Porter Farms Strawberry Farm

Porter Farms and Nursery is a family farm on Ten-Ten Road in southern Wake County. Everything sold here is grown on the farm’s own ground and picked fresh each morning, which is about as short a trip from field to table as you will find.

The seasons set the schedule, and families tend to come back for the same visits year after year. It is a working farm first, so the experience is simple enough: you show up, you pick, and you go home with something good.

• U-pick strawberries are the spring draw at the farm.
