Embracing Delight: Our Word of the Year at Moondance Flower Farm
As the vibrant hues and excitement of a new year bloom before us, Moondance is embracing a singular word to guide our journey this year: "delightful." In a world abounding with challenges and uncertainties, we have chosen to infuse each day, each petal, and each interaction with the essence of delight.
At our farm, nestled away on Old Mission Peninsula, cultivating joy has always been at the heart of what we do. Flowers, after all, have an innate ability to bring delight. They captivate hearts with their beauty and evoke emotions that transcend language.
Choosing "delightful" as our word of the year isn't merely a fleeting notion. When we bought the flower farm, we were looking to take a leap into the unknown and venture through a business and lifestyle change that would bring us closer together. It's a conscious decision to weave this sentiment into every facet of our farm's existence. From nurturing seeds in the rich soil to the moment a bouquet is cradled in someone's arms, delight will thread through every step of our journey.
But what does it mean for us to embody "delightful"?
It's in the careful selection of each bloom, choosing the most vibrant and captivating varieties to grace our fields. It's in the tender care we give, ensuring that every flower that blossoms does so with radiance and vitality. It’s in the time and thoughtfulness we have put into the making sustainable and eco-friendly farming choices.
Moreover, "delightful" transcends the flowers themselves. It's in the way we interact with our customers, infusing each exchange with warmth, knowledge, and a touch of enchantment. It's about creating an experience, where stepping into our farm isn't merely a transaction but a journey through colors, scents, and the sheer joy of nature's wonders.
This word isn't just about the external; it's a philosophy that resonates within us, a reminder to find delight in the little things and share that joy with others. It's in the quiet moments of admiration as a bud unfurls its petals, in the laughter shared among our family as we work harmoniously in the fields.
In a world often consumed by haste and chaos, "delightful" beckons us to slow down, to savor the beauty around us, and to spread joy in the simplest of ways.
How can we find delight in weeding this year?
How can we find delight in Levi’s weeks-on-end sleep regression where he doesn’t want to stay in his own bed for more than 10 minutes?
How can we find delight as we look out onto the snowy, barren farm that was exploding with color 3 months ago?
As we embark on this new year, our commitment to making every interaction, every bloom, and every moment truly delightful stands resolute. We invite you to join us in this celebration of joy, as we cultivate not just flowers but moments of sheer delight for all who walk through our fields.
May the fragrance of our blooms remind you to seek delight in the ordinary, and may your days be filled with the simple, yet profound, joy that our flowers bring!
With petals of happiness,
The Moondance Fam (Linds, Mark, & Levi)
