Woman's curiosity blooms into a booming flower farm with her best bud

From seed to floral arrangements Haven Flower Farm in Lockport, Louisiana does it all.

Owners Reesa and TerriLynn operate their own flower farm that sources fresh, long-lasting flowers for each arrangement they create.

Reesa discovered a passion for growing that inspired her and her close friend, TerriLynn, to start their own farm together.

Since then, they have become licensed florists and strive to continue expanding their knowledge of seasonal flower farming. The business has continued to blossom, and Haven Flower Farm has been featured on many wedding sites like Wedding Wire and The Knot.
