Specialty cut flowers with an ecological focus.

Farm & design in Durham, NC.

Started in 2018 after a decade of work in sustainable agriculture across the country and around the world, CBF's mission is two-fold: to grow an extremely high quality agricultural product for the local floral market; and to do so through ultimate care of the soil and immediate ecosystem.

Flower Farm

The heart of our business! We grow or source locally all of the flowers found in our design arrangements and classes.

We also sell wholesale flowers through the local wholesale co-operative.

from $200.00

This one is for the givers! Do you love giving flowers to your favorite people for any occasion? Purchasing this subscription is like doing the year’s shopping in advance for up to four bouquets / arrangements. It provides:

  • peace of mind for you, knowing that you have purchased all your gifts (birthdays, celebrations, self-care) in advance;

  • flexibility in seasonality (available for dates of your choice throughout the growing season);

  • flexibility in your giving plans. Decide you want one of the bouquets for yourself? No problem! The four bouquets are yours to spend however and whenever you decide during the 2026 season.

This subscription is for you if you love giving flowers to your favorite people and would benefit from a little forethought and planning. You trust us to provide the best of what’s in the field, occasionally supplementing from other local growers when necessary. Whether mixed or straight, the recipient will always receive a deluxe bouquet or vase arrangement with local, ecologically-grown, seasonal flowers grown & designed by Clear Black Flowers.

How it works:

  • Bouquet fulfillment can happen anytime between MARCH 15 - NOV 15, 2026

  • Email us all the dates / recipient information in advance; OR play it by ear and contact us in the moment with at least 48 hours notice

Notes:

  • The subscription does not have a pick up option.

  • Bouquets & arrangements are farmer’s choice - we will do our best to accommodate color preferences, but cannot guarantee any specific requests.

Four weeks of abundance! This subscription is for you (or yours) if you love flowers and you trust us to give you the best of what’s in the field, supplementing when necessary from our peers at Piedmont Wholesale Flowers. Usually you will receive a mixed bouquet, but sometimes a straight bunch of one flower will take precedence (eg. peonies!) - it all depends what looks the best on a week-to-week basis.
