Our Story
Creeksouth Farms officially began in 2019. However, the idea of starting a small farm and producing quality food began over 10 years ago. After learning about the farming industry’s unsustainable growing practices, i.e., monocultures, chemical fertilizers, GMOs, pesticides, and more, we built a small vegetable garden in the backyard of our rental home. Then one day, we decided why not do the same, but on a larger scale. So we purchased 10 acres of raw land Southeast of San Marcos, on the outskirts of a magical little town, called Martindale.
It was an exciting milestone, however, the weight of this new debt and maintaining 10 acres became overwhelming quickly. So, we found peace by cultivating a small cut-flower garden that produced a few blooms for our kitchen table.
By the time we set things in motion to start a flower farm, a global pandemic was on the rise. We planted hundreds of seeds in hopes of an abundant harvest we could share with our community. However, as those seeds started blooming, the Covid-19 cases started rising. The goals we set for ourselves and the farm seemed unachievable. However, with the help of our supportive community, we started making contact-free deliveries and scheduling farm pick-ups. Learning about customers’ stories and their needs for flowers was enlightening. We discovered that most everyone purchases flowers out of love. Our job now, was to help spread that love.

Hello! I’m Chelsea, the farmer, florist, flower child, and hopeless romantic behind Creeksouth Farms. I love creating and sharing my passion with others, especially when it comes to flowers. I’ve worn a lot of different hats professionally, but flowers have always been my true passion.
I’m a huge foodie! I love cooking with fresh vegetables and herbs and creating romantic tablescapes.
When I’m not tending to the fields, you can find me at the San Marcos River or thrifting antique treasures.
