Located east of Mooresville, Patterson Farm has long been a popular destination. Set in Rowan County’s rolling Piedmont, the farm makes for the perfect outing for families. The spring strawberry season is when the pick-your-own farm is in full swing.

While sweet, juicy, tasty strawberries are reason enough to visit, Patterson Farm features much more throughout the year, including a farm market and a wide range of tours and educational offerings.

Picking strawberries is only one aspect. It has homemade ice cream, plants, and flowers, a kiddie petting zoo, play areas and much more, but not all crowded together like other touristy places.
