Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy produce?

We are currently selling produce at three locations: 1) Western Wake Farmers Market in Morrisville, Saturdays from 8 to 12 2) Duke Farmers Market in Durham, Thursdays from 11-2 3) At the farm (717 Wimberly Rd Apex), Thursdays from 4-7 We may be adding addition options and locations for our spring/summer season so sign up for our email to be alerted when things change.
Can I come visit/volunteer at the farm?

Unfortunately, no. Our insurance and infrastructure are not set up to have visitors. We are not currently accepting volunteers. Our bathroom facilities are limited, and we're just not set up to handle that type of activity. Right now, there are several farms in the area that offer volunteer opportunities.

What do you use for pesticides?

We don't use them! Instead we use a combination of cultural practices amied at reducing pest pressure. We use bug netting, trap crops, companion planting and hand removal, but our most important defense against pests is to set up the conditions for healthy soil so our plants can grow strong and resist the pest pressures.
Why CNG?

We believe that natural, sustainable agricultural practices are best. For Steven CNG means accountability, a way for customers to know exactly what standards are being met. For me it's about participating in the communities I want to see. CNG is a grassroots organization, based around farmers supporting each other.
What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, debit/credit cards, and apple pay. Starting soon we will be able to accept SNAP (ebt) at Western Wake Farmers Market.
How do you fertalize?

We use a combination of mulch from our land, compost and fish emulsion. We also cover crop and rotate our crops, all of which helps build nutrients into the soil.
