About Us

---

We purchased this farm 6 years ago. We have almost 12 acres. The farm is in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. I knew when we purchased it that I wanted to do something with the land. Growing up in Delaware, my grandparents had a farm that we always went to on weekends. My Mom's Dad was a dairy farmer and sold milk in the local town door to door in the 1930's. Milk sold for 12 cents a quart!  Eventually he just grew soybeans or corn on the land. The Delaware farm is a centennial farm as it has been in our family for over 100 years and my brother continues to farm on the land. So even though I have an accounting background and have mostly lived in neighborhoods with ½ acre lots, I grew up understanding what it is like to somewhat grow up on a farm. I never would have guessed that I would become a flower farmer.

I have always grown flowers and had large flower beds. I have been a Forsyth County extension master gardener volunteer since 2015.  I started farming in March of 2015 when we purchased the farm.  In August 2015,  I attended the Chatham County Cooperative Extension workshop on “Growing Cut Flowers for Market” in Pittsboro, NC.  I learned so much at that two day workshop. I thought I was going to grow vegetables and sell at the local farmers market. I came home from that workshop and told my husband “I love flowers, and I can make money growing flowers on the farm”.  I began farming on four 100 foot rows. Now, I have forty 100 foot rows for cut flowers. The cut flower field is surrounded by deer fencing and is about 1 acre.
