New flower farm opens in Minooka

The Beard family behind the Beard Family Flower Farm believes flowers bring a feeling of peace that everyone should be able to bring home with them. The Beard Family Flower Farm allows for people to do this through their flower stand at the front of their farm at 13217 Grove Road in Minooka.

“Beard Family Flower Farm is a family-run flower farm growing fresh-cut, field-grown flowers right here in Minooka,” Owner Lisa Beard said in a news release. “We grow, harvest, and sell our flowers locally through our farm stand, flower subscriptions, farmers markets, and seasonal offerings. Our flowers are meant to bring people back to the present moment and make ordinary days feel a little more special.”

The farm and stand are open seasonally from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Specific days and farmers market locations are updated at beardfamilyflowerfarm.com or on its Facebook page.

In July, the Channahon Minooka and Grundy County Chamber held a ribbon cutting at the farm to celebrate their first official year in business. The Chamber team, ambassadors, Village of Minooka officials and the Beard family gathered at the farm for a brief tour and to learn more about the farm.
