Dear Flowering Rock Farm Community,

Spring has sprung and so has market season!

Find us here!

• Saturday, May 3: WNC Regional Farmer’s Market Spring Festival 9AM-5PM. We are at Truck Shed #4!
• Tuesday, May 6: Opening day of the Fletcher Community Farmer’s Market 3-6PM at Fletcher Town Hall

Plant Starts: We are so excited to offer plant starts this year! You can purchase our various starts at Ecusta Market & Cafe located in Hendersonville. They will also be available this Saturday at the WNC Farmer’s Market Spring Festival from 9AM-5PM (we are in Truck Shed #4) and the opening day of the Fletcher Community Farmer’s Market on Tuesday, May 6 from 3-6PM at Fletcher Town Hall. After the Fletcher market, we will have them available locally at our farm stand…just in time for Mother’s Day gifts!

Starts include varieties of tomatoes (Homestead, Hartman’s Yellow Gooseberry, cherry sweetie, San Marzano), herbs (chamomile, lemon basil, cinnamon basil, Genovese basil, parsley, cilantro), flowers (marigolds, statice, ageratum, nasturtium), and other veggies (sweet banana peppers, cucumbers, small sugar pumpkins)!

Mother’s Day Gifts: Need a present for Mom? A gift certificate for our flower subscription would be a great present along with some plant starts! Our flower CSA subscriptions can be purchased at our online store! Printed gift certificates are available to pick up, deliver, mail, or find them locally at Rooted in Wine. Please contact us floweringrockfarmnc@gmail.com with questions!

Farm Stand: Our farm stand continues to be open for locals only because of road closures, but we are excited to serve our local community. Construction on 74A has begun and is expected to continue until 2027. We will have our stand open to local traffic as long as we are able to. Eggs are available, and flowers will be coming soon! Stay tuned!

Flower Bar: Our flower bar is available for your events! It is a great addition to a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party, or other special event. Reserve your date today!

Baby Chicks: Our first clutch of pure bred Black Australorps started hatching today! These will not be for sale but our mixed breed pullets will be available in June and laying hens will be ready come August. Our silkie also became a first-time mom last month! She is doing a great job raising 5 healthy chicks on her own.

As always, we’re incredibly grateful for your support as we continue to grow and nurture our farm. If you have any questions or want to subscribe to our newsletter, feel free to reach out. We hope to see you soon!

With love and gratitude,

The Stanfords
