PSA: CHECK YOURSELF FOR TICKS

During this warm time of the year, please check yourselves, your family, and your pets for ticks.

Reducing the deer population through our deer hunting program and following our intentional mowing schedule are the Conservancy's best practices to deter ticks. Even with our practices, please check yourself for ticks after walking our trails and whenever you do anything outdoors.

Meet the other half of @locoflowercollective , Chelsea!

"My name is Chelsea Belle, and I am a joyful and hopeful farmer. I have over fifteen years of experience tending to vegetables, flowers, animals, and temperamental farm machinery.

I sought to learn both the art and science of growing, taking the time to work for some talented growers on several diverse vegetable and flower farms in southwestern Virginia, the northeast, and abroad in New Zealand. While farming in southwestern Virginia, I earned a Bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech with concentrations in Horticulture and Civic Agriculture and Food Systems.

After years of studying and farming other soils and exploring mountains and rivers, I returned to my homeplace in Bluemont, Loudoun County, Virginia, in 2014 to fulfill the dream of having my own flower farm. With access to the land, I was raised on the first seeds of Bee's Wing Farm were sown."

@beeswingfarm_flowers is a small flower farm nestled at the foot of Buck Mountain in Bluemont, Virginia.

If you're interested in having Chelsea's bouquets in your home, you can pre-order them for next week through our Online Farm Store! Order through the link in our bio ☝
