Our Story
What happens when you ❤️ flowers, are captivated by old barns and farmhouses, and find all sorts of inspiration and wonder in nature? You dream BIG and start growing flowers bursting with color, open a floral design studio (because those flowers are too pretty not to share!) and renovate a gorgeous old barn for magical, garden-inspired gatherings.
Hi there 👋 I’m Kara, and I’m so happy you found us.
The Barn of Chapel Hill at Wild Flora Farm is my twenty-two acre family flower farm and floral design studio located only 12 miles from downtown Chapel Hill, North Carolina. We specialize in cut flowers and honey, floral workshops, and garden-inspired weddings and special events.
Built in 1864 in Marcy, New York, our historic barn was relocated to the farm in the fall of 2016.
The barn is the perfect blend of historic and modern (but don’t take my word for it; stop by for a visit and see for yourself!)

And the barn today!
Our barn hosts all types of celebrations, including corporate parties and team building retreats, bar and bat mitzvahs, holiday parties, weddings and rehearsal dinners, private flower workshops, and farm-to-table dinners.
Our in-house floral design team creates all the #FlowerMagic for our events, and we work closely with other flower farmers in the area to source as many local blooms as possible.
We strongly support state and national efforts to protect pollinators, and, working with Bee Downtown, we established an apiary in the spring of 2016. 🐝 Proceeds from the honey produced on the farm are donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
Contact us today for more information about our farm, to plan a visit, or to book your wedding or special event!
