About Natalie Mauer

When I was a New Mama, I felt guilty that I couldn’t keep my kids healthy. I felt shame about running to the Dr. all the time for advice. I also felt shame and guilt about compromising as I tried to juggle being Mama and my Career. I want to share what I’ve learned to help Mamas like you avoid the guilt, shame, and compromise as you keep your family healthy naturally.

Current situation. I’ve been weeding for hours Current situation. I’ve been weeding for hours and I know I’m making progress. I wonder if I’ll ever hit the halfway mark before I look back and see that there are weeds from whence I came. The bees are buzzing and birds are tweeting. Listening to Funny Story by Emily Henry as I work. It’s officially 70° and time for some water and to put on shorts and a white T-shirt. Then back to love on some peonies and lilacs by removing more weeds. . . . . . #naturesounds #sustainablegardening #gardenvibes #birdwatching #springgarden #gardeningfun #gardenhappiness #plantenthusiast #greenspaces #gardendays #gardenenthusiast #gardenescape #stayhydrated #natureloversunite #natureloversparadise #gardeningpassion #gardencare #gardenjourney #gardenlifestyle #greenthumb #gardenlife #gardeningcommunity #ecofriendlygardening #gardengoals #gardendreams #gardenlove #seasonalgardening #gardenprogress #plantcare
They’re back! The first time I heard these guys They’re back! The first time I heard these guys last year, they sounded like what I imagined a pterodactyl would sound like. And then I saw them, and they appeared to me, like a cross between an armadillo and a turkey. They are loyal to one another, and you rarely see one by itself. They started visiting us last year when the grass was tall and there were grasshoppers. This year it was fun to see them show up earlier. They still crack me up. And oh my! They are so loud. We are happy to have them around. They have not been anything but helpful, eating their full of grasshoppers, and then going home. Oh, and sometimes they leave the random egg here and there. Taste like chicken.

Your family is so lucky you are a flower farmer! T Your family is so lucky you are a flower farmer! They must love it!! 😂 The truth is almost all the beautiful flowers go to our buyers or friends. We keep the too short ones, the ones that won’t open, the ones we damaged in harvest, or the ones battered by pests. They still have beauty though, for a while anyway. #coppercliffflowerfarm . . . . . #flowerfarmers #flowerfarmer #sustainablefarming #flowersofinstagram #farmliving #flowerfields #flowerfarming #farmfamily #seasonalflowers #homegrownflowers #flowerfarms #farmlife #farmersmarket #farmfreshflowers #flowerharvest #farmlifestyle #farmtotable
Can you guess what this flower is? We’re plant Can you guess what this flower is? We’re planting these for the first time and hope to see them blooming in July. This particular blend is named after one of my favorite desserts. This flower is used by Native Americans in their traditional medicine and rituals. The flowers have medicinal properties that are beneficial to the skin. It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The Navajo tribe holds the flower in high regard as one of their sacred Life Medicines. The blooms also provide a valuable source of pollen nectar for bees and other pollinators. #coppercliffflowerfarm . . . . . #pollinatorfriendly #nativeamericanheritage #nativeplants #skinbenefits #antiinflammatory #pollinatorgarden #medicinalflowers #traditionalmedicine

I do not know what language I’m speaking here. 😆 My family let me sleep in, which is awesome. I want to make this reel because I want to explain that sometimes I feel guilty when my husband goes into the office and my son goes to high school and I get to be here in this beautiful place. (And then my mouth would not work. Ha! AND Messy Hair Don’t Care.) And then on mornings when they let me sleep in, sometimes I feel extra guilty. And the truth is they’ve been really open with me that they know I work really hard up here and sometimes they feel guilty leaving me here all by myself. Regardless, there’s lots of chores to do today and first there will be coffee. Wishes for you to have a wonderful day. #coppercliffflowerfarm . . . . . #familymatters #familyfirst #familyconnections #familygoals #liveinthemoment #homesweethome #mindfulmoments #happyday #embracetheday #lifeunfiltered #balancinglife #bepresent #familybonding #reflectandgrow #heartandhome #familyjoy #lifewithfamily #gratefulheart #enjoythejourney #celebratelife #simplejoys #peacefulmind #lifeisgood #heartfeltmoments #contentcreation #messyhairdontcare #makingmemories #seizetheday #morningroutine

I did some repairs on Saturday with a sticky tape that didn’t work. So I updated with couplers and I’m gonna go and see if they are an integrity.

Our neighboring Copper Cliff Café is opening on May Day and our flowers will decorate each table. Hope to see you there! From Copper Cliff Cafe: May Day, May Day, the Copper Cliff is opening for the season! The Blue Plate Special for May 1st at the Copper Cliff Cafe is called the Carnitas Bender.

It consists of perfectly seasoned, shredded chicken finished with orange and lime zest and juice and served in a homemade naan bread topped with…well, I’m working on that. It’ll be delicious no matter what! This will be served with fries and dessert, which most of you hard core fans know, to be our famous Crack Rocca!

Want to guess how many lilac bushes? We knew last Want to guess how many lilac bushes? We knew last year we would need to better protect this area. There are lots of woody plants here and the deer, the male deer, particularly appreciate these lilacs and left proof of rubbing antlers on them, for who knows how many years before we bought the farm. 😢 We’ve weeded around all the lilacs at this point, I think. They display all these beautiful buds, and I’m excited to see them come to life soon. If you guess how many plants and share your guess with me, I will go out and count them and let you know how close you are to the correct count. We have purple, white, and pink lilac bushes, and I can’t wait to enjoy their aroma and look forward to getting them into the hands of flower lovers.

Mystery work. Yesterday Steve and I spent hours w Mystery work. Yesterday Steve and I spent hours weeding in the perennial field. He worked to finish the first of three rows of peonies. It’s a little easier to work around shoots that are coming up than the existing woody plants. I wish I had a map of how the previous farmers planted this field. I’m weeding around these woody plants, and I don’t know what they are. I also don’t know if they’re still alive. But we are going to give them the best chance to thrive this spring and summer. I’m not sure what percentage of the weeding is done in this field, and I’m going to celebrate what we have accomplished.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a former co Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a former corporate professional who traded in the boardroom for the beauty of mountain soil, following a deep-rooted dream to work the earth and grow flowers that bring joy and connection. Alongside my husband, our adventurous son, and our lively crew of animals, I now run a flower farm tucked away in the stunning mountains of Montana. Our days are filled with dirt under our nails, laughter in the fields, and endless awe for the beauty nature offers. I believe in the magic that happens when you slow down, plant seeds—literally and metaphorically—and watch life bloom. I’d love to have you follow along as we nurture this dream, one stem at a time. #coppercliffflowerfarm. . . . . . #gardeninglife #flowermagic #montanaadventures #mountainfarm #farmlife #gardenlife #flowerlovers #natureinspiredliving #mountainbeauty #farmfamily #floraljourney #flowerfieldsforever #gardendreams #sustainablefarming #bloomwithus #flowerfarmers #dreambig #farmadventure #gardenmagic #mountainescape #gardeningjoy #familytime #gardeningwithlove #flowerfarm #homegrown #naturefamily #familyfarm #familyadventure #floraldreams
Today on the farm. Steve took on weeding and our Today on the farm. Steve took on weeding and our largest flower field. We keep telling ourselves this is going to be the toughest year because it’s been neglected for three or four years. It’s gonna be so worth it. These plants already look happier. He began counting and estimates that there are more than 300 penny plants. I didn’t think there were that many but he’s right. I wonder how many blooms there will be. 🤔 I took on repairing the irrigation drip tape so we can begin watering all the perennials in this field. This gorilla product made the process so much easier than I expected. Now I can turn the water on early in the morning so that it can provide moisture to help all of these plants grow. #coppercliffflowerfarm . . . . . #gardenmaintenance #gardeningcommunity #gardentools #irrigationrepair #gardeningtips #irrigation #gardenchallenge #farmjourney #perennials #ecofriendlyfarming #gardenrestoration #gardenwork #irrigationsystem #farmchores #agriculturelife #gardengoals #gardenhappiness #sustainablegardening #gardenpassion #sustainablefarming #flowerfield #farmlife #fieldwork #gardenproject
