Day three of our special anniversary series and we are going all the way back to October of 2023! Katy King came on the podcast & her episode quickly became one of my most listened to episodes ever! Katy is the founder of Hidden Springs Flowers, and she shared all about how she started the flower farm, what daily life looks like, why you shouldn't worry as much, and why you should have confidence that things are going to fall into place exactly how they are supposed to.
Katy is a wife, Mom, flower farmer, small business owner, and entrepreneur. Shortly after having her first child in 2017, Katy had the urge to create a more flexible life for her family. After spending most of her 20s bouncing from one job to another, she finally landed in a position that she loved, but after having her daughter, she found that the 9-to-5 career wasn’t going to work for her. She wanted to be there for the milestones (the first step, the first word) and the ordinary days (library storytime, playground play date). In the summer of 2018, Katy was flipping through a magazine while on vacation and stumbled across a spread featuring the most beautiful flower farm. She devoured the article and quickly went down the rabbit hole of research. Something in her gut told her that this was the path she was looking for.
By fall of that year, Katy had turned her backyard vegetable garden into her first row of cut flowers. Fast forward to the following summer, and she had taken over a 2 acre piece of the farm to grow flowers. Over the next few years, she built a business, quite literally in her own backyard, adding a retail flower and gift shop and e-commerce site along the way. Hidden Springs Fowers is now a six figure business that contributes not only to her family, but supports five part-time employees. These days Katy spends her time juggling small business ownership with mom life. The days are never long enough, but her cup runneth over in the best way possible. As her business continues to succeed she has found herself pulled to share her success with others. Throughout her blog, resources, and guides, Katy, hopes you will be inspired to grow a beautiful life for yourself and for your family.
