2026 Subscriptions Now Avaliable ❋
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.
What We Offer
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.
Subscriptions & Arrangements
Buy directly from the farm with seasonally available design services. Choose from the subscription model and/or made-to-order daily arrangements.
Workshops
Interested in learning more about flower growing or design methods?
Our workshops are a hands-on way to learn about why local flowers are so unique and how to grow or play with them on your own.
Featured Products
(Formerly known as our Ranunculus Only subscription). Starting in late March / early April (exact date TBA), every Friday for 4 weeks you’ll receive a nice mixed bouquet with a heavy focus on ranunculus. Purchasing a “share” of this year’s Spring crops guarantees these flowers a home while supporting our small farm business pre-season - at a time of year when we need it most.
What has changed for 2026?
While this subscription is still heavy on ranunculus, it is not the only flower you’ll receive. This gives us the flexibility to make anything work, no matter the weather or how certain crops perform.
New crops, new colors and new varieties!

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
