  • Patterson Farm

    Patterson Farm began in 1919 when James A. Patterson started growing vegetables in North Carolina. After boll weevils ruined his cotton crop in 1941, he switched his full acreage to tomatoes. By 1946, the family was growing tomatoes commercially as James A. Patterson & Sons. Today, Patterson Farm grows over 200 acres of tomatoes and around 80 acres of strawberries, along with squash, peppers, cucumbers, corn, and cantaloupes. The farm also operates a seasonal market and agri-tourism business with pick-your-own fields, tours, and family events. Patterson Farm remains one of North Carolina’s largest tomato growers.
