If there’s one thing that makes the holidays in Fuquay-Varina feel extra magical, it’s the way our local farms open their gates and invite families to slow down, soak in the season. Creating the kind of memories that feel straight out of a Hallmark movie, and this year Broken Plow Farms is bringing the Holiday cheer to all those near!
Located on Cotton Road, Broken Plow is a true family farm, one that’s been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 70 years. As Fuquay continues to grow, the family wanted to share the beauty and simplicity they’ve always known: open fields, tractor paths, twinkling lights, and the kind of down-to-earth fun that reminds us what the holidays are all about.
Today, Broken Plow Farms welcomes the community year-round with fresh produce, jarred goods, seasonal events, a haunted trail, Easter celebrations, vendor fairs, and more. Everything they sell is either grown on the farm or locally sourced from right here in North Carolina, keeping things as fresh and hometown-happy as it gets.
