It's pepper, Tomato & Peach season (August) and they were stunning. We sampled the peaches- fabulous! We sampled the Honey Crisp apple cider- wow! And enjoyed Orange -ade with fresh squeezed oranges- amazing. My only regret is not being able to purchase any fruits/veg! We are only visiting , leaving tomorrow a.m. so no means to take home & cook. Maybe next time. Definitely a must see/do!

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.

There's something about these nearly out of the way garden markets. Not really a true farmers…read moremarket and not a true garden market, King's Cottage Garden is more of an expanded roadside stand. This one has its own entertainment. The first thing that caught my eye as I drove in, but for which i was not quick enough with the camera to capture a picture, was the goat walking across the fenced yard, followed by a pig, and with a goose trailing behind. All seemed to be walking, trotting, or waddling toward the fence and the peacocks who were leisurely pecking their way toward the nearby trees. It was little surreal. It's a colorful place, between the tomatoes of all kinds and colors, the okra, potatoes, pumpkins and the huge mums of varying colors blanketing the yard around the vegetable stand. With the mini-farmyard, there's something to keep the kids entertained while the adults chat with the friendly owners and choose the perfect veggies.

Me and my friend always drive by and see the animals. I love pigs and the baby pigs are soooo cute!…read moreThey have a fence though so you can't hold them and I'm definitely too afraid to ask since the pigs are their personal pets.

Also during October they have the prettiest pumpkins and they're huge and not a bad price at all!

I'd seen "Thomas' Olde Store" on some of the News & Observer's FourSquare lists, so, I naturally…read morehad to check this place out when I was in Fuquay-Varina. Honestly, I had no idea to expect, but I found a clear address online and headed over. The store itself is a rickety old building--like many that you see in the country surrounding the Triangle. To the side, there was a mini fresh farm sale with all sorts of delicious foods--peaches, blueberries, eggplant, okra, tomatoes, peppers. It was a nice selection and obviously very fresh. I picked up a red pepper, a purple eggplant, and 3 peaches. When the girl rang me up and it came to only $3 I was a bit shocked. I wish I lived closer so I could come here all the time. The girl working there was super helpful and the quality looked good. It's open from 9-6 every day of the week. She said that in the building (that part is more clearly labeled) a woman does antique shows about once a month.

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 found that an elderberry vendor was here (and said they were each week) along with a micro greens farmer made this very helpful and a realistic alternative to the raleigh farmers market for those of us on this side of the triangle.

I really recommend this as an addition to the normal shopping as it seems to be a reliable place to get food for the house.

This could be because of the small size of The Depot, not allowing for many, or I may have been there on a slow day, so they didn't utilize all the space available. The goal is to have vendors within 150 miles of Apex. All the vendors were close together, so you don't need to walk far to see what is available. Benches were also available. They have activities for kids as well. If I am in Downtown Apex on another Saturday, I will return again.

As a…read morelocal farmer myself from Duplin County, seeing multi-generational farmers revitalize a family farm in such a way isn't just encouraging, it's genuinely inspiring. The grounds are fantastic, with multiple food vendors on site, including some of the best empanadas I've ever had, and a gift shop that knocked out most of my Christmas shopping in advance with super unique and local gifts. The highlight of the day, though, was the alpacas, chickens, and goats. Holl & Stone supply free hay and free corn so you can feed them yourself. Thank you to Burton and Dustin for creating such a wonderful community gathering place. We'll definitely be back!

Holl & Stone was a cute spot! It has an outdoor boutique, a bar, rotating food trucks (Tacos &…read moreHotdogs when I went), and of course, the animals! They have chickens, goats, and alpacas which were definitely cute to see and feed. It was pretty busy when I visited, and the crowd was mostly families with younger kids. I can definitely see this being a great spot to bring the kids and even becoming a weekly hangout for locals. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely stop by again and I'll have to try the ice cream since I didn't grab one this visit!
