"Small neighborhood Mexican grocery store"…read more This unassuming little place has a great assortment of Mexican goodies: fresh meats, vegetables, and various packaged goods. We like it for various Mexican goodies like churros, fresh tortillas (they have a big machine that makes them on site), plantains (at any stage of ripeness- far more than regular grocery stores), peppers, spices, popsicles, tamarind candies, various canned items, etc. LOTS of phone cards, too. Personally, I have never gotten the meats, and that section of the store sometimes smells a little funny, but the rest is great. They have a big Exxon sign and some gas pumps outside, but it's all nonfunctional- there's an "operational" Exxon station two doors down across the street. Staff are quite friendly, too. A-OK overall.

All the fruits and veggies and spices and canned food reasonably priced . The meat market has great buys in fresh chicken and Mexican cuts of beef n pork. Even MOLé sauces and every hot sauce from Mexico ! Will try tamales frozen. Fun to shop ... buen Diá.

I'm not sure if it's considered the off-season right now, but when we went, unfortunately, there…read morewas no picking to be had. So there's not really too much to do other than sit on some rocking chairs & eat some ice cream (which we did enjoy doing.) I didn't even realize that there was a trail out there until after we had already left and I'm seeing other people's reviews so they may need to put up signs for that in the store area. I feel like the inside is really just ice cream, coffee, and a small little nursery area. Not sure if the drive out there was really worth it for the 15 to 20 minutes we spent out there. The banana ice cream was really awesome though and all of the employees there were very helpful and nice. Definitely a place that you go to when there's an actual event unfortunately we just missed the fall wreath making event Seems like people bring their kids out there to run around the outdoor area. Not sure if the prices of the ice cream or the plants was necessarily great, but it's a smaller owned business I'm sure so it tracks

Great farm with short trail and unique wood troll figurines…read more They have a small garden shop. The staff was friendly and quick to service. They make homemade icecream and sorbet year round. Also they serve coffees and lattes. There is some picnic tables around to enjoy coffee and icecream with a beautiful view of the farm. I tried the coffee leche icecream and the strawberry and green apple cider sorbet. There all great flavors.

I love the Durham Co-op and not gonna lie, I'm so glad its survived all these years. Yes, the…read moreprices are a smidge high and yes they don't have everything you need, but still, it's always a wonderful stop to grab some essentials, and things you never know you needed. Like a fox candle! Ha! I love seeing how they have new vegetables and produce every now and then. Back in the day before the pandemic (and maybe they still have this?), they'd have nights where there was a select menu and you could have a weeknight meal for an affordable price. Kind of like Cafeteria food. They gave you coins to pay for it, and the turn out was always so robust. It was a really nice way to get the community together and also try dishes that you probably hadn't had in a while, or even ever. I remember those events, being the talk of the town. My friends would mark on their calendars that it was a "no-cook night" and to meet them there. Fun times. I've been meaning to sign up for their owners program, that is on my to-do list. By donating a certain amount to the co-op, you become a founding member and help support the co-op. It's a sweet way to be involved and invest in the Durham community. I also love the parking situation at the co-op, you are never fighting for a place to park, and the parking spots are not razor thin. At the front of the store, there is a grassy area with picnic benches, and I find it so inviting. People are having lunch dates there, sharing snacks, and just enjoying the weather. I will say though, the co-op is one of those places that I have to remember to go to. Now that I'm writing out all that I love about it, I will continue to keep it on my mind.

Great neighborhood resource for groceries, bulk items, charcuterie, wine, and self-care items…read more They've got a deli (goods made fresh and also offered for heat-and-eat) and a small butcher counter. All the staff are friendly and helpful, and you won't take your life into your hands if your park in their lot. Think Whole Foods, only smaller and with fewer super high-end items.

Wonderful produce and meat. Very friendly employees and great customer service…read more Great variety of fresh canned products such as beets and chow chow.

The place is old and a little run down looking. It has limited options because of the size. That's…read morewhere the bad news stops. The meat department is so much better than any chain grocery store. You're going to get better quality meat where the meat texture is right. They have spices, vegetables and other commodities. The staff is very friendly. There are a few tight spots. So you will have to navigate around the local morons that can't seem to see you're waiting to get through.

I love this farm! The owners and staff are the nicest people. My husband and I found this place by…read moreaccident last June on our way to visit friends in Cary. There were baskets out, but we decided to pick our own strawberries. We are back in Cary and couldn't wait to come back. It's only a 30 mile drive. I love seeing the country. The tomatoes, zucchini and squash were well worth the trip. They also sell beef and lamb. We will be back again before we continue with our travels. Their hours change for the different seasons, so I would call or check their website.

Quintessential Saturday morning activity for Durham folks! Big Durham Farmers' Market fan; love to…read moregrab coffee & a pastry and just stroll around, looking at the art, smelling candles, trying on handmade jewelry. My favorite stall to grab a pastry at is definitely Loaf Bakery. Service is always so nice; the Central Park ambiance (usually with live music) is perfect.

Cute Farmers' Market, right in Downtown Durham! There are several different vendors, selling…read moreeverything from cheese, to vegetables and fruits, to meats, to flowers, to bread!!! They also sell wine, baked goods, pastas, honey, salsas and guacamole, chocolate, kombucha, eggs and dairy, kimchi, and jams. The main market is open from 8-12 pm on Saturdays (and seasonally on Wednesdays), go early to avoid some of the lines! The 2 bread stalls will ALWAYS have a long line (go to their store fronts to avoid the lines). There are some small material items you can buy as well (cups, clothes, jewelry, art, soap, baskets), but the majority of this market is food. My favorite stops to make would be Celebrity Dairy for their goat cheese spreads (AMAZING on crackers, get the "Party Mix"!!!!!), and Melina's ravioli (delicious homemade ravioli and pasta sauces). Note #1: Separate parking lot for customers! (Market is ON the Foster Street, which will be closed during the market.) Note #2: NO DOGS allowed!!! TIP: BRING A BAG!!!! NO bags with any purchases, so bring your own!! (Or buy one there.)

You pay per bucket so it's a flat rate - unlike some other places I've been where you pay by weight. With 3 of us picking it probably took about an hour. The blueberries were delicious! We enjoyed eating blueberries for many days and also used them in muffins and smoothies.
