The Florist and the Farmer is a family-owned floral and greenhouse business blooming in Wanamingo, Minnesota. Owned by Jim and Susie Beulke, the business beautifully blends Susie’s lifelong love of floral design with Jim’s deep roots in farming and greenhouse growing. Together, they provide custom floral arrangements for weddings, funerals, events, and special occasions, while also operating Beulke’s Greenhouse, known for its healthy plants and welcoming atmosphere.
Susie grew up in a greenhouse family and has been surrounded by flowers her entire life. Her creativity, eye for detail, and passion for design brings warmth and personality to every arrangement. Jim, raised on a vegetable farm, expanded his growing expertise into flowers, plants, and produce—creating a business built on quality, care, and a true love for the land.
Each spring, Beulke’s Greenhouse opens its retail location in Wanamingo. The Beulkes also sell at Twin Cities farmers markets while caring for nearly 1,000 cemetery urns across 28 cemeteries, which they plant, tend, and personally deliver each year.
Inside the retail space, visitors will find a thoughtfully curated mix of event rentals, garden seeds, charming gift items, and unique décor pieces that make it an amazing place to explore. Whether you’re planning a special celebration, starting a garden, or simply stopping in for inspiration, the space feels warm, welcoming, and full of small touches that reflect the care behind the business. It’s a place where ideas grow just as beautifully as the plants themselves.
Giving back to the community is at the heart of what they do. Each season, the Beulkes offer a self-serve vegetable market, providing extraordinary, farm-fresh vegetables at amazing prices. Built on trust and community spirit, the market invites neighbors to stop in, choose what they need, and enjoy locally grown produce that is as fresh as it gets, making healthy food accessible and affordable for everyone.
Family is woven into every part of the business. Their children, Ellyn and Jack, help when they can, alongside extended family and long-time employees who return year after year. From the greenhouses to the floral shop to the vegetable stand, everything at The Florist and the Farmer is truly grown with love.
