Butler Family Farm is owned by Timmy Butler and his 9 siblings in Roseboro, NC.
This 109-year-old farm has been in Timmy Butler’s family since his grandfather bought the original 14 acres for $140. Butler Farm grows a variety of produce, raises hogs, and planted family kitchen gardens. Currently, the ten siblings are looking to add USDA Certified Organic farmers to their repertoire.
Timmy became a CFSA member and enrolled in Organic Certification Consulting which is free to farmers.
Louise, another Owner of the farm and Timmy’s sister, grows all the farm’s seedlings in a small greenhouse behind her home, the family’s main gathering place. She also tends a beautiful flower and kitchen garden, that includes beautiful lettuce.
Butler has eager buyers from local grocery stores like Weaver Street Market and restaurants for his pesticide-free basil, tomatoes, jalapenos, and watermelons. He’s excited for the future connections that certification will bring.
Exciting things are happening at Butler Family Farms. From digging a new pond for future irrigation expansion to mailing off their organic certification application—the Butler siblings and their century farm aren’t slowing down.
