Choose Your Experience

Wander the farm, relax in the pool, enjoy the serenity of the farm.

The Farm Stay Experience

Experience the magical beauty and tranquility of Firefly Farm, a 26-acre flower farm nestled in the lush countryside near the historic town of Hillsborough, North Carolina.

Immerse yourself in farm life. Stroll our paths and visit our farm animals. Take part in our seasonal delights: flowers bloom April to September, fireflies glitter at dusk during Summer while birds and butterflies delight during the day and Fall brings crisp air as the leaves change (as well as Witch Hazel's haunted barn)!

U-pick Flower Experience

Self check-in at the barn - grab your harvesting supplies and take a photo of the farm map. You may spend your time wandering the farm, going from flower patch to flower patch. You may also say hello to the horses, miniature donkeys, and goats. Even the chickens will come running to say hello. There are also trails you may choose to explore, including the pasture walk and the newly expanded pond walk. Bring a picnic and hangout on the farm. A portable restroom is available at the barn. Allow yourself at least an hour to pick flowers.

Season ends Saturday, September 12, 2026.

One way in, around you go, always reaching the center.

The Labyrinth Experience

Walk the Labyrinth - one way in, one way out. The path leads to the copse of trees in the middle of the meadow - a thin place to savor and reflect as you will. Take your time and walk, enjoying the quiet and beauty of nature. Let your mind wander as you walk, contemplating whatever comes to mind. Let go and be.

Open year round every Saturday from sunrise to sunset.

Dig It: A Fall Writing Experience

Saturday, September 12, 10:30 am till 12:30 pm.

Set amidst the beautiful and serene grounds of Firefly Farm, this nature-inspired writing workshop is designed to help you slow down and explore the transformative power of writing. It’s open to participants of all skill levels, from aspiring writers to those with more advanced writing experience. Our writing theme will be digging—whether that’s reflecting on what you’ve unearthed about yourself over the past year, exploring your ancestral roots and lineage, or delving into other uncharted terrain or turning points in your life. The workshop will take place in the main house of the farm.

Experience flowers in your home or office

With our flower subscriptions (Tulip, Spring or Summer), you can have flowers each week for your home or office. There are options to pick up the flowers on the farm or in a location near you. Experience fresh flowers that will last and last. Let the beauty of the farm come to you!
