Featured Farms
Page Farms
Raleigh, NC
https://pagefarmsraleigh.com/
Page Farms is a fourth generation family farm working together on the land they grew up on in Raleigh, NC. Page Farms strives to keep their heritage alive by bringing fresh fruits and vegetables to their community. This hundred acre farm has seen a lot of change since 1922 when it was purchased.
Many different crops have been grown in their fields over the past 100 years. From ripening strawberries in the Spring time to pumpkins in the Fall, Page Farms is there year round making sure only the best crops are grown just for you. For many years they were proud tobacco farmers right here in North Carolina. When the tobacco buy-out came about, they decided to make the change over to a new cash crop: corn and strawberries.
Page Farms is still a proud family and would like to share the experience of a real working farm with you and your family.
