Enjoy the Full Bloom of Western N.C. Flower Farms

Summer is blossoming, and so are Asheville-area flower farms. From fresh offerings of peonies and poppies to zinnias and dahlias, there is no shortage of ways to bring the vibrant outdoor colors in. Flower farms provide their wares at farmers’ markets across Western North Carolina, or through flower bouquet shares (similar to CSA shares). Some farms also offer pick-your-own options for guests to create custom clusters.

Flying Cloud Farm – This Fairview farm sells its blooms in mixed bouquets at the River Arts District Farmers Market (Wednesdays) and the North Asheville Tailgate Market (Saturdays). And flower bouquet shares can be tacked on to Flying Cloud’s produce CSA shares: Each week, a fresh bouquet accompanies your box for the 20-week regular CSA season. Flying Cloud flowers are also available at its farm roadside stand every day May through mid-October. In addition, you can pick your own at the farm mid-July through mid-October.
