When Farms Collide: The Story Behind Urban Roots Collective

In a tale of friendly rivalry turned blossoming partnership, Jody and Mady, two passionate farmers, have once again leveled up, transforming their business into Urban Roots Collective. What started as a competition between neighboring farms has flourished into a partnership that offers a full range of heritage meats, naturally grown produce, florals, eggs, and more—all operating at Barefoot Acres.

“Both Mady and I were driven by our love for the earth and its blossoms,” says Jody. “We found ourselves constantly inspiring each other, which naturally led to the idea of combining our talents. The result is Urban Roots Collective, where every product and arrangement is a reflection of our shared passion and creativity.”

Urban Roots Collective stands out in the industry with its commitment to sustainability and farm-to-table and farm-to-vase philosophies. Unlike traditional suppliers who source products from distant locations, Jody and Mady grow their produce and flowers locally and naturally on their farms. Their heritage meats, florals, eggs, and other offerings are rooted in environmentally responsible farming practices.

“We believe that flowers, food, and everything we offer should tell a story, and that story starts on our farms,” adds Mady. “Each product we create is infused with care, creativity, and a touch of whimsy. We want our customers to feel the love and dedication in every bite and every bloom.”

Whether you’re planning a wedding, hosting an intimate gathering, or simply looking for a unique bouquet “just because,” Urban Roots Collective offers a range of services to meet your needs. Their website showcases their offerings and provides details on how to collaborate with them for your next event.

For those who want to dive into the world of floral design, Jody and Mady will be hosting flower events where participants can learn the art of arranging flowers in a fun and supportive environment.

Urban Roots Collective is about more than just farming; it’s about sharing a love for nature, creativity, and sustainability.
