You may know Sarah Foxworthy as Families Coordinator at 3Crosses Church. Her husband Austin is Families Pastor at 3Crosses Church. They are both the proud parents of  Maddox, Scarlett and Nash. With the launching of their holiday pop-up, Foxworthy Floral, they have added “small business owner” to their resumes. This energetic couple recently opened “a flower truck” at the corner of Castro Valley Blvd. and Wilbeam (across from Chipotle).  On Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons until the end of December, look for Foxy, a beautifully restored, custom 1941  Ford flatbed truck loaded with buckets of beautiful flowers and the trimmings.

Foxworthy Floral encourages their customers to be involved in creating  one-of-kind bouquets. Customers choose flowers, special tags and ribbons and Sarah arranges them.  Flowers are sold by the stem.  As she learns the preferences of her customers, Sarah hand-picks the blossoms at the San Francisco Flower Mart. Currently, Sarah has some jolly Frosty the Snowman vases that are perfect hostess gifts that can be filled with flowers or succulents. Arrangements are also available upon request and customers can bring in their own vases if they like. 

Sarah grew up loving flowers.  She smiles as she remembers her landscape contactor father, Stephen Wright,  quizzing  her on the names of flowers like other parents might call out spelling words. With his passing in 2021, Sarah wanted to do something  in his memory.  When she first suggested this venture to her husband, he was a little skeptical.  That all changed when she told him they needed to look for a truck!  That was a project he could get behind!  Austin found the truck on Craigslist in San Jose and will enthusiastically talk about the truck to anyone stopping by their flower stand. 

Sarah says that one of the best parts of Foxworthy Floral is meeting her customers.  “So often the flowers are a gift for a special occasion to brighten someone’s day.  I am so happy to be a part of that.” Overhearing our conversation, a customer added, “Sarah’s beautiful smile makes the whole transaction a joy.”  Check out their weekly hours and read more about them at www.Foxworthyfloral.com or Instagram: foxworthyfloral
