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.

I've been going to this u-pick farm since they opened for strawberry season. Just so you…read moreunderstand, I LOVE strawberries and the fresher the better. The strawberries here fit the bill. I would go every day if I could. The farm is off of Pulleytown Road, easily accessible from Louisburg Road/401. I started coming here before Mother's Day and I filled my bucket easily. The middle of the week and just when they open is the best time to go. It gets pretty busy on the weekend and there is no shade. I give it 4 stars as they only take check or cash. Since this is the first u-pick farm I've been to in NC, I do not know if it is the norm. If I find out that it is, I will adjust my rating. Overall, great place to go for fresh strawberries in Wake Forest!

I'll always go back for the coffee :) Went for the blueberry festival last year and that was cool!

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!

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.

The people that own the property were so kind and gracious. There is an option to just buy strawberries that are already picked but I think they're a little more expensive than just getting them yourself. Honestly, it's not that hard to pick because the plants are just saturated with berries. They're way cheaper to pick than to purchase from the store and 173648 times more delicious. There is nothing better than sun ripened fruit and this place does not disappoint. Just a little outside of Raleigh and the drive is just as beautiful as the experience on the farm.
