We are looking for someone to help take our flower operations to the next level!

Wild Hope Farm is a certified organic farm in Chester, SC, specializing in vegetable and flower production. The 220 acre property consists of 12 acres in cultivation, greenhouses, walking trails, a 10-acre pond, and diversified natural areas. Our produce is sold through a 300-400 person CSA farm share, to local food hubs and chefs, and at two farmers markets in the greater Charlotte area (Uptown and Matthews Farmers Markets). We also host complementary on-farm events including retreats, farm-to-table dinners, and educational workshops to cultivate community and encourage people to learn about our farming practices.

We are currently growing on ~1 acre of diverse annual flowers in addition to ¼ acre of perennial flowers. We sell our flowers through a 60 member CSA, at both farmers markets and to a few florists. There is great potential for expanding the flower production by expanding acres. We would need to build out our markets by building relationships with florists or ramping up the flower CSA.
