We might have only survived January thus far but the farm is already gearing up for the spring season! Registration for the spring season will happen in the next month or so and the spring Veggie Boxes will start in early May. We've been busy planting our most popular crops of bunched greens, bok choy, lettuce, radicchio, and fennel in the ground as well as some later plantings of spinach. We keep planting different ages/successions of plants to harvest each season. With two heated green houses and covered spaces for the spinach, we can continue to plant and tend to transplants year round! These babies pictured here should be ready for their harvest in about 4 to 6 weeks.

About the farm
We love sharing our passion for good farm food! Eating fresh, vibrant veggies and delicious, flavorful farm meats is an easy choice with Bluebird Farm’s customizable veggie, beef, and pork boxes. Taste the difference with local farm food. We believe that food should be grown with biological methods that improve the health of the land, plants, and animals while sustaining the farmers that grow your food. Our greatest passion is to grow delicious food for you and your family while caring for the land.
We’re growing for you!
Farmers Marie Williamson and William Lyons started Bluebird Farm in 2009 on the land that Marie grew up on in Morganton, North Carolina. They earn their livelihood growing food on the farm, and love the beauty of food and land. They are passionate about the art of grazing livestock, and they feed their meat hogs certified organic grains. They work hard to raise healthy, flavorful vegetables, pastured meats, and eggs using biological techniques that improve the health of their land and contribute to a diverse farm ecosystem.
