Jesika Harper, North Idaho native and cut flower farmer, began Westwood Flower Farm in 2025 as a personal project to reinforce a commitment to living with greater intention after having spent over 20 years working in corporate agriculture.

Having grown up on a peach and cherry farm, she developed a strong connection to how food is grown and a deep appreciation for farmers and ranchers who steward the land.

For years, Jesika has helped young and small producers throughout the West build their agricultural businesses, drawing inspiration from their dedication. This connection to the land began early—as you'll see in photos of her children helping in the garden over 18 years ago, where she taught them the importance of knowing where their food comes from and the value of organic growing practices.

Now, with her children grown, she's pursuing her dream of flower farming. "It's a dream I can't ignore anymore," Jesika shares about Westwood Flower Farm. None of this would be possible without her husband Alan's unwavering support, tireless work ethic, and encouragement—from late nights seeding in the greenhouse to building infrastructure that withstands North Idaho's long winters.

When not tending her flowers or working with agricultural producers, Jesika finds peace in the mountains, exploring backcountry trails with Alan and her beloved mules—a perfect balance to farm life.
