My name is Chelsea Belle and I am a joyful and hopeful farmer. I have over ten years of experience tending to vegetables, flowers, animals, and temperamental farm machinery.
I sought to learn both the art and science of growing, taking the time to work for some talented growers on several diverse vegetable and flower farms in southwestern Virginia, the northeast, and abroad in New Zealand. While farming in southwestern Virginia I earned a Bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech with concentrations in Horticulture and Civic Agriculture and Food Systems.
After years of studying and farming other soils and exploring mountains and rivers, I returned to my homeplace in Bluemont, Loudoun County, Virginia in 2014 to fulfill the dream of having my own flower farm. With access to the land that I was raised on, the seed of Bee’s Wing Farm was sown.
