Farm Sign + Arrival
The Elm Farm sign sits at the front of what we call our Billboard garden – a space we use to express our love of flowers to everyone who drives by the farm.

Outdoor Gathering Areas
Lawn, shade, firepit areas, and open farm spaces allow large gatherings to move outside when the season and weather work together.

Farmhouse Flowers
Seasonal flowers grown at Elm can be used in the farmhouse, on the porch, in table settings, for photo sessions, and throughout small gatherings.

Flower Rows
Production rows and garden beds give Elm its working-farm identity and provide seasonal color, texture, and movement.

Seed Starting + Planting
Seed starting, trays, soil blocks, planting days, and young plants are part of the visible rhythm of a working flower farm.

Farm Paths
Mowed paths and garden edges help guests move through the property and experience the farm in their own time without feeling rushed by a guide.

Growing in Progress
Elm is a real farm operating at 1 acre production. Clearing, mowing, planting, mulching, and rebuilding beds are part of the work that makes future seasons possible.

The flower farm changes by season. Some weeks are full of blooms, some are newly planted, and some are in the process of being turned over.

Since the day I pulled into the drive at Elm, this Since the day I pulled into the drive at Elm, this property has had a special place in my heart. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God orchestrated a unique set of circumstances so that I could have this home for healing. 

And now it’s time for a new set of unique circumstances that I know God is orchestrating for our good and His glory. 

The Mitchell family will be leaving Elm at the end of November. We’ll miss it fiercely, but we see God working out a special ending to our time here. He has been so gracious these last eight years at Elm. It’s time for someone else to receive the blessing that is this beautiful property. 

I don’t have a lot of details to offer, as they are all still falling into place daily. But I stand on the forever fact that His will is always, always the best version of the story. 

So as we pack our belongings and say goodbye to our sweet little farm, I hope you join me over at @cherithmitchell to continue the adventure God started with the birth of our son, Teddy. A story of redemption and wholeness and taking back what the enemy stole.

My sister took photos while I was in labor. Lookin My sister took photos while I was in labor. Looking at them still makes me cry. Relief. Grief. The overwhelming emotion of knowing the hard thing I fought so hard for was achieved. 

It’s almost too much to look at. I still haven’t worn the cardigan I labored in. It used to be my favorite, now it hangs in the closet. 

There’s a lot I don’t remember about giving birth to Turtle. But there’s a lot I remember about laboring with Baby Bear. Foremost in my memory is my mother reading the Psalms to me. Her soothing voice. The strength embodied in the words. I knew, even if I couldn’t barely think straight, that I needed Scripture. 

It kept me sane as I begged my sister to stop making me try to turn the baby from his breech position. It grounded me as I struggled to maintain control during the relentless back labor. It washed over me as I relinquished control and came undone. 

It pieced me back together as she handed me my first born son. The Word does not return void. 

I can’t wear my favorite cardigan, but the sight of my Bible on the nightstand keeps me whole as I am remade the mother of two.
