Buckwheat Farm

2700 Holland Rd, Apex, NC 27502

Buckwheat Farm is a family run affair.  “In February 1996, our family of five moved from a Cary neighborhood to the country.  We knew we needed to find a way for the property to pay for itself.  That’s when Karma decided it might be fun to grow strawberries.  She had great childhood memories of her family picking strawberries by the trunk full in southern Illinois, where she grew up. She wondered if they could grow strawberries here at their farm and help make great memories for other families.  We attended our first Strawberry Expo in November 1996.  There was certainly a lot to learn and a lot of equipment needed that we didn’t have.  We also learned it takes lots and lots of water for growing and also frost protecting strawberries.  We got busy again.  We dug an irrigation pond and put in under ground water lines.  With absolutely no farming experience, we placed our first plants in the ground in October 1997 and harvested our first crop of strawberries in April 1998.  We have been growing ever since.”

Buckwheat Fam is open from mid-April to early June for strawberry picking and late June to the end of July for blueberry picking.

July brings sweet and sour cherries as well as our certified organic raspberries, blackberries and blueberries.

Love Apple Farm

1421 State Route 9H, Ghent, NY 12075

Love Apple Farm first opened its gates in 1969, and has been an integral part of the farming community in the Hudson Valley ever since. At Love Apple, they are proud advocates of the social project to offer locally and honestly sourced fruit and vegetables to the local community, believing everyone has the right to know where their food comes from. The farm was established by a struggling actor and a model, who chose to purchase the farm in order to develop a rural oasis in which to escape life pressures, enjoy physical activities and pursue careers in literary in peace. And why the name Love Apple? Well, as you probably know, love apples are in fact another name for tomatoes, not apples at all!

There are a variety of stories as to why tomatoes got this rather lovely nickname. Our favorite is that its simply because of their heart – shape, which gave cause to the French to name it the pomme d’amour (Love Apple) as they believed it had aphrodisiac qualities. Regardless of all this, Love Apple Farm was given its name simply because the owners liked it! Interestingly, whilst juggling the demanding physical work load on the farm, the owner did indeed manage to write and publish his book. The farm has since changed hands, but the strong community values it has always prioritized has remained strong and true well into its 50 + years! Spanning 80 acres, Love Apple Farm is open all year around and is a popular destination for locals and visitors to enjoy fruit picking, a break from tech created stresses and some true rural living.

In addition to apples they also grow blackberries, blueberries, cherries, gooseberries, peaches, plums as well as raspberries & strawberries.  As well as the fruit picking, at Love Apple Farm you can also enjoy the playground, petting farm, cafe, market and gift shop!
