Truly a jewel of a place out in the country! Ice cream shop is in an approx 100 yr old house complete w/ artifacts used in the 1800's and a sitting porch for relaxing w/ a delicious ice cream. Afterwards, there's a petting area of goats, pigs & horses in a country setting that's much the same it was originally in the early 1900's or earlier. It's like walking thru a very large farm area. Also there were outdoor picnic tables enough for a small gathering on the edge of a pond. Simply an old-fashioned country life experience not usually found in today's modern world. Thank You Gillis Farm for being as you are!See more..

4.0Aw Shucks Farms(41 reviews) - Great family outting! Farms
We went to aw shucks last night primarily to try out the cornfield maze. We did it at night and it was so fun! Aw shucks had a lot of other activities as well such as petting zoo, horse shoes, pumpkin bowling, fishing, corn hole, and the haunted trail (although it is not for the faint of heart so I skipped it). It is reasonably priced and just a great way to disconnect from all the hustle and bustle of technology and just enjoy a little bit of country living. It's great for all ages and there's plenty of options for food, so don't eat beforehand.See more..

5.0Waller Family Farm(15 reviews) - Strawberry Picking - North Carolina Farms
Friends took us to this farm to pick strawberries. We enjoyed the time spent at the farm picking the strawberries. Small plastic baskets were supplied to fill with the strawberries that have been picked. At the end of the day you bring your strawberries to the make shift shed to be weighed and pay. It costs USD1.50 / lb. There were also some other vegetables, flowers and fruits available for sale. We were guided to 2 dedicated rows to pick our strawberries. Little flags were placed as markers to indicate our designated picking area.See more..
The farm was a quick stop to entertain my younger kids while my daughter attended orientation at UNC. Wasn't sure if its open all the time or not so we took our chance and drove in. Turned out we lucked out as the owner showed us the new mining area and we were the first to check out. It was loads of fun and the kids found fossils using a sluice. There was a mine shaft being built but wasn't yet open when we were there but looked fun. The animals were too cute and loved the pygmy goats and the nutty sheep called "Number 7". High Recommend!See more..

My wife put in the winning bid in a fundraising event. We both have passed Summerfield Farms many times to find a very active Farm. We saw weddings going on from the road, read about activities in the local Northwest Observer newspaper and even visited their grocery store on the advice of a dear friend. Our expectations about spending a Friday afternoon and Saturday at one of their cabins turned out to be more than we could ever imagine. The accommodations were both rustic and modern and very comfortable. We would encourage anyone visiting Summerfield, NC to check it out and anyone close by to make a weekend of it!See more..

We actually went on the next to last day that blueberry picking was available for the season. There were still plenty of berries to pick. We ended up with 7 pounds of yummy berries. There is a cooling station in the middle of the farm if it is an unbearably hot day. We happened to be there in the pouring rain. That made it even more fun. We were soaked through and through. The blueberries were sweet and plump. Fun day!See more..

5.0Porter Farms & Nursery(4 reviews) - We love the strawberry and blackberry pickin' Farms
We LOVE Porter Farms! This address is incorrect! Willow Springs is the site of the main location and the satilite farm is on Ten-Ten road. We've visited both numerous times. This year we enjoyed strawberry picking at both locations. We recently picked blackberries at the main farm. I've never seen such big blackberries in my life! They have two varieties they grow and they're fantastic. The same day we picked blackberries, we got the very last strawberries of the season (they were going to plow those plants in the next day). The berries were all super small, but bright red and the sweetest I've ever tasted! We love to buy their tomatoes and blackberry jam. A great spot for fresh produce!See more..
This place was very reasonably priced for what was there. Lots of things going on, including farm animals to view, model animals and farm equipment to climb on, slides and climbing frames made from retired farm paraphernalia, bee hive exhibit, tractor trailer ride and of course the pumpkin patch. You could also pay a couple of bucks extra to shoot a giant potato gun at a school bus. A lovely way to spend a fall day. Something for all the family. See more..

Cost of U-pick strawberries are $18 per four-quart container and $6 per quart-sized container, we provide clean containers. Pre-picked strawberries are occasionally available for $20 per four-quart container and $6 per quart-sized container. Sometimes we have pre-picked strawberries available, but not always.

4.0Farmer Ganyard Upchurch Farm(1 review) - Fun way to spend a day Spent 2-3 hours Farms Visiting a pumpkin farm in autumn is a great way to celebrate the changing seasons. We went to Farmer Ganyard Upchurch Farm with two children under 9. They both had a blast, and it was enjoyable for the adults, too. The kids got to bounce on an inflatable, jump in a pit full of corn kernels, climb a haystack mountain and tunnel through tubes. For smaller children, there is a hay maze. There were barnyard animals like bunnies, goats, and donkeys. We took a hayride to a corn maze and then to a large pumpkin patch where everyone got to pick their own pumpkin. There was also a small cotton field where you could pick cotton. The attractions would appeal to children from toddler through elementary school age. Picnic tables are available, and there is a small farm store with items for purchase.See more..
