Berkeley Micro-Farmer Supplies Bay Area With Beautiful Local Flowers

For Rebecca Letz, the choice of a florist for her backyard Berkeley wedding was easy: her younger sister, Joanna.

Joanna Letz, 34, is founder and chief visionary behind Bluma Farm in the Sunol AgPark, just 30 miles south of her native Berkeley. At Bluma’s 2-acre plot, she grows as many as 50 varieties of flowers ranging from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
