We welcome you to our 3 acre estate & my life’s work! Try our popular $25 bag deal + Free item! Perkins Orchard was founded in 1970 by the Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Perkins. It started out as a simple roadside stand with Tomatoes & Cucumbers, before long Dr. Perkins was planting trees around the House in which Perkins Orchard Rest. 200 plus fruit trees covered the 3 acre property. Plum Trees, Apples, Pea

rs, Cherry Trees, Pecan, Blue berry bushes, Peach trees, & Grape vines along with the annual garden. As time past connections were made with farmers across the state of North Carolina & to this day we rely mostly on these connections that deliver such produce. Our company is based on the Belief & Trust of the honor system. There is a Drop Box through the door in which customers can drop there money or change after they have completed there purchase. Perkins Orchard is beneath 50 feet of shaded trees which provides a beautiful atmosphere when surrounded by Fresh Fruits & Vegetables. Our entire team is committed to providing a wonderful outdoor atmosphere, As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals.

The last several days I've been dealing with a serious lower spine injury that has progressively gotten worse. As many of you know, Perkins Orchard isn't just a business to me—it's my life. I'm used to being out there every single day unloading trucks, stocking produce, lifting, building displays, helping customers, and doing whatever it takes to keep the market looking its best.
Right now, the pain has reached a point where I'm physically unable to perform many of the tasks that are needed to bring this market to life the way I believe it should be. It's been incredibly frustrating because my heart wants to keep going, but my body simply isn't cooperating.
As I work with medical professionals and try to find answers and relief, our operating hours may be different than normal from time to time. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated, and we'll continue serving our community as best we can during this difficult period.

Thank you all for sticking with us. It means more than you know.
