Strawberry season starts Wednesday, April 24, 2024! We're excited to see you at the strawberry patch soon.
Regular strawberry season hours:
Monday through Friday, 8 am to 7 pm, and
Saturdays from 8 am to 5 pm; all depending on weather conditions and berry availability.
Lookout for our daily updates via Instagram, Facebook, our answering machine at (919)732-7701, and on the signs by our farm. We'll send out email updates periodically.
Prices: Pick-Your-Own strawberries are $18 per 4-quart basket (that we provide), with a $1 discount per basket if you bring back our baskets the next time you pick. We-Pick strawberries are $7 per quart, and we expect these pre-picked berries won't be consistently available.
Season Length: Our strawberry season usually lasts until at least early June with berries continuing to ripen throughout that time, weather allowing.
What's In Season: Our spring vegetables and other farm items are coming in as well, including beautiful lettuce, other spring vegetables, pecans, local honey, local eggs, cut flower bouquets, Katahdin lamb, and Angus beef.
We have our seasonal fruits, vegetables, meats, flowers, and other local goods available throughout the year.
We're also at the Carrboro Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings with full season hours now, from 7 AM until Noon.

What We Grow
About Us
With a rich tradition of farming, the fourth and fifth generations to work the land are still going strong in Efland, North Carolina. It’s always a collective effort from everyone here to keep the land, plants, and animals well-cared for, healthy, and beautiful.
Howard Jr. stays busy with the strawberries, vegetables, orchard, and flowers; preparing the land and tending to these crops. His wife Karen, previously an agricultural extension agent for Orange County, now works on the farm with the beef cattle, her sheep, and whatever else needs to be done. Daughters Callie and Elizabeth both help out on the farm when they are around, continuing the tradition of farming that is over 135 years strong. The farm also relies on an incredible team of talented individuals, each of whom work to plant, care for, harvest, and sell the crops we grow. Our way of farming would not be possible without everyone’s efforts to keep it going.
We raise a wide range of seasonal vegetable and fruit crops that are sold at the farm stand and at the Carrboro Farmers' Market year-round. We also raise Angus cattle and Katahdin sheep. Check out the pictures of what we grow to see more!
