We never set out to be flower farmers. We actually just wanted to do a trial season of growing flowers for our daughters upcoming wedding on our farm. One small bed quickly turned into 8 and 8 became 16 and we now have plans to expand even more. Sunflowers, dahlias, snapdragons, foxgloves, zinnias, ranunculus and sweet peas are just a few varieties that we are growing on the farm.

Where did the name come from? That’s easy - I have a 1971 VW blue beetle (bug) which is my daily driver. I deliver flowers in this gorgeous little car. It was only fitting that we called the flower farm after my main mode of transport and we love lady bugs!

We pride ourselves on chemical free flowers, with ducks as pest control, horses as mobile fertilisers and lots of hard work weeding. We can offer beautiful field grown blooms just as nature intended, when nature intended.

We fell in love with the process of seed starting, sowing and working out what will grow in our little valley microclimate.

We have lived on the farm for 23 years and both my husband and I grew up here, went to school here and were married in the Milton Ulladulla area. I guess you can say we are local as we have been here for 45 years. We have raised our three children on this property, ridden motor bikes horses, had bonfires, swam and fished in the dam and entertained our family and friends.

Little Blue Bug Flower Farm is a true family farm and continues to evolve with us.
