Buffalo Boss Babe: Christy Muck

Let me start out by saying Christy is a straight up bad ass Buffalo Boss Babe. This woman farms like a true boss.... I have watched her make an amazing flower arrangement with her eyes closed and a cup of coffee in her hand ( No Seriously).

Christy Muck  is the owner of Wild Blossom Hollow. She is a local flower farmer and organically inspired designer in her hometown of Forestville N.Y. She started Wild Blossom Hollow in 2014, and what started as a hobby has turned into an ever blossoming farm and design studio.

Every flower on her farm is naturally grown from seed, bulb, bare root or plant. That in itself is amazing and some serious work everyday.  There are absolutely no chemicals used in the growing process and her lady hens are her bug catchers.

We asked Christy some questions about hopes, dreams, life and so much more.... 

What made you start or brought you to where you are today? Tell us your story and what makes you a Buffalo Boss Babe. 

C: I could answer this question by telling you an extremely heartfelt story if why I chose to be a flower farmer/floral designer, but I am currently teaching my 6 yr old that speaking the truth is best. ;)

Several years ago, as a stay at home mom with 3 kids under the age of 3 I was desperate for a way to release  my energy other than cleaning up toys and changing diapers. I started to feel trapped inside my very busy home that was run by these mini human who screamed mom at all hours of the day. I started to feel like I wasn't me, that somehow my new identity as mom had taken over every part of my being. I started to feel my days roll right into one another and started to more alone than I ever have even though I was surround by the 3 amazing kids who I loved more than anything and who loved me just as much. I started packing my crew up and we headed outside and I started a little perennial garden. They would play and I would plant. At  night I started researching and then after the last little headed to school I took a leap of faith in myself and started Wild Blossom Hollow. So much has changed since I planted my first plant, especially my inner self.

My dream is to someday create a local floral shop that has an attached cutting garden. I want to bring more people out to our fabulous little town. ( Fun fact Christy and I live in the same small town and found each other by chance! )
