Just outside downtown Greenville, South Carolina, Rabbit Crest Farms is a hidden gem for flower lovers and nature enthusiasts. This family-owned farm is more than just a place to pick fresh blooms—it’s a beautiful space to enjoy picnics, family time, and more.

During my visit, I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah and her young daughter, who, despite being under two years old, is already an eager farm hand and an excellent quality-control flower selector. Their passion for flowers and farming was evident, making Rabbit Crest Farms a truly special place to experience.
