There were baskets out, but we decided to pick our own strawberries. We are back in Cary and couldn't wait to come back. It's only a 30 mile drive. I love seeing the country. The tomatoes, zucchini and squash were well worth the trip. They also sell beef and lamb. We will be back again before we continue with our travels. Their hours change for the different seasons, so I would call or check their website.

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

Also they serve coffees and lattes. There is some picnic tables around to enjoy coffee and icecream with a beautiful view of the farm.

Follow them on Facebook to keep up with what's available and hours of operation. Once you arrive, you can get an empty basket or bucket from under the shelter and head off to pick your peaches or berries and return to the shelter with your harvest where they will weigh it and ring up your purchases. Today was opening day for the 2017 season, the peach trees and blueberry bushes were loaded. The peach I ate when I got home was awesome. Also be sure to check out Jasper at "Jasper's Fresh Squeezed Lemonade" here at Buttermilk Creek, Jasper sets up his lemonade stand here and offers some cold beverages which was a refreshing treat after pickin' peaches in the summer heat. Jasper has his own Facebook page also for his stand so be sure to check him out.

If you ever have the opportunity to attend an event here--don't turn it down!…read more When I was first invited to a wedding here in June, and saw how rustic it was in photos and outdoors, I had grave concerns, but in the end no one got hurt and everyone made it back safely to civilization. The reception area is indoors and a fine place for a party of any type. They serve drinks with Lavender from their farm. They will give you packets of Lavender--it's a real Lavender Farm I will forever have great memories of attending a wedding here. Such a unique place. Some important details you may want to know: 1. Give yourself a minimum of 30 minutes from Chapel Hill to get here--45 minutes during the business week. Slow speed roads, lots of turns, dirt the last section, drive slow. 2. The last 1/2 mile is all dirt gravel--some thick. I had an SUV 4-wheel drive truck rental coincidentally--no problem at all. If I had my personal sports car--PAIN! I may not have gone down the road... If you are flying in for an event here--do yourself a favor and rent a PU Truck or SUV, not a passenger car. If you live here--borrow someones truck--you will thank me. 3. The entire parking lot is gravel--drop everyone off on the reception pavement and one person parks and does the long walk on gravel to the reception--wear appropriate shoes to walk on gravel. I cleaned my shoes for 30 minutes the next day. They have golf carts--if you are concerned about your shoes--ask for golf cart pickup from the parking lot. 4. Men's and women's bathrooms are tiny for a party more than 100 people--get in there when everyone else is not. 5. The outdoor wedding ceremony in June brought tears to my eyes...and sweat to my body--dress appropriately. 6. Spend as much time as you can on the patio outside--it's so pleasant there overlooking the Lavender fields I could sit there every night with a drink. I don't have a review of the food because the food is different for everyone based on budget and who you hire for food provision. I posted some photos of the place, but on the request of the family will not post photos of any attendees, or the wedding couple due to their national celebrity status. I had the opportunity to chat a bit with the owner of Lavender Oaks Farms who is one of the most successful and dynamic entrepreneurs you will meet. Interestingly, she was originally from the Los Angeles area of California but very happy to make a home in North Carolina more than 30 years ago.

Actually turned around and went back, thinking fresh picked strawberries would be icing on the cake so to speak. Well, drove down to the little red building and was disappointed to see only cash or checks taken. Should have known that, being a country plot open only during peak berry season. Digging in all pockets I had a few bucks on hand and thought well I'll just ask them to weigh out whatever I could pay for. Not only did I get to pick right-out-of-the-ground berries I got more than plenty and a nice surprise to boot! Please.Go out and support this local farm. You'll be glad you did. You pick or they pick until the sweetness lasts, but hurry the field will be closing soon!

When I…read morelooked for my cash...I realized that I did not have as much as I thought and I could not cover the full expense for the berries. I said I would go home and return with the money (which would take about 45 minutes). The owner told me to just pay what I could and post a nice message on FB to let people know they were still open for business. The family that runs this place is amazing and the berries are always delicious. I brought my children here to pick berries when they were younger and the people could not have been nicer and more welcoming. I can't wait to get back there this year! They have berries already picked, if you don't want to pick your own.
