IN TODAY’S EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ALL ABOUT THE BLOOMS, THE RHYTHM OF MICHELLE’S GROWING SEASON, AND WHAT IT’S LIKE TO RAISE FLOWERS—AND A BUSINESS—WHERE THE TOWN MELTS INTO THE COUNTRYSIDE. WE’LL ALSO EXPLORE WHAT MAKES LIFE IN THE PEACE REGION SO RICH, FROM HIDDEN GEMS TO THE BEAUTY OF SMALL-TOWN LIVING.

Michelle Gnam is a greenhouse grower and flower farmer in Fairview Alberta. When she is not in the garden or greenhouse you will find her in her community helping with local sports programs. An intense level of believing she can do anything she focuses on has led her back to her hometown after studying chemistry and biology and working in the upstream production chemicals for 6 years.

She now farms in the most Instagram worthy setting surrounded by beautiful flowers, warm sunshine and wonderful people. Always wanting to learn and grow means in the offseason you will find Michelle drinking copious amounts of coffee, researching, and continuing to plan and grow her field of dreams.

The Mighty Peace region is steeped in agricultural heritage, where generations of farmers have cultivated the land to nourish their families, communities, and beyond. From the early homesteaders who first broke the soil to today’s forward-thinking producers embracing sustainable practices, agriculture has long been the backbone of the region’s economy and culture.

With fertile fields, diverse crops, and dedicated farming families, the Mighty Peace region thrives as a hub of agricultural excellence, seamlessly blending tradition with innovation to support a resilient and vibrant future.

Mighty Peace Tourism, a not-for-profit society, works closely with its members to promote the Peace and Smoky River regions as premier destinations for travel and investment. Tirelessly showcasing the best of northwest Alberta, they aim to grow a sustainable tourism industry by attracting visitors, encouraging extended stays, and inspiring exploration of the region’s natural beauty and hidden gems.
