Took the kids here today. We had a blast! It's a long walk down to the blackberry and blueberry fields. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. Blackberries were plentiful and big and yummy. My toddler was constant shoveling them in her mouth. None in the bucket, right to her mouth lol. Blueberries were a bit over grown with weeds. There were a lot of bees in the bushes. I ended up getting g stung trying to grab a berry and accidentally grabbing the one with a bee on it. Be careful! It can get very crowded on the weekends. We ended up buying a sugar baby watermelon that I'm eager to dive my teeth into!! We hope to come back later this summer for tomatoes and peaches!

Handwashing station

This was a fun little daytrip for Little Mister, now 3 years old. Employees wear masks and there is a handwashing station at the entrance. It is a lot bigger than I expected and there is at least one pond on the property which is teeming with pond life like turtles and dragonflies. I would have liked to see a map with picking areas clearly marked but we made do. I actually called them at one point while in the fields to find out where the blueberries were located but we found them as I had them on the phone. We picked peaches and blueberries. The peaches were on the smallish side but the flavor was excellent. The blueberries were sweet and delicious. I liked that the employees were conscientious about wearing masks and gloves. Other customers wore masks as well though it seemed safe to remove them in the fields since there weren't people nearby. It was easy to physically distance. Overall, a fun daytrip that helps break up the monotony of staying home and you can get some delicious fruits while supporting a local farm. Kudos, Lyon Farms!

juicy plum

Who doesn't like picking their own fruit and purchasing fresh veggies and homemade jam? I've been to pick strawberries and peaches. I just learned they have plums!? Great for the whole family! There's a pond w seats in the shade if you want to enjoy the ambience of nature and watch ducks swim. They accept card/contactless pay. Dirt paths so be mindful if you're not sturdy on your feet.

Overall we had a great social distancing trip over to Lyon Farms. It was nice to leave the house! We went right when they opened and it wasn't too busy, but started to get busier as we were leaving. We originally went for peach picking. The peach orchard is in the back and the furthest u-pick from the parking lot. It was hot and of course it's super sunny at the farm, so it was not an enjoyable walk with a toddler. The peach trees were interesting. There were a ton of fallen peaches so it was bee and bug city, I had a hard time finding great ones on the tree to pick. We decided to switch gears and go blackberry picking. The blackberry bushes were beautiful and definitely a more enjoyable picking experience. In the end we ended up buying pre picked items!! I'd say bring your own basket so you don't have to buy one there. I thought they were cash only, but they do accept cards! They have a ton of produce for sale-- vegetables along with fruit. I ended up leaving with asparagus, tomatoes, blackberries, blueberries, peaches, and an avocado. They also have this delicious strawberry cider slushy on the weekends. It was super refreshing and the perfect treat to head home with.

I actually had never been peach picking. I didn't realize how hard it is! I definitely had more fun picking blackberries since they were easier to tell whether or not they were ready to be picked! I went right at lunch time so it was super hot If you go Monday-Saturday, I'd say definitely go earlier when it's a bit cooler! You can bring your own containers/baskets but if you forget them, you can purchase them on site! Additionally, face coverings are mandatory and they only allow 1 group per lane! Social distancing is highly encouraged. If you're like me and don't carry cash, they do take cards!

Even the kids can help out!

Loads of strawberries for the pickin. Way more fun to pick your own and less expensive. They charge $1.75 per pound and $1. If you use their carrier. Not a bad deal. There were so many ripe juicy strawberries. We froze some for smoothies. Blackberries will be ready in 2 weeks, sadly no blueberries due to frost that ruined their plants. They also have veggies and other fruit to purchase.

It's pepper, Tomato & Peach season (August) and they were stunning. We sampled the peaches- fabulous! We sampled the Honey Crisp apple cider- wow!

Those areas seem to be fly and pest riddle. That said, we ordered from a rotating menu. Which was one of the reasons that that Restaurant was chosen. You could order both breakfast and lunch entrées. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese biscuit which was advertised for $6.99. My final charge including gratuity was $15.47 Apparently everything was à la cart, which was never explained to me. I took at face value that what was printed on the menu would be the charge.. while I am quite familiar with a gratuity charge which I had no problem with. I am not used to a gratuity chart being added to what would be à la carte. I will never go there again. The biscuit was hard, huge and hard.. I only ate half of it and brought the other half home along with one of the biscuits that was initially brought out to the table. I'm not sure what other African-American experiences have been, but I can spend my money other places for a sad is prior to end during the pandemic. I would often meet clients and form a coworkers there for breakfast. Enjoy every bit of it. Maybe it's changed Management not sure the only thing I am sure about is that I won't go again..

There were so many stands, including: produce, bread, juices, seafood, lamb, knife sharpening, honey, candles, pottery, flowers, and a ton more. I ate Pastels de Yuca at a stand called Soul Cocina. It was roasted yuca stuffed with lentils, brown rice, and spinach. It came with a very flavorful red salsa. I loved it. The yucav was tender and the filling was delicious. I loved the salsa because it was refreshing with a slight kick of spice. I also enjoyed sitting under a tree at the park while watching the Bee Day Parade. That's definitely my tip because there's not a lot is seating to eat at the market. So go across the street to Durham Central Park for plenty of shaded seating.

Quintessential Saturday morning activity for Durham folks!

Today for the 1st time we went to the Raleigh Farmers Market and was absolutely shocked at their offerings. All the vendors are eager to serve and please so, we loaded up on fruits and vegetables.

Visited recently late on a Sunday ( maybe an hour before they closed) Great location with plenty of parking. Besides fresh produce, it also has fresh fish, a seafood restaurant, and a few other specialty shops. Open 7 days a week, I would go all the time if I lived in the area. But like most farmer's markets, "most" prices are no cheaper than your local grocery store, but the selecatiosn here are great. Espeially now in the Fall with tiomns of pumpkins & gourds, Saw stands with huige selections of plants & shrubs for home gardens & landscaping. Bought some fresh NC corn & honey. One stand had a HUGE selection of almost every pepper I ever heard off. Cant wait to go back. ( no pets!)

Cute farmers market in the heart of North Hills on Saturdays (check online and with their vendors…read morefor their official schedule) from 10-12 with some really nice local vendors including Mama's Salsa- my favorite!!! This time I bought a jar of her avocado-lime but need to come back for her Chipotle! There was fresh seafood and meats, jams and other jarred foods, clothing and scarves, fresh produce, salsa and chips and MORE. I am so happy I discovered this gem and can't wait to come back for more salsa and to support some more local vendors in the future. Shop local! Pro tip: if you buy a jar of salsa (or 3), don't hesitate to get a bag of her fresh homemade tortilla chips, too. They're the perfect pair and honestly, chips from the grocery store aren't nearly as good.. I wish she sold them in bulk!

My husband and son wandered around the other side of North Hills since no one was there and I went to grab our Farmers Market items. Almost everyone had a mask on and it was a quick and safe way to continue to support local farms at this time. I walked away with great peaches, lettuce, tomatoes, flowers, cucumbers, zucchini, and a breakfast sandwich from their visiting food truck! The flowers that I scored from Blackdog Hops were beautiful AND lasted two weeks. A lot of times cut wildflowers don't hold up, but their flowers did. I also loved all the organic produce I bought from Nourishing Acre Farm, oh and of course Michael's English Muffins is a continued favorite. Can't wait to head back over soon!
