    Great farm with plenty of parking. There were so many neat fun ideas for the kids. The underground slide was fun. The rolling drainage pipes were ingenious and simple fun for kids. They had so much to do for the kids from wooden jungle gyms to tractor rides and kayaking and a huge jumping bounce pad. The disappointment was there weren't a ton of food trucks and the sangria came out of a can with blueberries added. The staff was super friendly and did a great job directing people.

    I'm surprised noone has already reviewed Vollmer Farm since it's a source of some of the best, organic strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries in the area. It's also a place where lots of families go for the pumpkin patch, 'back 40' playground, and birthday parties. About 40 min from Cary, this former tobacco farm has been converted to a local resource for organic fruits and produce. I believe they offer a CSA too- which would be great if you lived that far out. However, it's worth the trek several times a year if you are looking for great berries w/out tons of pesticides. Their success has been based in providing a fun experience for families, but I always go to get about 20 lbs of berries (depending on what is in season). For strawberries, the timing is usually mid-April through mid/end of May. Blueberries and blackberries are later in the year- June/July time frame. They have a ton of space and the way they rotate the 'you pick' rows ensures you have a constant source of great berries. I always go early to avoid the many small children who show up around mid-day, because I'm serious about picking some berries. The rows are really neat and clean because they use black plastic/cloth to cut down on weeds and it elevates the berries out of the soil so they are clean, clean, clean. For the you pick options, they place checkered flags on the rows they want you to pick and supply the buckets. Each year I go and pick 4-6 buckets of strawberries, 2-3 of blueberries, and as much as I can in blackberries. These go into my freezer for a great selection to use in pies, desserts, and smoothies all year (well- not quite- my husband goes through them pretty rapidly, so I usually don't make a full year). Nothing is better than fruit picked in season! Oh, they also have a farm store where you can pick up local products like eggs, etc, or some of their own produce. And, for a treat, there is an ice cream parlor w/ their own ice cream. Last time I visited with my small nieces, we brought a picnic lunch to eat at the large tables they have out front and had ice cream for our dessert.

    The big 'jumping thing' your kids will love. Most adults too...

    This review is for 'The Back Forty' portion of the farm. We took the kids out on a hot Saturday October afternoon, and boy did they have fun. The 5 year old declared, 'Best day ever!' Now granted, that's like the 4th time she's said that, but this is high praise. Her 3 year brother loved it too. To start with, huge fields to run run, and, run, and run. And then running from one fun thing to the next. They liked: + the huge jumping 'thing' - think of a half submerged balloon, that you can go crazy on + the corn maze - more running + the zip-line - it's a little car they have attached to a cable that parents can launch to a point, and then watch them come back + the giant slide - you sit on a sack and ride down a covered tube + the slingshots - launch tennis balls at various targets + the corn pit - a huge covered pit filled with corn kernels + the ice cream + the chicken nuggets (baby chickens), goats, pig, donkey, rabbits, sheep, farm dog + the huge tractor ride down from the parking area and back It's not cheap. Adults and kids are like $13 each. But it's totally worth the price. Our bonus fun was a huge rain soaker of a storm and a run to the covered area for ice cream.

    Perfect for a day trip, small enough to be manageable with a toddler but still enough to keep older children interested.

    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.

    Pace Family Farms is the best! We are so fortunate to have this family farm in the area. 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!

    Pace Family Farms is a good sized farm. The sunflowers drew me to this property. They have…read moredesignated days to view the sunflowers. 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.
