HOURS: PICK YOUR OWN CLOSED FOR 2011: FIGS SOON AND PERSIMMONS THIS FALL
About Us
Dr. Young's Pond Berry Farm has been selling pick-your-own berries since the late eighties. We have a small but expanding planting of red raspberries which usually come in from mid-May until mid-June. Our blackberries typically come in from early June to the end of July. Our blueberries come in from mid-June into August.
We are a family business, but our name is not Young. Dr. Young owned the property many years ago, and we kept his name because the people of Angier know the pond, our landmark, by this name. We are the Trustmans. Betty is the voice on our answering machine and the face behind the sales counter. Stan is the head farmer who does the main work in the field and plans the care of the plants.
David and Jonathan are the tall, handsome, young ones who help pickers learn which berries are the sweetest and where to best find them in the field.
At Dr. Young's Pond Berry Farm, we try to provide the public with a top quality product and an enjoyable picking experience. We accept cash and checks, but, sorry, no credit or debit cards.

CROP UPDATES 7/24/2011
BLUEBERRIES
The blueberries have finally succumbed to the heat and we are finished picking for the 2011 season. They did their best but couldn't hold on any longer. It was a especially good year for blueberries.
BLACKBERRIES
The blackberries have finished for the season. They were amazing this year, but couldn't continue especially in the heat. It was a spectacular year for blackberries.
RASPBERRIES
We have tasted a few of our new raspberries. They are a beautiful red and very tasty.The plants are also very healthy. We are optimistic that these varieties will give a pickable crop next year.
