Fowler Farms Fresh Produce
669 Wright Road, Tabor City
910-653-5795
Looking for the spring's freshest harvest? Look no further then Fowler Farms Fresh Produce. They currently have new potatoes, cabbage, collards, turnips, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, hot peppers, and carrots. Tomatoes, corn, and string beans will be ready within the next two weeks!
Fowler Farms is a family owned and operated farm in Tabor City. The Fowler family has been actively farming this land since 1896. They were formerly a tobacco producer but have transitioned into small grains, soy beans and corn, and the production of fresh, quality produce. They offer a variety of seasonal vegetables year round.
Fowler Farms encourages their customers to be involved in the harvest of the vegetables they will be purchasing by allowing them to pick their own products at the peak of freshness. They are also glad to provide customers with produce that has been gathered for them. Private tours are available upon request.
Open Monday-Saturday, 8:00am to 6:00pm
