Grower Emily Merletto grows flowers at Over the Moon Farm in Moncure, a few miles south of Pittsboro. She and her husband also grow vegetables and fruits and raise livestock and honey bees on the farm.
Emily started selling flowers in 2020 while also scaling up other enterprises such as heirloom apples, figs, and honey production. These, along with bouquet and wreath making workshops, will become available this fall. Stay tuned for details!
You can find Emily's beautiful bouquets at The Phoenix Bakery in Pittsboro. Emily also does custom orders and events, and offers a Flower Club where customers can select the size of arrangement they want, choose a pickup location, and get a beautiful bouquet every week! Emily also makes gorgeous dried flower wreaths, garlands, and arrangements.

I took the photos below on two visits in late May and late June. Check the photo captions for additional details.
