Seasonal Farm Favorites

"If it ain't in season, we ain't got it." Our North Carolina produce is picked at its peak to ensure your family tastes mouthwatering fruits and vegetables the way they were meant to taste. Other places give top priority to shelf life. Not us. At Porter Farms our motto is "ripe here, ripe now".

Check out our Crop Calendar and compare the varieties we offer with your local grocery store or other produce stands. You'll love the natural difference in freshness and taste.

Strawberries

Strawberry Picking from mid-April to early-June at either of our two NC strawberry farm locations or let us do the picking and buy from our stands. Sweet, red, and ripe!
