We came after a rain and towards the end of the season, so I'd recommend making a point to go when it's dry because it made the stems rotten and fall apart. He mentioned that they open October first, but pumpkins start ripening early September so it'd be good to go earlier! Apple maps said the address was on the left but the turn in was on the right where their sign is.

There is a dry bar offering mock-tails that you can purchase as you journey through the garden. Pricing is very reasonable and the staff very knowledgeable and friendly.

The small seating area overlooks a pond - creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere while taking in your delicious drinks and/or food. Definitely worth a visit and will definitely make my way back!

The friendly/knowledgeable worker walked us in the lamb pen - clearly explained the rules then gave us some food and the friendly lambs came over for lots of snuggles. When done with the snuggles we could go explore. First we went to the clean restroom to wash, then headed over to the other side of the pond to pet the goats. There were also bunnies,chickens a donkey and a mule. You can buy local beer, wine and drinks, walk through the gift shop and pick and eat berries. They also have live music- check the website.

The farm also has sheep, chickens, bunnies, donkey, mule, gift shop, seating areas, air conditioned restrooms, handwashing stations, and a pond. We had a lovely experience at Old Mill Farm recently. It was a much needed peaceful retreat and return to nature. We could have spent all weekend just relaxing on the deck watching the animals and snacking on fresh blackberries. We arrived a little late for our lamb snuggle session, however, the employee who greeted us was so understanding and welcoming. She introduced us to the lambs, clearly stated the rules, and answered all of our farm questions. After feeding and petting the adorable sheep for 45 minutes, we explored the rest of the farm. We washed our hands, walked around the pond, pet the goats, perused the gift shop, and visited the chickens, sheep, donkey, mule, bunnies, and vineyards. The fresh blackberries in the vineyard were large, refreshing, and delicious. At that point we were soaked in sweat and decided to wash our hands and head out. We did play all four "carnival" games before leaving. Local: we appreciate their emphasis on supporting other local businesses in what they offer at the bar and in the gift shop. Food/drink: Bar stocked with local beer, mead, wine, cider, and non-alcoholic options. No restaurant on site but they sometimes have a food truck. Customer service: I forgot her name, but the farmer leading our group was incredible. She was so welcoming, patient, and passionate about the farm animals. Parking: large, labelled dirt parking lot near the donkey and mule enclosure. Reservations: needed on specific days/times/events. The website lists when reservations are needed. Price: check the website for free visit days/times. Some events do have a cost. Lamb snuggling was $10/person (for 5 people) and included food for the lambs and a self-guided tour of the farm. It was definitely worth the price.

Actually turned around and went back, thinking fresh picked strawberries would be icing on the cake so to speak. Well, drove down to the little red building and was disappointed to see only cash or checks taken. Should have known that, being a country plot open only during peak berry season. Digging in all pockets I had a few bucks on hand and thought well I'll just ask them to weigh out whatever I could pay for. Not only did I get to pick right-out-of-the-ground berries I got more than plenty and a nice surprise to boot! Please.Go out and support this local farm. You'll be glad you did. You pick or they pick until the sweetness lasts, but hurry the field will be closing soon!

I would go every day if I could. The farm is off of Pulleytown Road, easily accessible from Louisburg Road/401. I started coming here before Mother's Day and I filled my bucket easily. The middle of the week and just when they open is the best time to go. It gets pretty busy on the weekend and there is no shade. I give it 4 stars as they only take check or cash. Since this is the first u-pick farm I've been to in NC, I do not know if it is the norm. If I find out that it is, I will adjust my rating. Overall, great place to go for fresh strawberries in Wake Forest!

Great strawberries, easy payment system, friendly staff! We love coming back every year.read more
