ABOUT THE FARM
WE BELIEVE FLOWERS SHOULD FEEL LIKE HOME: SOFT, WILD, WHIMSICAL & GROUNDING
Silver Fox Lane is a small scale, heart-driven flower farm located in Toddville, Iowa, a small community just outside of Cedar Rapids. Our farm is situated in the heart of 20 acres of timber down a long and windy lane, Silver Fox Lane. Our mission is to help flower lovers and growers alike discover happiness in slow living and small rituals like arranging flowers throughout your home, planting seeds in your own backyard, or gifting flowers to someone you love. We are a chemical and pesticide free operation. Because our farm is located at our home, we are not open to the public. But we do offer private events and photo sessions throughout the growing season. Be sure to follow along on Instagram, Facebook and our Blog for the most up-to-date information.
THE FACE BEHIND THE FLOWERS
I'm Darcy, a photographer and stationery designer turned small scale flower farmer. A creative at heart, a renovation junky (currently fixing up our forever home) who loves to putter around the house arranging and rearranging, and most recently, an empty nester who's now filling her days with growing flowers instead of raising babies.
I've always found myself to be happiest when connected to nature. A place to quiet the noise and unwind. I'm one of those people who love the heat and humidity, I know, we're rare. My passion for gardening started nearly 30 years ago with the purchase of my first home. For me, it wasn't about growing abundant produce to feed my family, but more of a challenge to see if I could actually do it, and I did, the fruit was my reward. In the midst of raising a family and growing a business, the garden was an escape of sorts. There, time didn't seem to exist, it still doesn't.
And then one day cut flowers entered the chat, and it was over, I was hooked, game on, challenge accepted. (I'm seeing a pattern!). I would go on to grow way more than I needed every year and giveaway most, the gift of giving was the reward. Fast forward to 2022, we had an incredible opportunity to purchase this property which came with an immense amount of work. But somehow in between, I convinced my husband that this was the dream, well, it was mine anyway. In 2024, we cleared some land, doubled that in 2025 and have even bigger dreams for the future.
Today, I would love to share a little piece of my happiness with you. Whether it's through a bouquet of flowers, a packet of seeds, blooms for a significant event, big or small. I would love to help you bring the joy of flowers into your life and others.
