A new small business has taken root in Princeton — Barefoot Blooms shares beautiful wildflowers with the community every Saturday at the Princeton Farmers Market.
Owner Lucia DeLeon of Princeton says she and her husband grow all the flowers in their backyard.

At the moment, Barefoot Blooms is only available at the farmers market; however, DeLeon recently brought her flowers to MJ’s Lattes and says she would love to do more pop-ups.
She says giving people flowers are like giving a little piece of yourself to someone else.
