Meet the farmer

Hello! My name is Josephine and I am the artistic generalist behind Busy Bea Farm and Florals. My partner, Collin, and I grow a wide variety of flowers and herbs on a 6 acre farm in Beaver County an hour east of Edmonton, AB. Our focus is on everything dried - providing our local community with vibrant, local florals and teas the whole year through.

I have been working on farms since I took part in the Young Agrarians Apprenticeship Program in 2020. I spent my first two seasons at the Homestead in Goodfare, AB and started Busy Bea on a corner of their beautiful market garden in 2021. We moved back to Edmonton the following year and shared land with Good Note Community Farm in New Serepta, AB for 2 more growing seasons. In May 2023 we finally found a little farm of our own. We are looking forward to the first full growing season at our own place.
