About

I'm Elizabeth Walters, flower farmer/artisan at Overflow Farm. I started growing flowers for market when we moved to Dillon, Montana in the fall of 2020, and currently grow on about 1/4 acre, including the area in the 30 X 72 hoop house. My current jobs include the flowers parts, such as selecting crops, starting plants, planting, weeding, harvesting, making bouquets, etc., and the office parts such as marketing, bookkeeping, taking photos, website, emails, etc., but I am working on changing that up in the not so distant future, Lord willing.

As for the photo, I should get a better one taken of me, but this one is special in that it encompasses those awesome zinnias with the 3 foot stems from a few years ago and the best dog I ever had. So I am sentimental towards it.

My husband, Michael, is the infrastructure guy. He built our hoophouse, put up our fencing, built the raised bed where we have them on the lawn, and is the process of building a shop/studio which will allow us to do what we already do better and to expand our services and offerings.

I love this photo of him working up in the lift as he assembled the hoophouse.

Custom Farming.

Picked with care.

From deciding on a field plan to choosing which crops to grow, from selecting seeds, plants, and tubers and propagating them to harvesting the flowers, everything we do is ‘picked with care’. Dillon is not a easy place to grow flowers. Extreme temperature changes, high winds, desert level precipitation, and soil that is primarily clay with a high pH all contribute to making it quite challenging. At least it’s challenging for me. Each year, I review what I did the previous season. What crops were successful? What crops were a disappointment? And if I want to try growing the disappointments again, what do I adjust to increase my chances for success next time? And then there is the marketing aspect of each crop…did customers buy it? Or was it a marketplace flop? Do I have certain crops or colors I will need for a wedding palette? All these factors weigh in to how my choices are ‘picked with care’.
