Heading to a Sunday lunch, taking the backroads, and drove past Hunt's Strawberry Farm on Watkins…read moreRd in northeast Wake county. 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!

Last year, it was late in the 2024 strawberry season, and I stopped to pick some berries. 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.

The Market sells pumpkins in season; produce; jams and locally made products. Then the Market cafe has ice cream and sandwiches and coffee.

But it seems to have turned into more of a boutique shop for other small local sellers. I enjoyed it being more of a local thrift & find than a boutique set up for other shops. I'm local so it's nice to have a family owned gem spot where I'm not traveling 20 minutes to go somewhere for good coffee and a small spot to find something cute for the house! I'll always go back for the coffee :) Went for the blueberry festival last year and that was cool! Definitely more of a kid/family friendly event but we enjoyed the live music and the food that was available, they also had sellers set up at tables for local home made goods which was neat!

I went here with my wife, sister-in-law, niece and nephew the weekend after Christmas. The staff…read moreat all the different activity locations were friendly and accommodating. I had a good conversation with Gary at the carousel. I felt $17 for all persons 2-64 years old was more on the expensive side if you have multiple kids but there were plenty of things for the kids to do. The kids said they enjoyed seeing the lights on the train and wagon rides and seeing their smiles is priceless. I definitely recommend checking the weather an hour or two before heading out so you're adequately prepared. Today it was mid to upper 60's in the afternoon but dropped to the low 40's tonight with 10mph winds. It was quite chilly and fortunately I had brought my coat, gloves, and hand warmers. Because of the weather two hours was plenty of time but next time I would prepare to stay 3-4 hours and truly get my money's worth!

Definitely will be back this season! They had other plants, jams and jellies and so much more.

My husband…read moreand I are big fans of their weekly specials and are excited for their CSA to launch again next spring. We're also excited for strawberry picking since we haven't been yet! In the fall, they sell decorations such as mums, pumpkins, hay bales, and corn stalks. They accept them back as donations at the end of the season and put it to good use as fertilizer, erosion control, or treats for the cows and pigs, which we love because of its sustainability and reusability. In the winter, they host an annual Christmas Craft fair, which had a ton of amazing local vendors and was such a fun time. The Pace family is incredibly friendly and you get such a good amount of produce for the price. We always leave feeling like we got a great deal! Go pay them a visit!

This season, they had three sunflower days so make sure to check their website. Sunflowers could be cut for $1 a stem if you bring your own scissors. Besides the sunflowers, they have a produce stand with watermelons; cantaloupe; peppers; corn; tomatoes; squash and potatoes. The produce stand has different hours each day so that it more people can shop as we all have different schedules. The staff is friendly and helpful. Remember to bring your own bags or boxes to hold your produce.

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!
