ON THE FARMS IN GASTON COUNTY, NC
VISIT THE FARMS IN GASTON COUNTY ALL YEAR LONG
In spring, step into a strawberry patch and pick ripe, juicy berries. Come summertime, look for vine-ripened tomatoes, homemade salsa, squash and blueberries. Fall is a fun season as pumpkins turn bright orange and farmers gather the last produce before frost. For an extra treat, find a farm that offers hayrides and corn mazes. Schoolchildren, Scouts and other groups delight in a day spent learning outdoors. In the winter you can select your tree for the holidays.
GASTON COUNTY FARMERS MARKET
