Olde Carthage Farm

Olde Carthage Farm We are a small family owned and run organic farm currently offering strawberries, blueberries, black We are a small family owned and family run organic farm.

We currently have strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, Muscadine grapes, tomatoes, and flowers. We use no pesticides, no herbicides and if there's a w**d, we have to bend over and pull it by hand. We do things the hard way...the right way. For example:
-We've planted a beneficial pollinator habitat consisting of 12 species of native North Carolina wildflowers surrounding all our crops;
-We dep

end on beneficial insects to help fight off pests. This summer we released 4200 ladybugs to help fight off spider mites;
-We have provided nesting habitat for brown bats and purple martins, which help control insect populations on our farm;
-Instead of treated posts for our grape vine arbor, we’ve used untreated Black Locust post from Western North Carolina;
-No 10-10-10 or other synthetic fertilizers on our farm. Instead we use OMRI approved natural fertilizers such as fish emulsion;
-In an effort to be a sustainable farm, we are raising Sorgum-Sudan grass to make our own organic compost.

Opening day for the 2024 Mucadine grape season at Olde Carthage Farm Wednesday August 28th. We will be open from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Our weekly schedule will be Tuesday- Saturday from 9:00-4:00.

We have 5 varieties of certified organic grapes ready to pick this season.

Nesbitt is a large purple / black muscadone with tangy sweet flavor. A ripe Nesbitt muscadine will be dull and dark. Pick the ones who have lost their shine for the highest sugar content!

Summit, a large bronze muscadine with very sweet flavor. A ripe Summit is almost pink. They are delicious.

Triumph, a large golden colored muscadine with the highest sugar content on the farm. Many customers prefer the texture of the triumph with what NC State describes as a “crunchy” pulp.

Supreme, the giant of the muscadine. Color and flavor are similar to Nesbitt but the size is much larger.

Noble, a medium red muscadine is great for juices and jellies. Also delicious as a snack just not as large as its neighbors at Olde Carthage Farm.

See you in the field.

Grape season coming soon. We are only a few weeks away from the beginning of our muscadine grape season. We have 6 varieties of certified organic muscadine grapes. We expect to be ready for picking around the last week in August. More information as the season gets closer. See you in the field.
