Meet the Farmers
Lindsey and Robert Poe are the proud owners & operators of Poe Family Farm. Purchasing the farm in the spring of 2014, we have spent over 10 years learning the land and farming everything under the sun. From pasture raised meats to acres of produce, we really have grown it all. Some ideas succeeded, some failed. But, with our love for the land and our desire for a life of farming, we never gave up. With so many uncertainties that come with the trade, we finally decided to concentrate on growing what makes us the happiest...flowers.
Hi, I'm Lindsey. I was born and raised in the Piedmont of NC. From a young age I developed a strong love for nature and the outdoors. My Grandmother was a Master Gardener and an avid lover of plants & flowers. Under her guidance, I learned about gardening and various blooms. Many of times, I can remember riding along with my "Gammy" who would notice a beautiful patch of flowers in someone's yard and immediately pull the car over to knock on their door. After a welcomed conversation and usually a tour of their garden, Gammy would most often leave with some newfound plant knowledge and some gifted bulbs the homeowner generously allowed her to dig up. I vividly remember how those flowers always made her happy. They made me happy, too. Flowers have a way of adding that something special to people's life experiences. Whether it's the color of the blooms, the sweetness of their scent or just the way in that they were given to you, they can change any moment in an instant.

Hi, I'm Robert. Although, I do not have as many specific memories associated with flowers as Lindsey does, I do have a great love for farming and for our land. When we first bought our farm, we were expecting our 3rd child. I knew that not only was this land an opportunity for me to create something that could support my growing family, but it was also a place where we could raise our kids with the strong family values that were important to us. Over the years, I have watched my children grow and develop their own love for nature and the outdoors. I have seen the kindness they show when taking care of our animals, the gentleness they use when helping plant vegetables in the garden, and the joy that fills their hearts when picking our fresh flowers. These things make all of the difficulties involved with farming worth it. I know that this life is shaping them in a good way and that the values & experiences that they gain here on the farm will be with them all of their lives. Plus, I love driving my tractor.
