About Millstone Meadows Daylily Farm

Millstone Meadows Farm, nestled in the NC foothills outside of Morganton,NC is a 20+ year old
daylily farm featuring over 1200 AHS recognized cultivars.

Qwners Mark and Sara Hord are now managing the farm, continuing the daylily business,
adding new varieties and beginning to hybridize new varieties. They have also expanded the venture
to include a variety of culinary herbs, cut flowers, heirloom tomatoes and other garden vegetables.
Millstone Meadows Farm is an ideal spot for events and is available for weddings, dinner events,
luncheons, garden club gatherings and tours.

A culinary chef, Sara also offers gourmet catering both on and off premise and regularly
features her many products, such as tomato sauces, herb gellees, fresh baked breads and full
gourmet meals at Millstone Market and Kitchen, 207 South King Street, in Morganton. This
restaurant and Gourmet-to-Go market is serving Morganton's finest meals for both dine-in and take-
out. All of the foods are made with natural and organically raised ingredients, many locally grown.
Business hours are 11:00-6:00 Tuesday-Thursday and 11:00-9:00 on Fridays. The Friday night
Tapas menu along with select beer and wines have made this the HOT place in town.

A Daylily Festival is hosted in June during the peak daylily bloom season. The public is
welcome to visit during the summer bloom months and enjoy food, festivities and flowers. Daylilies
are for sale as well as other farm products all summer. Please contact Millstone Meadows Daylily Farm
for more information on events and services or drop by and see our farm.

We are raising several varieties of farm animals, "no pesticide" vegetables along with the flowers.
Laying hens provide eggs daily, in many assorted colors. Dairy goats supply milk for Sara's cheeses.
St. Croix sheep are now being raised for their rich milk for cheese as well as meat for the farm
dinners. We are also raising hogs for meat as well. All of our animals are protected by our wonderful
Great Pyrennes dogs.

Our farm also consists of a barnyard full of animals! We are raising St. Croix sheep, which are very white and beautiful. We have 8 beautiful lambs that were
born this spring! We will be planning future farm dinners ttasty meals from the barnyard.. We also have Great Pyrenees dogs that are the guardians of the
barn yard. Daisy Duke, our dam, and Kady, one of her pups, keep TROUBLE away from the livestock .

We also have a variety of free-ranging chickens that lay the prettiest and best tasting eggs. Our catfish pond has crested mallard ducks and geese, which keep
us entertained, and Charlie, our peacock, roams the farm daily and is quite beautiful when he is fanning his tail feathers!
