Our farm is a North Carolina Bicentennial Farm, farmed by the Herndon family for more than 200 years.  Approximately 75 acres of the farm are protected from development by a permanent conservation easement.

While the area around us has changed from family farms to suburban neighborhoods, we value being part of our evolving community. We are proud to serve our neighbors and other visitors by providing delicious, healthy fruit fresh from the vine. All our crops are pick-your-own, and all are USDA certified organic.

Herndon Farm
Durham • Est. 1780

Bordered on three sides by Durham suburbs and within sight of a sprawling shopping mall, Herndon Hills Farm — part of the 244-year-old Herndon Farm — is a haven where certified-organic blueberries, blackberries, and muscadine grapes are ripe for picking each summer. “People love our blueberries for health and our grapes for happiness,” co-owner Nancy Herndon says.

Clockwise from top right: Nancy, Fred, Cherry, Phillip, and Faith Herndon — standing in front of their historic family farmhouse — raise cows and grow muscadines on the same land that Nancy’s father (historic photos) once tended.

The historic 137-acre property was once said to be the most threatened farm in North Carolina because of pressure from land developers. Knowing that the suburbs would come, Herndon and her father adopted a pick-your-own approach, and now local customers are helping the farm weather the change from rural past to high-tech present.
