Wow, this is definitely a hidden gem, and i am not sure that i want to share it with you all…read more This is a family owned business that grows their own strawberries. Every year we go there, even though it'll take over an hour to drive to, it is well worth the strawberries. These are all pick your own and are non GMO based. They aren't sprayed with pesticides and are able to be eaten off the vine. They had some of the largest strawberries I've ever seen (outside of the genetically modified ones you may get from the stores). They have tons of rows of strawberries to pick from, and there is rarely a chance to find any rows that are completely empty. They sell them at $3/pound, which in my eyes, is great, especially for the quality of these strawberries. This year was a little different, as they were also growing cabbage, lettuce and rhubarb. *though you couldn't pick your own, it was available inside their little cozy store* They had a great selection of hanging flowers as well and we picked one up to hang outside of our house. If you like ice cream, they have locally sourced ice cream that was amazing. my kids love eating it every time. Overall, this is definitely the best place to do 'pick your own' strawberries, and definitely worth the drive.

Great local farm stand with an optional you- pick strawberry farm…read more The stand offers a great variety of fruits and veggies, plants, jars/jams and ice cream.

The Thursday market is year round at the armory sports complex. This Saturday, the weather was perfect for a stroll through downtown Southern Pines. We parked nearby and walked to the market. The Saturday open market is dog friendly. Vendors vary. It's a good size, not overwhelming, but provides ample products. There was live music and a variety of local items for sale. I purchased turnips, tomatoes, and loose-leaf tea. Each of the vendors we interacted with were friendly and sold their products at reasonable prices.

Seriously the best peaches I've ever had in my entire life. I've never been a fan a fresh peaches,…read morepreferring the canned kind. Yes, I really just said that. Turns out I just never had a good peach before (poor, California girl). Peak season is mid-July to mid-August. I learned a bit about peaches today. Come earlier, and they'll be "cling", as in, the pit sticks to the flesh. Right now (late August), they're "freestone", and it easily falls off. I forget what they're called during the stage in between, but having samples them for myself, I'll just call them perfect. =) I'll definitely be making a trip down there next summer for another half bushel.

I feel so lucky to live so close to this farmers' market. It's open 7 days a week, but the…read moreweekends are definitely more "open" than the rest of the week - with ALL the stalls open. There are lots of produce choices, several plant stalls, a couple of meat vendors, several florists, and then some truly great food vendors. There is also a whole indoor area with lots of great vendors, some food options, and coffee. It's absolutely ginormous! It's a must visit when in Raleigh!

This was a MUST STOP on our trip to Raleigh. Easy to find and plenty of parking…read more We went on a Tuesday afternoon so there were a good deal of booths not open. However, there was a ton of live plants and truckloads of fresh vegetables for sale. Couple that with gourmet cheeses and baked and canned goods and you have a situation you could spend a lot of money on. As a snack, we bought a jalapeño cheese roll which was very good. You could definitely do some wallet damage here. I'd like to see this place on a weekend. My one criticism are the produce prices. $3.99/lb for slicing tomatoes and $12 for a watermelon. Other produce is equally expensive. This is rather boujee pricing and it's obvious they aren't targeting the average consumer. I love supporting local farmers but prices like this make it difficult. Come and check it out for yourself. It really is a sight to see and you could spend a whole morning or afternoon here. But guard your wallet. It would be easy to get carried away here.

Today for the 1st time we went to the Raleigh Farmers Market and was absolutely shocked at their offerings. All the vendors are eager to serve and please so, we loaded up on fruits and vegetables.

We LOVED this place. I've been to large farmer's markets before ( some bigger, some smaller) but…read morethis one is great. It has a lot to offer w\o being too big or small. Visited recently late on a Sunday ( maybe an hour before they closed) Great location with plenty of parking. Besides fresh produce, it also has fresh fish, a seafood restaurant, and a few other specialty shops. Open 7 days a week, I would go all the time if I lived in the area. But like most farmer's markets, "most" prices are no cheaper than your local grocery store, but the selecatiosn here are great. Espeially now in the Fall with tiomns of pumpkins & gourds, Saw stands with huige selections of plants & shrubs for home gardens & landscaping. Bought some fresh NC corn & honey. One stand had a HUGE selection of almost every pepper I ever heard off. Cant wait to go back. ( no pets!)

I did purchase a perilla plant for my aunt and one for myself. Perilla (Perilla frutescens) is an aromatic herb from the mint family, known by many names like shiso, beefsteak plant, and Chinese basil, and is popular in Asian cuisine for its distinct flavor. It's an annual plant with colorful, serrated leaves that can be green, purple, or bicolored, used fresh in salads, soups, and with fish, or for its seeds and oil. While edible and used in cooking, some varieties are considered invasive in North America and can be toxic to livestock.

There's never a bad time for a stroll through the Triad Farmers Market,…read morebut the heat of summer is going to treat you to a bevy of vegetables like you would not believe. You'll find the freshest picked everything, from cucumbers to tomatoes and all points between. The market is fully covered, providing some much needed shade, and there are some permanent vendors that have an indoor facility such as an ice cream parlor, candy and fudge, general store, etc. There are full bathroom facilities on site, and even a restaurant called the Moose Cafe at the back which served southern favorites. Of course, what is offered depends on the season. You'll find a bounty of selections starting in late spring, through the summer, and into the fall. In the winter, produce starts to become more sparse, but there is no shortage of places to buy your Christmas tree if you celebrate with one of those. Best advice is to bring cash, but many vendors can take a card these days. You may get charged a little extra for using plastic in some spots though, and to help with these folks margins, cash is preferable.

While visiting our daughter, we decided to go apple picking. The day that we went (8/30) was the…read morefirst day of apple picking season. You have to purchase tickets online (no on-site sales) and it's $18.95 pp which gives you access to the apple orchard, apple tasting, hayride to the orchard, cider pressing demonstration with a fresh cider sample and access to the catch and release fishing pond. They suggest that you bring your own pole and bait. You also get to sample an apple cider slushee which was refreshing after being in the sun picking apples. If you want to pick apples, it's an additional cost based on whether you want a 1/4 peck or 1/2 peck. You have to purchase that when you purchase your event ticket. The apples that they had available were Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Fuji and a really tart apple that's good for baking (I forget the name of the apple). They also have Arkansas Black apples but they weren't ready for picking yet. We had a great time picking apples. We're from South Florida where you only see apples in the grocery store. There's a play area for the kids to run around and play. It's a fun activity, especially if you have kids.
