West Produce is a family owned and operated produce farm located in the Spring Lake area of Harnett County. West Produce features produce, hayrides, tours, field trips, and special activities.
Seeking a new location for a fun
and educational field trip for your
students and kids? Tommy and Jean West
welcome you to West Produce, our
family-owned farm near Spring Lake in
southern Harnett County. West Produce
has been a working vegetable produce
farm since 1990, but we are especially
passionate for educating youth about
agriculture, and helping children
understand where their food comes
from. Despite a rich agricultural
heritage, many youth in our area have
not grown up on a farm, and have lost
the connection to the land and the
central importance of farming to all
of our lives.
Our tours are also aimed at helping
you meet your teaching objectives.
Tommy teaches students about: the
importance of soil and nutrients
to plant growth; the life cycles of
numerous vegetable
crops, from seeds to shoots to flowers
and fruits; the vital role of honey
bees and native bees play in
pollinating crops and how honey bees
make honey; how farmers plant, water,
fertilize, and harvest vegetable
crops;
how farmers raise and use farm
animals, including: chickens, sheep,
goats, cows, and donkeys.
You are invited to schedule group
tours of our farm this year from
September 21 to October 31, from 9 am
to 6 pm Monday through Saturday, and
from 12 to 6 pm on Sunday. Tours are
$7.00 per student, but there is no
charge for teachers and group leaders.
West Produce is fully insured to host
educational farm tours, and we have
been recognized by the NC Department
of Agriculture as an Agritourism site
and Certified Roadside Farm Market.
