Strawberries --

The 2010 Season Is Over.

Thank you for being a part of another successful strawberry season. We hope that you enjoyed your visit to our farm. Please plan to come again in 2011. Strawberry Season in North Carolina is traditionally in the month of May. Sign up for our email notices and we will let you know when the picking begins on our farm.

Our 100% Grass-fed Beef is still available by appointment.

Watch for announcements of more fruits and vegetables this summer.

If you ever wondered how to plant strawberries on this scale, this is how it is done.

After the soil is prepared and the black plastic beds are made, we use a tractor and water-wheel planter to get the job done. Trays of strawberry plugs are stacked on the planter and off we go.

Plan to join us in late-April or May 2010 to meet our team and enjoy some farm fresh strawberries. Watch this page for updates, or sign up for an email notice of our field opening.

As the planter passes over the plastic beds, the wheel punches holes in the plastic and puts a little water in each of the holes.

An able-bodied helper is poised to hand-plant a plug in each hole. With two people walking behind, each plant finds a home and each hole finds a plant.

Speaking of able-bodied helpers ...

Our helpers are one of our greatest assets on the farm. We were lucky to find this special crew and wouldn't trade them for the world!
