A short drive from the mall, the open-air produce market Perkins Orchard has been open for more than 50 years and features a killer daily deal: as much produce as you can fit in a bag for $25, plus a bonus item like jam or a pineapple.

This is such an impressive place! 30 year old Donovan Perkins is a true example of the entrepreneurial spirit. His passion for farming, community, and business shows with how he has taken the reigns of this small family business and grown it. The pumpkin selection was good for the size of this business so all 8 kids we brought were happy with their choices! We are also excited to try the additional produce and jam we choose to go with our $99 wagon deal! I love finding spots like this and hearing the stories of how they started. Bravo to Donovan! Cute, relaxed, charming…highly recommend!

Amazing place, found this on the internet. Lived in the area 30 years never knew this was here. If you see the ad please make a stop over. Everything is very nice and fresh. I bought the 25 dollar bag and had it full over the top and got a free dozen eggs. The owner greets you and tells his story when available. I’ll go for all fruits and veggies and you should too. Wonderful find

I’d come across the Orchard through an IG reel and I had to check it out for myself. I live in East Raleigh and RARELY travel to Durham but I’m so glad that I did! We met the owner and he gave us the full history of the farm stand and showed us around. This place is clean, organized, and such a great deal for a beautiful variety of produce. The fill a bag for $25 is a sweet deal. I got everything I need for a fantastic Mexican inspired meal. Get yourself to Perkins Orchard and get yourself a bag full of goodness!

Black owned local business and local produce. Out of butter beans and peas but beautiful green beans. I got a full bag for $25 plus they always have a free item. It weighed 8.5 lbs This time there were five choices! I chose a dozen free range eggs.

I'm about eat some of this good food. Thanks for being.

I’ve been to Perkins Orchard a few times now and continue to be amazing by the mission, community-like feel, and overall energy of it. This unique business is unlike any other - and the “fill a $25 bag” perk really meets the hype. Stop in, you won’t be disappointed you did. I can’t wait to go back!
