Homemade strawberry ice cream and school field trips round it out. Open Monday through Saturday, 8am to 6pm.

Washington

Williamston

Griffin's A-Maze-ing Corn Maze ran a seven-acre fall corn maze on Fire Department Road outside Williamston, in Martin County. One year's design cut the Maltese cross firefighter's badge into the field, and the maze took about an hour to walk. Multiple sources report the attraction closed permanently around 2024, with its website and Facebook page taken down. It is not currently operating.

Pinetown

A u-pick vegetable and flower farm on Free Union Road in Pinetown, in Beaufort County near Washington. The rows run to beans, cabbage, collards, sweet corn, greens, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, with cut flowers in season. It keeps a long calendar, open Monday through Saturday from mid-April to Christmas Eve. This is a produce-first operation, not an entertainment farm, so come for the picking.

Williamston

A farmstead bed-and-breakfast on Big Mill Road near Williamston, family-owned since 1920 in eastern North Carolina's Inner Banks. Five rooms and suites have private entrances and lake views, and the grounds add a vintage Airstream and two RV sites set in an orchard above the water. Guests can cook their own meals, and pecan trees planted more than a century ago still shade the yard. Long stays skip lodging tax.

Greenville

Strawberry season kicks off in April at Briley's on Rams Horn Road east of Greenville, where the same third-generation family farm runs a produce stand seven days a week from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Depending on the week you can pick beans, cabbage, corn, squash, peppers, tomatoes, and more. It sits on Highway 264 East, about 10 miles from Washington. Details at brileysfarmmarketnc.com.

Bath

Edwards Blueberry Farm runs honor-system, pick-your-own blueberries at $1.25 a pound about a mile west of Bath on Highway 92, in Beaufort County. It's open seven days a week in season, and the farm also sells at the Bath Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. For pre-picked orders, text 253-702-9786. Bath is North Carolina's oldest town, an easy pairing with a picking trip.

Jamesville

Pick-your-own blueberries on Wendell Modlin Road in Jamesville, in Martin County near the Roanoke River in eastern North Carolina. Listings note farm experiences and on-farm pickup through the summer berry season, which here runs from around June into July. Not much else is posted online.

Robersonville

A pick-your-own farm around Robersonville in Martin County, where visitors pick strawberries in spring and blueberries in early summer, with on-farm pickup available.

Eastern North Carolina's mild springs give this stretch of farmland an early strawberry start.

Greenville

Come fall, Briley's opens a corn maze and pumpkin patch outside Greenville, adding hayrides, games, farm animals, and a haunted field after dark.

The farm posts dates and hours on brileysfarmmarketnc.com and Facebook, or call 252-754-5029.

Belhaven

Watson's grows strawberries and garden vegetables outside Belhaven, a Pungo River town in Beaufort County.
