Step onto the dirt road and into the vibrant world of high-altitude flower farming with Beth Brinkerhoff, owner of Teton Flower Farm in Victor, Idaho. In this episode of Dirt Road Discussions, she shares her story of what it takes to grow, harvest, and market delicate flowers in one of the state’s most challenging climates. 

Beth and her husband learned how to use geothermal resources to heat and cool crops naturally using underground air tubes. Beth breaks down the reality of her daily routine—from pre-dawn harvests to fulfilling orders for Jackson Hole florists and Whole Foods—and shares her plans to expand into agritourism with "cut-your-own-bouquet" nights.
