i love watching the reality show about the roloff family farm and was wondering if there are any family farms in raleigh where you can pick pumpkins on halloween,pick strawberries,hay ride,etc...
Vollmer Farms in Bunn (great strawberries in Spring/Summer and Pumpkin Picking in Fall) and Hill Ridge Farms in Youngville.
Make sure you call first! My wife and I drove out to Vollmer Farms two weeks ago. Their website says they are open during the summer but when we got out there to the farm they had a big sign saying "CLOSED UNTIL FALL" . While we were bummed, we did enjoy the ride and the scenery. We will check it out this fall when the are open.
I just saw something in the paper today briefly about a public farm tour where you can tour all the active farms in the area. I'll see if I can locate it.

The tour is this weekend, the 22nd and 23rd. There is a PDF file on the webpage I listed above to the Eastern Triang;e Farm tour with directions, details about the farms, it costs $30.00 on site to tour all the farms or $25.00 per car pre purchase. There are a bunch of organic farms and you can purchase eggs, dairy, fruits, vegetables and meats on site, so they recommend bringing a cooler.
Sounds fun!
