Making Sweet Memories, Thanks to Visit NC Farms

For families in North Carolina, some of the most cherished memories are made not in theme parks or big cities, but in the heart of our state’s rich agricultural landscape. And much of that adventure begins with Visit NC Farms.

With each season, families can look forward to more discoveries, more memories, and more sweet moments made right on the farm!

Here, families can learn about some of the region’s most memorable seasonal experiences. It is through this guide that you can discover farms like Alpha and Omega Farm in Yadkinville, where autumn comes to life in a swirl of pumpkins, hayrides, and crisp fall air. 

For Easter, families enjoy helicopter Easter egg drops at places like Galloway Farms! Our guide can also lead families to hit the agritourism jackpot like Smith Hollow Farm in Kernersville, a delightful destination where Easter egg hunts, springtime crafts, and cuddly baby goats create the kind of joy that sticks around long after the day ends.

Smith Hollow Farm offers summer camps, fall festivities, Santa photos and venue space for special events.  It's a beautiful place full of lily pads on a huge pond that sits in the middle of a hayride loop that passes corn pits, veggie sling shots, and farm stores with baked goods inside! 

As we dive into summer, families can especially be excited about our you-pick listings—a treasure trove for those seeking fields of colorful flowers and baskets of juicy berries. A standout experience can be at Patterson Farm in Rowan County, a place where time seems to slow down while fun picks up speed. From kid-friendly attractions to a charming country store, Patterson Farm offers something for everyone— but the highlight is undoubtedly picking fresh strawberries and enjoying homemade ice-cream under the warm Carolina sun.

What makes Visit NC Farms truly special is its ability to connect visitors not just to fresh, local produce, but to the farmers and small businesses who make up the backbone of North Carolina’s agricultural communities. It’s more than a directory—it’s a gateway to hands-on experiences, shared laughter, and meaningful connections.
