Driftless Thanksgiving: Gratitude Rooted in the Fields
Thankful for the little moments
Thanksgiving always seems to arrive in the in-between — after the last blooms fade but before next season’s dreams take root. It’s a pause, a breath, a clearing of space. And in that quiet, gratitude becomes easier to see.
This year, gratitude didn’t come in sweeping gestures. It showed up in the small, almost-missed moments:
The last handful of dahlias we cut before frost claimed the fields.
My kids’ laughter echoing across rows that only weeks ago were bursting with color.
The calm that settled once the harvest softened and the rush slowed down.
These are the moments that remind us why we’re building this. Driftless Daughters is more than a flower farm — it’s a way of being. And for that, we’re deeply thankful.
Thankful for the people who showed up
Our friends and family wrapped around us in ways we never imagined. You’re the reason Driftless Daughters has come to life — it’s a journey of healing and joy rooted in flowers.
Whether you shared your delight for the blooms, reposted a photo, encouraged the girls, or simply cheered from afar, you became part of our story.
Flowers connect people. But this year, people connected us.
Thank you for believing in us and encouraging what we’re building — for supporting two girls and their mom as we turn passion into a dream. Thank you for letting our blooms into your homes, celebrations, and everyday moments.
Thankful for the season we’re dreaming towards
We’re already deep into planning for 2026 — and we couldn’t be more excited! This year we invested in a greenhouse, added perennials, and dove into flower farming education. Now we’re sketching field maps, choosing varieties, and dreaming big.
Our 2026 Flower Subscription launches soon for holiday gifting! We’ll start with limited spots for our first full season, so keep an eye out in the coming days. If you miss out, don’t worry — we’ll stock our farm stand and local pickup points with fresh bouquets. And if you have something special in mind, reach out — we’d love to help.
If you’re gifting experiences this holiday season, consider giving a year of flowers — beauty that unfolds bouquet by bouquet, all season long.
A Thanksgiving Wish from our field to your table
As you gather this week, may you find gratitude in the quiet, in-between moments — the ones that come softly but leave something meaningful behind.
May you find warmth.
May you find rest.
May you find joy tucked inside the ordinary.
May you stay wild and rooted.
And may this season remind you, as it reminds us, that beautiful things are always growing — often where you least expect them.
From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving from Driftless Daughters.
May your days be slow, your hands full of flowers, and your heart light.
