We keep a list, year-round, of farms where you can pick your own produce, and that list is below. You might also be interested in this list of farmers markets in the Triangle. Before you head out, make sure to call and check on conditions. Hours can change depending on the weather and how the crop is doing. Not every farm is ready at the same time. In fact, no matter what you see about hours on other lists…still call. We're not listing hours because they can vary so much. Click through to the websites or Facebook pages. Facebook is often a better way to get the most current information than the websites. This list covers the whole growing season, so you'll find information on everything from strawberries in the spring to summer peaches to apples in the fall. We only included farms that have websites or Facebook pages, so that it will be easy to verify the information. Typical growing seasons in North Carolina: Strawberry: Late April to the beginning of June Blueberry: Late May to mid-July Blackberry: Mid June through July Peach: June through September Apple: through February Timing might vary. These are estimates. Here's a chart from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture that shows approximate growing seasons for many fruits and vegetables.
