History

Located on three acres in Mooresville, AL, 1818 Farms was founded by Natasha McCrary in 2013. Named for the year Mooresville was incorporated (one year before Alabama became a state), the farm honors local history while embracing sustainable practices. The property includes 15,000+ flowers, small livestock, and a historic village backdrop, reflecting a blend of agricultural heritage and modern lifestyle branding.

Practices

The farm prioritizes sustainability through heirloom seed preservation, small-batch production, and eco-friendly packaging. Their Seed to Vase initiative educates visitors on flower cultivation and arrangement. Workshops and events—ranging from pressed flower art to eco-printing—emphasize hands-on learning. Products are handmade with therapeutic-grade ingredients, and the farm hosts self-guided tours every Friday during bloom season.

Offerings

1818 Farms sells skincare (like award-winning Shea Creme), candles, home goods, and floral arrangements. Their 'Where I Bloom' collection includes state-themed coasters and discounted bundles. The farm also offers subscription services for personalized product delivery and wholesale partnerships. Unique items include resin art trays and eco-printed silk scarves, all crafted on-site.

Visiting

Self-guided tours run Fridays, May–August, from 1–3 PM. Visitors can stroll through flower fields, explore the drying room, and shop skincare and artisan goods at The Cottage. Private tours and workshops are available for groups, with options like pressed flower candle holders and dried flower wreath-making. Admission is free, but comfortable shoes are recommended.

Buying

Products are sold online, in stores nationwide, and via the farm’s catalog. A subscription service allows customers to set custom delivery schedules. Wholesale inquiries and retailer partnerships are encouraged through the farm’s contact list. Discounts and bundles (e.g., the 'Will You Be My Bridesmaid?' gift set) are available online with codes like WIB26.
