From Our Farms to Your Fork
Agritourism may be a new term for travelers, but Johnston County has celebrated our farming heritage for over 70 years beginning with the Annual Benson Mule Days Festival. This history asserts itself anew in the growing number of chef-owned restaurants in the county serving up fresh and local ingredients in delightful dishes.
Dig In! Afterwards, be sure to visit the farmers who grew the food you just ate... like a true foodie. Smith's Nursery offers on-the-farm experiences for most of the year.
Where to find these local restaurants and farmers:
Smith's Nursery and Strawberry Farm
Smith's is open year-round and the pick-your-own seasons for strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, bring families and visitors for fresh produce and fruits, also enjoy hayrides, a millet maze, bounce hours, special events for Mother's Day and Fall Harvest, and try a little fishing in the pond.
