#118: The Book That Changed My Life: Interview with Author Lynn Byczynski

Friends, Lynn Byczynski’s book, The Flower Farmer is what redirected my life path. While Lynn and I have come to be friends through the years, it was a surreal moment to chat with her about the book that changed everything for me.

I also loved hearing about her other major contribution to the farming world, founding Growing For Market over 30 years ago. It is a magazine for farmers by farmers and also played a key role in forming me as a flower farmer. One of Lynn’s longtime passions has been growing delicious food. It wasn’t surprising to learn that Lynn’s family’s business has become the USA distributor of the Seeds From Italy line of seeds.
