Internship information
General Farm Description: Perry-winkle Farm grows a diverse mix of vegetable and cut flower crops for 3 weekly farmers’ markets in northern Chatham County, NC. We have been “growing flowers and food for our neighbors” since 1991 and are looking forward to our 33rd season. Our vegetable production includes an emphasis on specialty potatoes, salad greens and peppers. We grow three seasons of cut flowers for mixed bouquet sales at market, for on-farm design work, and bulk bucket flowers for DYI weddings and other special events. We also raise laying hens in moveable "Egg McMansions", rotating them through the farm's production areas and adjacent fields.
