Downhome goodness and adventure await visitors at The Farm in Dobson. Unplug and get hands-on with a wide range of fun and educational experiences, from playing in the dirt, riding tractors, and visiting farm animals, to simply enjoying some fresh produce, which varies depending on the season.

A variety of kids’ activities are popular through much of the year in addition to the U-pick strawberries in spring. In the summer, pick up delicious homegrown fruits and veggies at the produce stand. The fall gives way to a large pumpkin patch, a pumpkin barn, apples, corn maze and sunflowers. A Christmas lightshow and festivities brighten the days at the end of the year. Fun and photo ops abound! There is always something new. In 2024, owners Josh and Mayghan Watson plan to open a U-pick peach orchard and blackberry patch along with pond fishing.
