"I grew flowers, therefore I am a flower farmer". The reward of starting something from seed, in both the literal and metaphorical sense. 

​

Giving great advice but never taking it for ourselves. Showing up on social media as a business - authentically and sustainably. Learning to measure success + growth outside of money + followers. 

​

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE ALGORITHM WANTS and anyone who says they do is a liar. 

​

Being stupid + crazy, and other telltale benchmarks of success. Dopamine hits. Useless farm animals. The trash-can chick. A penis with feathers. Heart cartwheels. 

​

Farm mascots, past and present. #RIPBodacious.

Ashley Vail is a first-generation cut-flower farmer in Salina, Kansas.
