Biography: My name is Conner Parrish and I own Blossoming Roots Farm and Supply out in Ashland, Virginia. We are a local cut flower farm with a mission to protect and nurture the environment around us! I have always been a nature lover and started down this path after the sudden loss of my father at an early age. I quickly realized nature is what grounded me and after becoming a beekeeper in college, I began to understand the therapeutic benefits it cultivated within me. Flower farming naturally entered the picture after I was planting them to feed my bees. Fast forward to today and I own a cut flower farm that donates a portion of profit to pollinator conservation each month! I am finally living the dream and helping the world be a better place.
