From Chesapeake it was about a 25 minute drive out to this farm in Pungo. We went early, around 12 , on a Saturday afternoon. We wanted to be the rain. You have to purchase and choose available pick times online. You can arrive anytime but can't do the u-pick until your designated slot time. We arrived and there was plenty of parking. We looked around the market first. It wasn't huge but they had a great variety of different jams, jellies, salsa, baked goods and fresh fruit and veggies. Everything was reasonably priced! We went directly outside the market to a little table to check in for blueberry picking! There young lady was polite . She scanned our qr code and gave us arm bands. She did let us know that there were a couple blackberry bushes out there as well that we could pick also. It isn't advertised because they're aren't a lot of plants. A short walk to the entrance to the patch and there picking began!! It was nice because there weren't a lot of people out so the rows weren't crowded. The bushes still had lots of ripe fruit on them! We picked for about 20 minutes, Paid 8 dollars for our pint and went to the car to take a much needed cool off break. We were told that we could walk or drive over to the orchard. It wasn't a long walk, but in the heat, and if you're carrying a box of peaches, it could be a bit much. We drove over to the orchard, parked and checked in at a little shed nearby. we picked peaches for about twenty minutes and even noticed that there were a couple nectarine trees as well. the peaches were not ripe.However, that did not deter us from picking. A simple trip home and storing them in a brown paper bag would ripen them up perfectly in about three days! We paid 20 for a half peck box. It filled up very quickly. Overall great experience!! We are going back to try the ice cream and to pick apples during that season!

My friends and I purchased tickets an ahead of time online and we did have to ask where to go for peach picking once we got there. The fruit fields were gorgeous and kept so nice. At the peach fields we were given a 1/2 peck baskets to pick and then purchase. After picking we paid at the booth, we checked out the farm stand where they sell fresh homemade ice cream. The ice cream flavors rotate. Flavors I noticed were sweet corn and Ube. This is a great place to bring family for fun activities.

Knotts Island Market is located on Knotts Island in Knotts Island, NC. This area is accessible by…read morethe Knotts Island-Currituck Ferry or coming in from Virginia along Route 615. In Virginia, the road is Princess Anne Rd. and changes to Knotts Island Rd. when you enter North Carolina. My visit here was on May 2, 2024. I haven't been down to Knotts Island in quite a while. My neighbor gave me the idea to come down here to get gas for the lawn mower as they sell pure gas (non-ethanol). Coming down from Virginia Beach, it does take some time, but I am glad I came down here. When I first came up to the place, I could tell it looked more like an "old school" gas station. It felt like a bit of history. When I came inside, I was surprised that it was more than a gas station or convenience store. There is a limited supply of this gas, so there is a limit to how much you can get. You will have to pay for gas inside. The attendant inside will hold your credit/debit card while you get the gas and then will charge the actual amount at that time. Gas is available on a first come, first serve basis, so be sure to contact the store ahead of time to ensure gas is available. The area is pretty quiet, so there isn't much to choose from, but there is a lot of natural beauty around. This store looks to be more of a general store and grocery store as you can get fresh produce, etc. Think of this place as an elevated convenience store with much more options than a typical convenience store. Overall, my experience was great here. I'm glad my neighbor told me about this place, and I will look to do this in the future as well. I love the small town vibe to the place. If you are in this area, this place is worth checking out, whether it is for gas or other general items. This is the prime example of supporting a local business.

This farm always participates in the strawberry picking season and the price is about $4/lb for U Pick. The employees are friendly and it's a no frills strawberry type of farm. The farm itself is on the smaller side but still has enough rows of Strawberries for your picking needs. Our recent trip resulted in a Ton of great looking strawberries but weren't as sweet as we were expecting but it was still tasty. The parking space here can fill up quickly. Recommended wearing closed toes shoes, esp when there is a recent rain storm. Still love to come here and pick some strawberries and will continue to come.

I came here yesterday on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in hopes of picking some strawberries with my family. The place was hopping! Which got me confused when I saw the sign "U pick closed." Evidently they've been so busy with people picking strawberries they were pretty much picked over. They had a fun inventory of gifts, fresh produce, fresh dairy, drinks, jams, and candy. I will definitely be coming back!

We were initially going to stop by the annual Strawberry Festival in Pungo, but ended up at Brookdale Farm nearby. It was pretty empty when we went around 4/5pm on Saturday. It's so scenic and peaceful out in Pungo and my friend and I had so much fun walking through the field and picking strawberries. Apparently, it's toward the end of the picking season, but we found some beautiful and plump berries! We each filled up the bucket ($1) and we both paid around $12-13 (I want to say between 4-5lb). I'd suggest possibly wearing long sleeves or gloves while picking because there are little bugs when you lift the vines up to pick. My wrists and arms are a bit itchy but nothing too bothersome. I'll definitely have to come back next season! The stand where you pay also has an array of jams and butters that you can purchase.

Layden's Supermarket - A Meat Lover's Paradise!…read more I would highly recommend Layden's Supermarket to anyone looking for top-quality meats and a unique shopping experience. They have the best steaks, chicken, pork chops, and sausages around always fresh and packed with flavor. One of the things I love most is that they'll cut steaks, luncheon meat, and ham exactly to your liking. making sure you get just what you want. Their prices are a great value for the quality you're getting, and the selection is so much better than anywhere else I've shopped. Besides the incredible meat choices, Layden's also offers some grocery staples, homemade candy, sodas, and even smoked whole ham legs perfect for anyone who enjoys a little something extra. Every time I visit North Carolina, I make it a point to stop by Layden's and stock up on as much meat as I can fit in my freezer even if it means driving six to eight hours drive! It's always worth the trip and the money. And let me tell you, the chicken drumsticks are so big, I can only eat one at a time! If you're a fan of fresh, flavorful meats and love discovering specialty grocery items, Layden's Supermarket is absolutely the place to go. The place is so clean and the staff and employees are so friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much from us WV.
