Hannah Rose Rivers Muller has deep roots at Full Belly Farm, nestled in Northern California’s picturesque Capay Valley. Born and raised amidst its sprawling 350 acres of certified organic fruits, vegetables, and livestock, she absorbed the essence of farming and floristry like water through soil. Her childhood was spent exploring flower fields, napping in harvest baskets, and witnessing her mother’s expert care expand the farm’s floral offerings.
Despite Full Belly Farm’s diverse produce, Hannah’s heart lies in its fifteen acres of cut flowers. From childhood play to adult passion, these fields define her purpose. Now, alongside an 80-person team, she is poised to become one of its owners, driven by a commitment to the farm’s legacy.
Hannah is celebrated for pioneering Northern California’s field-to-vase movement. Her floral arrangements uniquely mirror the surrounding landscape, incorporating blooms, fruits, and vegetables grown onsite. Her expertise in identifying and preserving flowers for lasting beauty is showcased in her recent work, “Designing With Dried Flowers.”
Her online presence, chronicling life in the fields and the enchanting “Wreath Room,” attracts thousands. Followers revel in glimpses of the farm’s golden light and the whimsical, everlasting floral creations she crafts. Her dedication to sustainability extends beyond aesthetics, supporting year-round employment through dried flower initiatives.
At the heart of Hannah’s journey is her mother, Dru Rivers, a pioneer in organic farming. Dru’s expertise in floral design and sustainable practices shaped Full Belly’s growth, inspiring Hannah’s commitment to organic integrity and mindful cultivation.
For Hannah, Full Belly Farm isn’t just a workplace; it’s a canvas where she cultivates beauty, ensuring its blooms endure long after they’re harvested.
