ORLANDO, Fla. — When you work on the farm, it's all about repetition. The repetition is something Linda Gutierrez knows all too well, but something that hardly gets old when she wakes up knowing she gets to feed week-old baby goats. 

What You Need To Know

  • Linda Gutierrez is a proud farm owner and Central Florida resident for 40 years 

  • One goal is to live and teach more sustainability

  • The farm features goats, which is used to make goat cheese

  • Wildflower Farm is open for events and classes. You can book them on its website 

“They just fill your heart with joy, and we wanted to share that with the community," Gutierrez said.

A proud farm owner and resident in Central Florida for more than 40 years, Gutierrez grew up with a love for animals, spending long hours as part of the 4-H Club over a 10-year period. All of that practice allowed her to eventually open Wildflower Farm in 2016. 

What truly started the idea of opening the farm to the public were their baby yoga goat classes. They were the first farm in Orlando to offer classes featuring baby goats. From there they continued to evolve and started offering Fables on the Farm, Family Time on the Farm, and Party in the Pasture all of these experiences giving guests a chance to experience what they do on a daily basis. 

It's safe to say Gutierrez and her husband, Rick Carlson, went all in on the farm together. Knowing it was a dream to live and work on a farm Carlson quit a 20-year office job and began working full time on the farm with his wife to create all the experiences you'll see at Wildflower Farm today. 

“Many of the people that have lived here have been here for years, so it's a close-knit community," Gutierrez said. 

It's a close-knit community that has welcomed Gutierrez and Carlson and their growing farm with open arms. Neighbors and guests alike appreciate their mission, one in which they strive to live a more sustainable life and also teach sustainability. 

With their chickens and goats, she's able to do that selling homegrown eggs and making her own goat cheeses and soaps. It's an effort that they will continue to grow and foster, raising their goats with the mission of sustainability. 

Wildflower Farm is open for classes and events and you can reserve a spot on their website. Their calendar and the description of events can be seen on their website at WildFlowerFarmOrlando.com.
