Outlook Flower and Bulb is a partnership between Joel Martin (formerly JMartin and Friend Farm) and Harvey Hess in order to develop a more robust business and marketing plan.

Joel will be continuing to focus on the growing and harvesting of the flowers and bulbs while Harvey will focus on marketing, sales, and logistics. We will be working together on developing opportunities regarding new crops, new equipment to help streamline processes, and logistics.

We are passionate about US Grown product and look forward to working with the floral industry to promote local and US grown flowers

We produce several unique flowers and are expanding our acres in the next 2 -3 years and adding some new products.  

Yakima Valley has fertile volcanic and alluvial soils, which are ideal for growing a wide variety of flowers. The soils are often well-draining, which helps prevent root rot and other moisture-related problems.

Compared to wetter regions (like Western Washington), the drier air in Yakima Valley results in fewer fungal diseases and pests, which is especially helpful for organic or low-chemical flower farming.
