HILLSBOROUGH

Cedar Grove

Cedar Grove Blueberry Farm grows four acres of no-spray, dry-farmed blueberries in rural northern Orange County, open for u-pick and on-farm sales. The owners lean into low-input methods and treat the farm as a teaching spot for other growers as much as a place to pick. It sits next to Botanist and Barrel, a family cidery and winery that uses fruit from the farm. Season runs through mid-summer.

Morrisville

Phillips Strawberries runs a spring strawberry operation on Good Hope Church Road in Morrisville, on the western edge of the Research Triangle between Cary and the airport. North Carolina berries usually ripen from late April into June, when growers open their rows to pickers. Picking conditions shift day to day during the short season.

Apex

Jean's Berry Patch is a seasonal u-pick berry stand on NC Highway 751 in Apex, in fast-growing western Wake County. Strawberries lead the spring season, the peak window for the Triangle's pick-your-own farms. Picking days depend on the weather and the crop, so hours are worth confirming before a visit.

Mebane

Mebane

Berry farm on Hawk Hill Road in Mebane, on the Alamance-Orange county line in the central Piedmont. The produce tag points to pick-your-own berries, typically strawberries in spring and other fruit into summer. Details are thin online, so confirm picking days and hours with the farm first.

Efland

Fickle Creek Farm is a small, diversified farm in the North Carolina Piedmont producing pasture-raised meats, hen eggs, and sustainably grown vegetables — with rotational grazing, livestock guardian dogs, nutrient cycling, and native plantings on display for visitors. Find them at the Chapel Hill, Durham, and Morrisville farmers markets, on-farm Fridays and Saturdays (with picnic tables and tractor trikes), or through the meat and egg CSA with local delivery.
