💐This is what happens when our awesome local flower-farmer community comes together💐
For this year’s Farmer & Chef event benefiting Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee, Second Harvest Food Bank NETN - local flower farmers donated 40 beautiful bouquets—plus enough additional flowers for us to create approximately 35 more arrangements!
Together, we flowered 48 main dining tables with locally grown flowers and added arrangements throughout the chef stations, registration areas, and other spaces around the event.
The flowers themselves represented a tremendous donation—but so did the many hours spent growing, harvesting, conditioning, transporting, and arranging them. Each farmer gave not only flowers, but also their time, talent, supplies, and hard work to help make this event beautiful.
At the end of the evening, guests were invited to take home a table bouquet in exchange for a donation to Second Harvest, raising an additional $650! ❤️
I am incredibly proud of our local flower-farming community and so grateful for the generosity behind every single arrangement. It was an honor for Honey Blossoms Farm to work with Second Harvest again, support such an important cause, and showcase the beautiful flowers—and generous farmers—right here in our region.

This was so much more than a donation of flowers. It was a true community effort, created with many generous hands and hearts.
