An Oxford couple, who set a sunflower field on their dairy farm and used it to raise funds for charity, established another flower field, this time as a commercial venture.
Kerry McCorry and Scott Evans Leite 850 Cows at Scott’s second generation family.
The success of South Eyre Sunflowers gave Kerry McCorry, the idea of a new event business involving its restored shear shed and a wildflower field.
“I’ve learned for the past three years that people love the” choice your own “experience and photo opportunities that accompany it,” says Kerry.
“I always really loved flowers and photography, so I saw an opportunity to create something on the farm here, where we can combine the two together with the wool Shed.
“I believe we have something really special to share with people,” she says.
Wool was steam clean from top to bottom, which led Kerry about six weeks away every day.
Scott, who is a former contestant by profession, managed to fix the doors, windows and floor areas that needed work.
” Everything has gone well and seems impressive now.
“Everyone who appears loves,” said Kerry.
The new venture Wildflower/Woolshed had an exciting first season.
Woolshed has already hosted a wedding escape and two 21st anniversary parties were reserved.
Everyone, from preschools to resting home residents who visited the wild flower field this season “liked and liked it,” says Kerry.
“It’s a healthy thing and I’m looking forward to next season.” “
South Eyre Sunflowers, a chosen sunflower experience, and a fundraising event for the Iamhope mental health charity and the Oxford community, kept Kerry and Scott, who shared a large, mixed, extremely busy family.
The initiative in the last three years was a huge success, with $ 36,350 raised this year alone.
$ 18,175 from this year’s backgrounds will be donated to the mental health charity gumboots on Friday/Iamhope.
Another $ 18,175 will be released around the Oxford community, including $ 7970 for the Givealtlet page, created for Lilith, a little girl from Wee Oxford and her mother Grace.
Lilith, who is only three, is fighting a Wilms Tumor Stage Four, which is an aggressive form of kidney cancer.
The remaining funds of South Eyre sunflowers will be divided between the Oxford Area School Ag Club, the Oxford Fire Service and the Oxford Community Trust, which will receive $ 2041.
The remaining $ 2041 will be kept in the account to cover the costs for next sunflower season.
