I run Brave Blooms alongside my husband, Matt, and our son, Braven. We are a Native-owned flower farm located in beautiful Washington State, where we grow premium, pesticide-free flowers for events, our farm stand, and seasonal floral offerings. Through our online shop, we offer premium dahlia tubers, ranunculus corms, peony roots, and hand-selected seeds — the very same varieties we grow on our farm and use in our bouquets, loved by florists and trusted by flower farmers.

Brave Blooms began as a quiet calling, a pull toward healing, beauty, and a different way of life. With a background in biology and a deep love of plants, I’ve always felt at home in the garden. But becoming a mom changed everything. It gave me the courage to believe in myself and build something different, something rooted in purpose and aligned with who I really am.

As a Native woman, I farm with reverence and responsibility. I honor traditional practices by nurturing the soil, saving seeds, and growing in rhythm with the seasons. We use no-till methods, natural pest control, and minimal plastic — always striving to care for the earth, our community, and the next generation.

Brave Blooms is named after our son, Braven — my whole world and the inspiration behind it all. I started this farm to stay home with him, to create a life outside the 9–5 grind, and to challenge the status quo. Native American farmers make up less than 2% of all U.S. farmers, and Native flower farmers are even fewer. This work is my act of resistance and resilience, and a daily reminder that bravery can bloom in all of us.

Thank you for being here and supporting our farm. I hope our flowers bring happiness, beauty, and a little bravery into your life too.

With love,

Iesha
