Who We Are

A Floral Design Studio at Front Porch Farm

Tucked between the lush flower fields of our organic farm, Flower Porch is a home for nature connection, creativity, and community. Located on our 110-acre biodiverse property in Northern California's Russian River Valley, our studio offers a unique blend of floral design services and inspiring workshops. Our floral design team specializes in creating arrangements that capture the essence of the season. We use flowers sourced directly from our own organic farm to transform spaces and create singular experiences of natural beauty for you and your guests.

Jaclyn Edds Konczal

Jaclyn is our resident floral artist, known for her wild and unconventional designs. With a deep connection to the natural world and a background as a visual artist, she creates sensual designs that evoke romance, intrigue, and a distinct sense of place. Jaclyn is an expert at turning unexpected blooms—and even the occasional vegetable!—into the star of the show.

Her floral journey began in 2012 in San Francisco, where she took floristry classes and worked at a legendary sidewalk flower shop. She went on to design weddings and events at premier venues, from San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum to the Plaza in New York City.

Since joining Front Porch Farm in 2021 as our lead floral designer, Jaclyn has been creating magic in collaboration with the earth and her beloved crew of farmer friends. When she's not designing, you can find her sharing fun facts about the cosmos, roller skating, and enjoying the beauty of Sonoma County with the people she loves.

Zoe Hitchner

Zoe is a true farmer florist who manages the cultivation of Front Porch Farm’s 7-acre cut-flower program. With 15 years of farming and over a decade of floral design experience, she draws from her deep well of knowledge to grow sensational blooms for Bay Area florists and Flower Porch. Thanks to Zoe's leadership and our dedicated flower crew, Front Porch Farm is known throughout the Bay Area for flowers of exceptional quality and beauty.

When she's not busy with all things floral, Zoe loves picking peaches on a farm walk with her children, playing in the river with her family, or starting a dance party in the packing shed.

Our Farm

Peter and Mimi Buckley acquired Front Porch Farm in 2010. They began transforming the property, formerly a vineyard, into a thriving biodiverse farm guided by a simple principle: diversity is nature’s basic pattern.

Today, the farm is buzzing with pollinators and talented, hard-working farmers. We grow delicious fruit, vibrant veggies, and beautiful flowers that you can find at the Napa, Marin, and Healdsburg farmers' markets. Our harvests are also featured on the menus and in the vases of some of the Bay Area's finest chefs and florists.
