The Thursday market is year round at the armory sports complex. This Saturday, the weather was perfect for a stroll through downtown Southern Pines. We parked nearby and walked to the market. The Saturday open market is dog friendly. Vendors vary. It's a good size, not overwhelming, but provides ample products. There was live music and a variety of local items for sale. I purchased turnips, tomatoes, and loose-leaf tea. Each of the vendors we interacted with were friendly and sold their products at reasonable prices.

I went here on a recommendation from my fiance's co-worker. He raved about their tomato pies. I…read morehave never even heard of a tomato pie but felt like it was something I should try out. When I walked into the store I was instantly in love. It has a nice cozy warm feeling and they had a different assortment of produce. I decided to buy the Greek tomato pie and a lemon custard pie for my mom. Simply put, my mom raved about how good the lemon custard pie was and how it was the BEST lemon pie she had ever eaten. I am sad that I didn't try a bite on my own. The Greek Tomato pie is something that must be made by the Greek gods themselves. It was absolutely amazing. The tomatoes were nice and juicy and the spinach and spice ratio was perfect, it didn't overpower the tomatoes. I highly recommend this place to anyone near Carthage. I know that every time I come visit my mom I will be making a pit stop and stocking up on their items.

I feel so lucky to live so close to this farmers' market. It's open 7 days a week, but the…read moreweekends are definitely more "open" than the rest of the week - with ALL the stalls open. There are lots of produce choices, several plant stalls, a couple of meat vendors, several florists, and then some truly great food vendors. There is also a whole indoor area with lots of great vendors, some food options, and coffee. It's absolutely ginormous! It's a must visit when in Raleigh!

This was a MUST STOP on our trip to Raleigh. Easy to find and plenty of parking…read more We went on a Tuesday afternoon so there were a good deal of booths not open. However, there was a ton of live plants and truckloads of fresh vegetables for sale. Couple that with gourmet cheeses and baked and canned goods and you have a situation you could spend a lot of money on. As a snack, we bought a jalapeño cheese roll which was very good. You could definitely do some wallet damage here. I'd like to see this place on a weekend. My one criticism are the produce prices. $3.99/lb for slicing tomatoes and $12 for a watermelon. Other produce is equally expensive. This is rather boujee pricing and it's obvious they aren't targeting the average consumer. I love supporting local farmers but prices like this make it difficult. Come and check it out for yourself. It really is a sight to see and you could spend a whole morning or afternoon here. But guard your wallet. It would be easy to get carried away here.

Wow, this is definitely a hidden gem, and i am not sure that i want to share it with you all…read more This is a family owned business that grows their own strawberries. Every year we go there, even though it'll take over an hour to drive to, it is well worth the strawberries. These are all pick your own and are non GMO based. They aren't sprayed with pesticides and are able to be eaten off the vine. They had some of the largest strawberries I've ever seen (outside of the genetically modified ones you may get from the stores). They have tons of rows of strawberries to pick from, and there is rarely a chance to find any rows that are completely empty. They sell them at $3/pound, which in my eyes, is great, especially for the quality of these strawberries. This year was a little different, as they were also growing cabbage, lettuce and rhubarb. *though you couldn't pick your own, it was available inside their little cozy store* They had a great selection of hanging flowers as well and we picked one up to hang outside of our house. If you like ice cream, they have locally sourced ice cream that was amazing. my kids love eating it every time. Overall, this is definitely the best place to do 'pick your own' strawberries, and definitely worth the drive.

Their ice cream is always delicious. On this trip, since it was strawberry season, I chose strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries and a scoop of homemade strawberry ice cream. It was outstanding and the service was good! The five stars is for its ice cream... The Berry Patch has about any produce item that you can think of. They have it... but in my opinion, it is overpriced! Today, they had seeded watermelons from Florida for $17.99, Athena cantaloupes that looked past prime for 4.99, and local strawberries for $8.00 a quart.

I have enjoyed seeing the transformation of a gas and bait store into a tremendously varied wine, beer, food, exotic tonic waters, and yes, gas and bait store :-) Now, during the growing season, you can get fresh, locally sourced produce! My absolute favorite is heirloom tomatoes. I almost hate to say that because the good ones are so hard to find! Trust me, add some basil, good balsamic vinegar, and virgin olive oil and you will think you're in heaven. So, I guess Crazy Lady's is not quite as crazy as you might think:) Between the two, you have an unbeatable combination. Cheers, y'all, Dr. Ray

Perilla (Perilla frutescens) is an aromatic herb from the mint family, known by many names like shiso, beefsteak plant, and Chinese basil, and is popular in Asian cuisine for its distinct flavor. It's an annual plant with colorful, serrated leaves that can be green, purple, or bicolored, used fresh in salads, soups, and with fish, or for its seeds and oil. While edible and used in cooking, some varieties are considered invasive in North America and can be toxic to livestock.
