Kirbe is joined by Dr. Liz Fiedler Mergen—a nurse practitioner, flower farmer, entrepreneur, author, speaker, and host of the Rooted Agritourism podcast.
In 2020, Liz found herself facing difficult decisions about family and the future of a fifth-generation Minnesota farm.
What began as a small flower stand at the end of her driveway soon grew into a thriving agritourism destination, wedding flower business, and event venue that now welcomes visitors from across the region.
Liz shares about the meaning of her agricultural roots, why flowers became a source of healing during a time of grief, and how she transformed her family’s farm into a revenue-generating business designed to serve future generations.
