Hey there, I'm Jess!
I'm the owner and flower enthusiast behind Fika Acres Farm. After almost 10 years as a graphic and website designer, my life took an unexpected turn in 2024 when I traded in pixels for petals! As a disabled farmer with h-EDS and POTS, I know a thing or two about resilience, adaptability, and finding beauty in the unexpected.
At Fika Acres, we believe that flowers are more than just pretty faces—they are reminders to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor life's moments of joy.
Our farm is named after the Swedish concept of "fika," which is all about taking a break to enjoy a cup of coffee and a sweet treat with friends. We think flowers have the same magic; they remind us to pause and appreciate the beauty around us.

About FAF
Fika Acres Farm (FAF) is a specialty cut flower farm located in Jessamine County (Kentucky). We grow a diverse mix of newly bred varieties of flowers from other U.S. flower farms/breeders, uncommon varieties of crowd-favorites, and anchor those with tried and true flower varieties.
FAF has roughly 1/2 to 3/4 of an acre in commercial production. Regenerative and sustainable growing practices are one of the top priorities when it comes to producing our flowers.
Big Impact
Small Footprint
I'm lucky to have parents who own a small 5-acre hobby farm (also in Jessamine County) where I'm able to grow the vast majority of my blooms. While about 3 of the 5 acres is currently dedicated to our family horses, I've found every nook and cranny of viable growing space to dedicate to my flowers. I also grow a much smaller portion of my flowers on my property in Wilmore. It's amazing what can be produced in even the smallest of spaces!
Looking ahead
The Dream
While FAF hasn't found its forever home, I'm actively on the hunt for the future home of Fika Acres Farm. I dream of a place where people can gather, be immersed in flowers, and slow down for even the briefest of moments.
If you know of someone looking to sell their 10+ acres, please reach out to me at fikaacresfarm@gmail.com.
Land accessibility for young and BIPOC farmers is at an all time low. The National Young Farmers Coalition is doing some amazing work to ensure farming has a bright future!

What is a CSA flower/bouquet subscription?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a farming model where the consumer directly supports a local farm(s) by purchasing shares of the harvest in advance. CSA members are our farm's top supporters and are vital in receiving year-round income.
To learn more about how CSA's benefit our farm, visit our Subscriptions page.
