What a DELIGHTFUL gem in Garner! Holl & Stone Farms is a cute farmstand and store featuring a bar, cute store, and ice cream truck. The ice cream is New Zealand style soft serve, which is jam packed with fruit. I tried the blueberry basil which was absolutely delicious. They also offer other more traditional style ice cream like cookies and cream. The nice little touch they add is putting biscoff cookie or other cookie with every scoop. The cute store is worth a peruse to look at cook books, plants, and other perfect giftables! And save some time to look at the farm animals. There's a herd of friendly alpacas, a coop of chickens (and a free roaming rooster) and even some goats. The animals are so cute and friendly! I will say the parking lots get kind of full, but there's definitely a good amount of spots. You might just need to be a little patient. read more

Stopped by Holl & Stone while it was strawberry season and as we kept seeing photos of the soft serve ice cream. When you arrive there is plenty of parking located in front of the shop and off to the side. The farm feels like it a boutique, modern, animal experiences, and elevated eats/drinks. To walk into the farm you'll proceed through the middle of the complex where there's a second level to the right and a market to the left. We first checked out the animal exhibits which included alpacas, goats and chickens. I had never seen alpacas up that close. Then headed over to the food truck for some soft serve ice cream. I ordered the New Zealand style blueberry basil in a waffle cone which was excellent. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by holl & stone for ice cream and everything else it has to offer. read more

Great local stop to visit. The staff are very nice and the animals are all friendly. There is plenty of hay to feed the alpacas, llamas, and goats. The ice cream is made to order and there is a variety of beverages to purchase. There are also locally made popsicles. I wish there were more food options. They have snacks but if you are hungry I would recommend grabbing a bite somewhere before heading here. read more

Great overall experience! Come out and feed the goats, chickens, alpacas or the llama. And don't forget to say hi to the roaming rooster. Great fun for the little ones and a great summer hang out. There are a variety of beers and wines on tap and some bar snacks. Nice upstairs lounge area. The main attraction for me is- the ice cream! It was deliciously homemade. Try the blueberry basil. Fresh blueberries and basil. Not too sweet. We also enjoyed a watermelon ice pop and a chocolate chip fudge I believe. All were delicious and full of flavor. Service was excellent. Be prepared for the bugs though. Wear bug repellent- you'll need it. Definitely will return to this gem. read more

I stopped here after my workout and it is such a cute little farm! There's alpacas and goats, but the goat section was crowded so I only viewed the alpacas. They have coffee, beer, water, other non-alcoholic beverages and New Zealand soft serve ice cream. They also sell plants, alpaca fiber products, pottery, and unique gifts. read more

Super cool farm. I've never really been to a farm. So didn't know what to expect. But there was something for everyone. Ice cream, food, trinkets and plants. Animals and coffee. And of course beer and wine. I came for the coffee. An iced coffee. They also have a small produce section. Lots of seating and places to rent for parties. Parking was a bit hectic, a lot of cars parked at lake benson. But other than that, a pretty cool place. read more

Awesome place for local gifts, ice cream, hydroponic greens, and cute animals! Plus you don't have to pay to see the animals. It's free to walk around and view the llamas, alpacas, chickens, and goats. I've been wanting to visit Holl & Stone Farms for a while and finally made the trip over. It was definitely worth it. The employees are welcoming and helpful. The microgreens are delicious. I haven't tried the ice cream yet, but it seemed to be very popular. I am a fan of New Zealand style soft serve and like that the menu changes with the seasons. During my visits, I checked out the animals and shopped for a gift. I loved the pots resembling wood bark and wanted to use one outside. One of the owners offered to drill a hole in the bottom, which was perfect! read more

A great atmosphere to hang with friends or your family. Their bar and upstairs balcony area is open. The fireplace, first come, first served. Wood provided. A great gift shop area, plants for your garden, or home. And remember to enjoy their New Zealand style fruit/ice cream! Feed the animals, or just watch them frolicking. It is a fun day spent. read more

This place is awesome. A real gem. Beautiful scenery, and everybody is very pleasant.

This small mom-and-pop farmers market is truly one of those hidden gems that makes you feel right at home the second you arrive. From feeding the goats and alpacas to grabbing an ice cream, coffee, or drink, there's something here for everyone.

They also host maker's markets where local artisans come out to sell their crafts, which makes every visit feel special and a little different each time. When I say this is an ADORABLE place to bring your kids, spend time outdoors, or simply enjoy a drink in a relaxed setting, I mean it with my whole heart. Holl & Stone is the kind of place you visit once and immediately plan to come back again and again. read more

Im going to start by saying that this place is an Amazing spot! Drove out here for the 1st time with no expectations. I wanted to get out of the house and I've been following them on social media. Drove about 30 minutes from the Carey area. I love the vibe of this whole place. I did order a Blueberry/Basil Cone that was an amazing mix. They make every ice cream mix to order and from scratch. What really impressed me was that this place is technically a petting farm with a retail store but the animal areas were spotless. You couldn't smell anything but the grass. The goat yard was clean and free of feces, same with the chicken runs and the main field for the llamas. That main barn looks amazing. The design of the barn tells you how well these animals are probably being cared for. I also like that all the animal areas have a place where the animal has a choice to either participate or walk away. This is huge from a welfare stand point. I work in the animal welfare field and was amazed I didn't smell any urine or poop. Even a little. I can't wait to come back and bring some friends with me. If you're considering coming here and are reading this, don't sleep on this place. It's that great. read more

We just ran into the farm on our way home! Soooo amazing this place is. We are new to North Carolina and will be back with grandkids and look forward to any fundraisers you might have or special occasion days. Love the story of the farm! You're doing an amazing job!

Hardly any animals, and little chance of petting them. Merchandise was inadequately priced, read over-priced. Also a Lady selling painting wanted $80 for what she confirmed was a reprint!!! It's a roughly 5x10" reprint... and no, it's not framed. Folks seemed nice, but that was a waste of gas. read more

Small but lots of goodies! Local honey from right up the street, good variety of plants and autumn gourds. read more

Yay!! We are so excited that this farm is now open!! We live and few minutes away and my favorite thing to do is drive past the alpacas to say hello. We went for the first time today and fell in love. We were able to see the alpacas and goats free of charge. We checked out the beautiful array of products, food and plants. We also ate the BEST ice cream we've ever had - blueberry basil & strawberry mint absolutely incredible. Lots of seating and incredibly nice staff. We are so excited to have a cute & fun place within walking distance!! Thank you!! read more

From the sensational dream of husbands Burton Buffaloe and Dustin Smith comes the local farmers market we all been to waiting all summer for! Located in Garner, NC this mixed space will remind you of Rose Apothecary with its rustic charm and high quality products. The husbands' dream is present around every corner, including the goats and alpaca just a short walk away from the parking lot. Feel free to browse at the variety of plants and produce while enjoying a freshly made New Zealand style soft serve. Their produce is some of the freshest we have had and at an unbelievable price. We are excited to see this dream continue to evolve as the seasons change, and so should you! read more

Great to have Holl and Stone right down the street from us. We have visited the farm twice so far and will come back again (and again) to see seasonal updates and for the ice cream. We could use more of this in Garner. read more
