Hello! I'm Jill
Hi, I’m Jill — farmer, florist, delivery driver, and everything in between here at Thistledown Farm. What began as a childhood dream of wildflower paths and overflowing cottage gardens has grown into a flower farm rooted in joy, creativity, and connection.
From starting seeds during snowy Minnesota winters to hand-delivering bouquets at the height of summer, I’m involved in every step of the process. I grow a wide mix of flowers using natural methods, focusing on beauty, seasonality, and delight — straight from the farm to your door.
There’s truly nothing I love more than creating something beautiful that brings joy to others. Whether it’s a wrapped bouquet, a custom arrangement, or a bucket of blooms for your next event, I’m honored to share a piece of my dream with you.
Welcome to Thistledown Farm.
Behind the Name
Why "Thistledown Farm"? When my husband and I bought our farm, it was covered in thistles—some taller than me. They’ve been a thorn in our sides (pun fully intended!), but over time, they’ve come to symbolize so much more: caring for the land, building up the soil, and making something beautiful out of nothing.
In the evenings, when the golden sun hangs low and bathes everything in light, even the fluff on the prickly thistle seems to glow. That’s when I’m reminded: everything has its place. Even the thorniest weeds have a kind of beauty— if we just take the time to notice the magic.
That’s what Thistledown Farm means to me. A little wild, a little hard-won, but full of life, beauty, and purpose.
