Welcome
to Your Very Own Family Farm
Darnell Farms is a true agro-tourism experience for the whole family. We are in a beautiful valley along the banks of the Tuckasegee River in Bryson City, North Carolina.
We’re an active, second-generation family farm. Our farm produces 100 acres of strawberries, pole beans, sweet corn, pumpkins, squash, a variety of tomatoes and much more.
We have several festivals throughout the year. In addition, we host special events and activities for various organizations in our area. We also offer educational field trips to our farm. During our field trips we love sharing information about farm life, methods used to raise our crops and be good stewards of our precious land. We even discuss the history of the lands we farm including the ties to the Cherokee Nation which is literally our next-door neighbor.

We grow tens of thousands of pounds of fruits, yes strawberry is a fruit, and vegetables. In doing so we supply commercially and locally to the whole of Western North Carolina.
