Blueberries at Southwest Strawberry Farm In Jacksonville North Carolina




You've been to the beach, you've been to the mall, you've been to the movies: Now it's time to come to Southwest Strawberry Farm! Our blueberries have just arrived and they are just waiting to be picked. We also have fresh-picked blueberries every morning, if picking isn't quite your thing.

We never use pesticides! We believe in growing healthful pesticide free produce for our community members.

And in addition to blueberries, we have watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, jalapenos, sweet white corn, and banana peppers! If you need it, we have it :)

Our hours of operation are Monday - Saturday 9-5pm.
We are located in southwest Jacksonville, NC at 2053 Pony Farm Road right off of Highway 53 - Just minutes from the new Walmart.
