Our Story

Hi there!  I’m glad you visited our website!  I’m Nanette and I’m the founder of Windy Hill Farm Est. 1852.  I’ve always grown a large vegetable and flower garden.  In 2020 I enlarged my flower garden to share bouquets with those affected by the Covid pandemic in our community.

 Windy Hill Farm Est. 1852 was created in the spring of 2021 after a lot of research and hard work! I’ve slowly enlarged the gardens every year and I’m currently at ¼ acre of tilled beds.  My husband and I grow a large variety of flowers, foliage, and decorative items for fall.  In the spring, we have a vegetable and flower seedling sale around Mother’s Day. 

 I harvest my fresh flowers in the early mornings or late evenings to ensure the stems are fresh and well hydrated. The addition of a walk-in cooler in 2025 allows me to expand and sell to wholesale suppliers and local florists. 

 You can find our seasonal bouquets at my roadside stand, pop-up events, local coffee shops, and workshops and events at the farm.  Additionally, we have pick up locations at Kewanee, Toulon, and Princeville for custom bouquets.  

 I regularly donate flowers to local nursing homes, churches, and fundraisers.  Please contact me on the “get in touch” page if you have a need.
