About
The Farm
Looking South-West from the top most terrace: Evan pictured before the rear our house with the Deep River in the background.
The home fields are located in Cedar Falls, NC where we live in an 1850's Greek Revival house that was built for the Austin-Lawrence Family. Here we've focused on establishing perennial crops that can fit into our hilly and irregular landscape. We have about an 1/8th of an acre here for annual row crop plantings spread over ten terraces. Our neighbors let us use another 1/8th acre or so for row crops in an unfenced area of their property. There we plant annual crops that aren't interesting for deer or groundhog. And new this year, we are expanding to another historic property near Siler City, The Marley House. There we have another 1/4 acre and in addition to flowers, we are utilizing this space to also grow select vegetables to compliment our stand at farmers markets.
How To Buy Our Flowers
Farmers Markets
Our farmers market setup includes seasonal mixed bouquets and jars. Additionally, we may have straight bunches of flowers, specialty mixes or even produce. Everything we sell we grow. Everything we grow, we grow following organic practices or better. Follow us on Instagram to stay up-to-date on our weekly offerings. Tuesdays - 4pm to 6pm: Fearrington Farmers Market in Pittsboro. Saturdays - 8am to Noon: The Corner Farmers Market.
From April to November we make twice weekly deliveries to the co-op grocery store in Pittsboro called Chatham Marketplace. Selling there is special for us. Selling to the co-op is how we got started in 2019 before expanding out into farmers markets and CSAs. Evan also managed this store for the first five years that we lived in North Carolina.
Available every-other week in season, you can purchase our seasonal mixed bouquets through Millboro & Co's Online Store. Convenient pick-up and delivery options in the Guilford/ Randolph County area. 5 minutes up the road from us, these wonderful neighbors are working on building a resilient food community and we love getting to be a part of it.
CSA Subscriptions
In early Spring each year we offer CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) subscriptions in partnership with two farms. Millboro & Co for pick-ups in the Asheboro area and Four Dog Farm for pick-ups in the Pittsboro area. CSAs are great for farmers and locavores alike. We get much needed money upfront during the part of the year where money isn't coming in yet and you get a deal for paying up front. Subscriptions can be standalone or an add-on to vegetable subscriptions with these farms.
Options for weddings and events, invitations to pop-up markets or special events, on-farm pick-up, etc... Anything is possible and we're happy to talk it through with you. Find more on our Weddings/ Events Page
The Owners
Nicole and Evan are Deep River Flower Farm. They moved to North Carolina in 2019, relocating from Pittsburgh, PA. For the first five years in NC, Evan worked full-time in Pittsboro managing the co-op while Nicole built up a flower farm business from scratch and worked part-time for two vegetable farms. Little by little Evan would need to start helping on days off and before and after work. As of 2024, they now both work full-time on farm.
The couple began farming by working for a family in western MD in 2010. In 2011, they worked for an orchard in central PA before moving to Pittsburgh. There Nicole continued to gain farm experience working farmers markets for a vegetable farm for several seasons as well as for a goat farm that produced cheese. In Pittsburgh, the couple began Centervue Gardens and attended a weekly farmers market.
