Just moved to the area and found this produce stand, and it is my favorite thing I’ve found yet. The $25 bag you can fill up is amazing. They also have things like soup mixes, pickles, meat from farmers, candy, and flavored maple syrup in one of the buildings. The owner was really nice and it was awesome to hear his story! You can tell he really cares about people and his community.

We are planning a raw food week this coming week and Donovan’s post popped up in my social media feed. We drove from Lexington, NC to Durham to get two of his famous $25 bags of fresh produce. Donovan happened to be on the grounds and gave us a tour and the history of the business which was fascinating. There was such a large variety and the customer service was first rate. We will certainly be back.

I recently visited the Perkins Orchard and was greatly impressed. The vegetable and fruit produce was exceptional, much better than what can be found now in many local grocery stores in the area. The variety of meats available was a good mixture of items. The list of additional items for sale blew my mind; jellies, jams, spices, rubs, soup mixes, cider, etc. The site also has beautiful fall flowers for sale along with an large supply of pumpkins. All of this food from local farms. It was amazing!
Finally, the staff onsite are some of the nicest, professional, and most helpful people I've ever met. If you ask, they will give you a tour of the small complex that includes a short history talk about the beginnings of the Orchard mart. The location is peaceful and well-maintained. Going there feels like one is transported to a farm even though this location is in the city. It was so very nice to just sit and talk in the bustling, yet relaxing setting.
I highly recommend the Perkins Orchard for all the reasons previously stated. Thank you so much to the Perkins team for providing such an excellent experience. I truly had a wonderful time and can't wait to make another visit and use this location as a regular source for healthy good-tasting foods. -
First time visiting this past Saturday and I was very impressed. I am from Michigan and wish we could be as fortunate to have something similar. This gem offers delicious fruits and vegetables all in a bag for $25 plus we were there on the 2 freebies day. The apple cider was delicious and every item we purchased was fresh. Bryan who assisted us was so extremely kind and helped brighten my day for sure. Thank you so very much! Some of these folks do not seem to appreciate this place but this Michigander will be back on my next visit to Durham. Sending love from the north.
