Pace Family Farms - Clayton NC

We have been going to this amazing family owned farm for a long time now! Probably pretty close to 10 years now? We love all their delicious fresh produce and we do their CSA Box every year! So excited to cook up all this beautiful produce this week's haul 😍

My daughter showed up within the posted hours of the strawberry picking- two hours prior to its end time and she was with her infant. As she approached the entrance, she couldn’t hear what the man said. When she asked he what he said he rudely barked at her that “when I say it’s closed, it’s closed”. Kindness if free - a simple “thank you for coming out to support us but I do apologize we have to close early” would have been much more appropriate and understood.

The farm is well kept and the staff can be friendly. A woman discouraged me from filling their larger bucket with my child on my back. I assume this is because there are a lot of people who come out not knowing the demands of farming, but not everyone has a lack in farming experience. I didnt feel like arguing, but I filled 2 of her smaller buckets just fine which would have been the largest bucket anyway. The Strawberries taste very strongly of the chemical used. I would warn parents not to allow children to enjoy the berries until they have been properly washed.

Loved visiting here! My boys loved getting to pick our own flowers! And the produce is fresh, farm to table! You can visit tuesday through Saturday!!

Oh how we love this farm! From the friendliness you experience to the variety of produce throughout the year, it’s the best! We just picked strawberries for the first time and they are delicious. Love supporting a local family and their business.
