Welcome, I’m Sarah

As a family that moves often, I’ve learned to treasure the simple, timeless constants. For me, that constant has always been flowers. No matter where we settle, they bloom, quietly and faithfully, reminding me that beauty can always find a way, no matter the circumstances. That’s why I created Frolic & Fare: to share the joy of flowers and the simple pleasure of infusing beauty into every season, wherever you are.

our Garden

Nestled in the heart of zone 7b, my little garden is beginning to bloom. It’s our second year in this home, and while my hands are still learning the rhythm of the soil, my heart is deeply entwined with this tiny patch of Earth here in Virginia.

the Journal

a collection of our recipes, inspiration, gardening, and more. Every recipe is developed, tested & photographed by me. Some recipes take time and a little patience, and that’s totally fine with our friends at frolic & fare. It’s all about dreaming big, nurturing ideas, and growing through the experience. (Fun fact: our longest recipe time is for flower infused honey, which takes 30+ days)
