Bloom Hill Farm + Hartville Hardware

Who is Bloom Hill?

We've always had big dreams of owning a farm with a garden, chickens, and a small piece of land that we can call our own. We would drive through our favorite streets in Hartville and look at all the small farms and properties with dreams of one day being able to own one.

As our flowers and our passion grew, we worked endlessly to learn more and grow. We dreamed up our flower stand so that we could be at home and still sell our blooms. We always say the flower stand was our "blessing in disguise." It gave us the privilege to pour into our children and serve our customers at the same time! I'll forever be grateful for the stand. It's allowed me to pick wild blackberries with the kids, take a dip in the pool, and create memories with them when I would otherwise be standing at a market.

Four seasons later, we've created this little farm into something bigger than we ever dreamed. And we haven't stopped dreaming! We have big plans for the farm that include more opportunities for our customers to experience and learn from the farm. We love getting to share about how growing flowers has changed our lives. We believe it can change yours too! That's why we are here. Spreading the love of flowers.

Why Hartville Hardware?

Over the last ten years, Hartville Hardware (and the other Hartville business such as the Hartville Marketplace & Flea Market and Hartville Kitchen) have been our favorite businesses to support. When Judd and I bought our first home in the Historic Ridgewood neighborhood in Canton, we'd take weekend trips to the old Hartville Hardware building to get supplies and design ideas for our new fixer upper. Sure, we could have made the shorter trip to the big box hardware stores, but WHY? We always sought out Hartville Hardware because we received the help, instruction, and advice we needed from their staff. At Hartville Hardware, you couldn't walk 2 minutes without someone asking you if you needed help finding something. The employees were knowledgeable, happy to help, and treated you like a best friend who came to them with a problem to solve.

When we bought our farm in 2015, we were over the moon excited that our favorite locally run businesses were right down the street from us! Our kids affectionately called Hartville Hardware the "John Deere Grocery Store." A trip to the hardware store was the ultimate treat and bribe for our son and sometimes, it was a much-needed trip out of the house for our very young family. Supporting Hartville Hardware always felt SO good to us.

Over the last couple of years, we have taken basic sketches of project ideas for the farm, and with the help of the Hartville Hardware employees, these mere ideas have come to life! Judd would head in with a few pictures on his phone and an employee would take the time to troubleshoot the idea and come up with the solution. Is there anything more valuable than someone who is vested and interested in your project? When the opportunity for this partnership with Hartville Hardware came up, we were so excited at the possibilities!
