Farmers Market and Hay Ride

All Abord the Hay Wagon

In case you have never heard about it I just wanted to point out to everyone that now is the time to start planning for a visit to the Grandy Farm Market at 6264 Caratoke Hwy in Grandy NC 27939.  Currently they are open on weekdays from about 8:00 AM until about 5:30 PM and on weekends from about 8:00 AM until about 7:30 PM which gives everyone plenty of time to stop in for a visit.  You can purchase fruit and vegetables, fresh orange or apple juice, various baked goods and even home made candy.  I always enjoy getting a gallon or two of their own apple cider.

At the Pumpkin Patch

Making a Scarecrow

 With Halloween approaching they have a large selection of pumpkins to choose from as well, but to really get into the fall or Halloween mood the Grandy Farm Market is the place to go for a hay ride to the pumpkin patch.  Starting around the 1^st of October and usually running through the weekend before Halloween you can ride the hay wagon to their pumpkin patch where you can select from hundreds of different pumpkins.  When you return to the market on the wagon you can have some fun stuffing a scarecrow as well.  The ride including a pumpkin from the patch usually runs about $5.50 to $6.50 and is fun for all.  They also have programs for school or church groups so be sure to give them a call at 252-453-2658 for all the details.
