We have enjoyed going to firefly farm a few times now during this last year, both for Halloween and…read morefor picking wildflowers! Positives-lots of land! Their huge swing is amazing and a highlight for kids! The staff is also very kind. We have visited their haunted house (eclectic, great for younger kids) and for their flowers in the spring and both have been empty (which in my mind is good). You can easily picnic and have all the space you want to yourselves Negatives-there isn't a lot going on. If you prefer places with a lot of activities this is not the place for you

Firefly Farms is a small farm in Hillsborough, NC. They primarily sell produce but do have some…read moreflowers that you can pick by appointment when the farm is open. When you arrive at the farm, follow the gravel driveway back to the barn as that is where the designated parking is at. Then if you are picking flowers, you check in and are provided a grocery store type basket and a pair of scissors. The basket was great as it was light and had two handles. It was also nice that scissors were provided as I've been forgetful in the past and left them at home before. Or if you had ordered produce you can pick that up under the tent. The website is really easy to navigate and make your purchase. The driveway that you drove up, provides a lovely walk back down to where the flowers are at. There were some animals along the way too! There are signs up in the areas that you are allowed to pick flowers. When you finished finding flowers in the various areas, you walk back up to the barn and the flowers are wrapped and put into a mason jar vase. Also tips are given for caring for the flowers. I really enjoyed my outing to the farm and the reservation system made it so easy to social distance as there were not too many of us there at once. The staff was beyond friendly and made me feel welcomed.

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.

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.)
