I've been here several times, most recently for flowers and fresh bread. Prices vary but are about mid-range. It's a good place for local produce and gifts.

This farm stand is located right off Ten Ten road near Lake Wheeler Road. It is easy to access and offers ample parking in their gravel lot. I've visited numerous times and am always greeted. The employees are friendly and helpful. The fresh produce is hit or miss, but I usually leave with what I need. Most recently I stopped here for zucchini and before that peaches and blackberries. The produce is fresh and of good quality. Prices and names are labeled and the produce is organized. They accept cash and card. They are pricier than grocery stores and other farm stands, but worth it for the quality and convenience. Overall, I have had good experiences here and recommend this farm stand to others!

The cute store is worth a peruse to look at cook books, plants, and other perfect giftables! And save some time to look at the farm animals. There's a herd of friendly alpacas, a coop of chickens (and a free roaming rooster) and even some goats. The animals are so cute and friendly! I will say the parking lots get kind of full, but there's definitely a good amount of spots. You might just need to be a little patient.

When I was a kid I hated vegetables and fruit! To me, a vegetable was a pickle or corn and fruit…read morewas an apple or grapes. I remember when I was around 10 or 11 my mother took a stand and put a slice of tomato on my breakfast plate. She told me I could not go out and play with my friends until I ate that slice of tomato. Being as stubborn as Mom, I sat there at the kitchen table from 8 a.m. until the afternoon crying and refusing to eat that one miserable slice of tomato. Finally, my mother gave me a smack and threw me out of the house! That's how much I hated vegetables. Once I became an adult, I realized how nutritious and delicious they were and how important it was to eat vegetables and fruit to be healthy, and I grew to love them. One day, around 6 years ago, I saw online an advertisement for an organization and business that supports local farmers and locally grown fruits and vegetables called The Produce Box and I decided to give it a shot. It was one of the best discoveries I made food wise and I am still a devoted customer till this day. The concept is quite simple. Once a week you receive a text and email offering you the opportunity to purchase their pre-selected box or you can put together a box of your own. Most of the time I enjoy picking out my own produce. For example, this week I received 5 ears of corn, mushrooms, pineapple, cantaloupe, zucchini, tomatoes, kiwi, bananas, potatoes and oranges, grapefruit and onions. Total cost was $33 and it is delivered to my home. My delivery day is Wednesday. I always look forward for the box to arrive filled with all of my delicious choices. The produce is always plentiful and top quality. Rarely do I receive anything bruised or not tasty. Everything is just perfect and it comes in a sturdy box to keep stuff fresh until I get home. Sometimes I throw in an ice pack to keep it cool. I never compared prices to the grocery store, and I'm sure I am paying a little more for these fruits and vegetables. Flip side is they are either organic or locally grown. I love getting quality produce and I love the idea of supporting local farmers. Considering how healthy I have been since I have started receiving weekly produce from the produce box, I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am with this arrangement. Having recently lost my dear brother, I am more conscious than ever to stay healthy. The Produce Box keeps me on track and has become a staple in my diet. I also like their flexibility. They can deliver weekly if you so choose, or you can let them know you are going to be out of town or don't need a delivery and they will simply skip that week and return the following week based on your request. There are also lots of other possible purchases like local breads, prepared dinners, etc. that I have yet to try. I know I eat and drink lots of horrible chemicals in my sugar-free and low fat foods and diet Coke. Hopefully I am offsetting the damage done a bit by my weekly consumption of fresh and delicious produce from The Produce Box. My mom would be in shock but happy to see that this morning I sliced a beautiful tomato for my breakfast. I've come a long way!

Honestly, I had no idea to expect, but I found a clear address online and headed over. The store itself is a rickety old building--like many that you see in the country surrounding the Triangle. To the side, there was a mini fresh farm sale with all sorts of delicious foods--peaches, blueberries, eggplant, okra, tomatoes, peppers. It was a nice selection and obviously very fresh. I picked up a red pepper, a purple eggplant, and 3 peaches. When the girl rang me up and it came to only $3 I was a bit shocked. I wish I lived closer so I could come here all the time. The girl working there was super helpful and the quality looked good. It's open from 9-6 every day of the week. She said that in the building (that part is more clearly labeled) a woman does antique shows about once a month.

This is truly the best farm for meat in the whole Triangle area. Farmer Dan's daughters, as well as one of the farm-worker's daughters, run the shop and they are so perky, professional, and helpful! They offered us free samples of some hot brisket with cheesy grits (holy YUM) and about 8 different flavors of goat cheese (there's even a chocolate one that's perfect in smores). They sell pork, beef, chicken, lamb, fresh eggs, cheese, ice cream, pet milk (unpasteurized), freshly baked cookies ($1 each), Buck Naked Farm honey, soaps, jams, and Adam's Vineyard wine. The prices aren't the cheapest, but you are truly paying for quality meat that is a LOT healthier and tastier than the junk they sell in the grocery stores. Surprisingly, they sell duck eggs from "A Third of a Farm" in Fayetteville, NC (which are super rich and delicious) and a variety of goat cheeses from Celebrity Dairy. We ordered the Jalapeno Cheese and it's sooooo good (and spicy) -- I usually hate goat cheese for its game-y-ness, but this cheese is so smooth! Our favorite products: - Pulled Pork -- we love that you just boil it in the bag and then serve it. Sooooo good! - Ground Beef -- you can really taste the onions, spices, and other veggies that the animals have been grazing on! We love using this for our burger night. - Ribs -- enough said. We nibble them down to the very BONE! I can't remember where the ice cream is from (some local dairy farm), but we ended up buying the Strawberry Cheesecake. It was tasty, but sadly there was no REAL strawberries in it at all... The "strawberry" swirls were just red food dye, corn syrup, and some other random ingredients. It also didn't have any sort of cheesecake chunks in it at all... I really wish Ninja Cow Farm sold ice cream with REAL ingredients.

Loved the farm itself, and the tour, and the meats that we purchased, but the owners sprung a…read moresurprise on us that frankly ended the experience on a sour note and makes it unlikely that we would ever return. We found out about Ninja Farms through Groupon, and had purchased a promotion for a tour with a discount toward the purchase of their meats. When we made the purchase, we also emailed two of our friend/couples to see if they were also interested in going with us and making a fun event out of it. Each of the two couples purchased their own Groupons separately, and I scheduled the tour for the six of us together on the same date, making a note that we had three couples, each using Groupons, on the website form when I scheduled the tour. At the end of the tour, when we went to purchase our meats, the wife of the owner-pair informed us that since we all scheduled our tour for the same time, only one of us couples could use our Groupon that trip. What?? She said that this was "one per visit" as listed on the Groupon details. Nowhere in the small print is a "visit" defined as a tour. I understand if we had been one family trying to use multiple Groupon discounts in our "visit", but this was clearly not the case, which we tried to explain repeatedly to both owners. It was quite clear that we were three separate couples who wanted to take our tour all together, but were from three separate households and had purchased three separate Groupons. Moreover, we could have scheduled three separate tours since we had three independently purchased Groupons by three separate couples. One would think that they would have appreciated us saving their time by consolidating to one tour. Evidently if we had scheduled three back-to-back tours, eating up more of their time, each of us could use our own Groupon with no problem. Eventually the husband-owner relented to let one of the other couples use their Groupon- which still meant that one of the couples could not use the Groupon discount that they had purchased (I believe they ended up requesting a refund through Groupon). The unyielding unreasonableness of the owners, coupled with the lack of definition in their small print (felt like a "bait and switch"), makes me not trust them or want to do business with them again. Which is such a shame, because I really wanted to like and continue to support their operation.
