Meet your local flower farmer.

Hello and welcome. I’m so glad you found Sunnyside Urban Farm.

I’m Chelsea, the visionary of Sunnyside Urban Farm. I am the grower and harvester of all the beautiful flowers we sell. Behind this farming journey, I am lovingly supported by my amazing husband. Together, we raise 6 busy children that keep us on our toes.

If you are following along my story, you might be interested in the growth journey, or you might love purchasing local flowers, or attending some of the fun classes offered, or maybe your are here for a few gardening tips…. whatever has brought you here, I am glad you found Sunnyside!

A little about me:

I am passionate about learning, self-development and human rights. I am a community ambassador for the non-profit organization Water for South Sudan. I have helped raise over $45,000 in funds for this cause— providing clean water and new water wells in 3 different villages impacting over 3,020 individuals, 1,050 cows, and 3,600 goats. I am currently working on funding our 4th water well.

I am a certified yoga instructor in Ashtanga, Yin, Prenatal, Restorative, and Breathwork. I often create experiences where both of these talents collide in a beautiful immersion. I look forward to bringing my background and these elements into our gardens.

I love the outdoors- I am an avid hiker. I have hiked all 7 peaks over the 10,000 ft elevation mark surrounding our Utah Valley. As I look out at the mountain peaks from the valley floor that surrounds my flower garden, I can say I have been to every mountain top! I love to adventure with my husband and will try anything adventurous that doesn’t involve jumping out of a plane. Together, we love to rock climb, kayak, rappel, snow shoe, snorkel and sail.

    We believe in the healing elements of nature. Body, soul and mind benefit from time spent in the garden.

    We help others recognize their own creative spirit through well crafted and curated events and experiences.

    We create a welcoming community where passion, presence and positivity facilitate connection.

    We support seasonal living. We allow our hens, farm, and bodies to rest in the winter.
