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.

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.

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.

Durham

Perkins Orchard is the largest and oldest produce market in Durham, North Carolina — 56 seasons and counting — selling thousands of pounds of produce a week from over 300 mostly North Carolina farms plus the family's original fruit orchard. Open seven days a week, it's a one-stop shop for local eggs, cheese, meats, honey, greens, flowers, fruits, vegetables, pumpkins, and Christmas trees, with seating areas to unwind.

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.

Sanford

Call 919-258-3606 before heading out to check the field.

Carthage

Apex

Sanford

Douglas' Strawberry Patch is a family-run u-pick near Sanford selling strawberries, produce, and roasted corn, the same roasted corn they take to the NC State Fair each fall. Picking and pre-picked berries both work here in spring. The farm sits in Lee County off Highway 87. It keeps a Facebook page for posting when the berries are ready, which is the best way to catch opening day.

Carthage

Pick-your-own strawberries, sweet corn, and a broad vegetable list — beans, cabbage, potatoes, squash, and tomatoes — from a barn stand on Bryant Road in Carthage, the Moore County seat. The mix means a long picking season, from spring strawberries through summer corn and fall vegetables. Sandhills soil and sun make this good produce ground. No phone or site is posted, so stop by during season to see what's on the tables.
