Charlotte's Piedmont location brings hot, humid summers around 89°F and mild winters at 34°F. The red clay soil, when properly amended, supports excellent farming. With 218 frost-free days and 43 inches of rainfall spread throughout the year, the area maintains a long, productive growing season from April through November.
Charlotte grew as a cotton trading center before the Civil War, with surrounding farms feeding textile mill workers. The area pioneered peach growing in the Carolinas. Modern Charlotte farms balance tradition with innovation, supplying the city's brewery scene with hops and restaurants with heirloom produce.
Strawberry season starts in April when NASCAR races through town. June brings blueberries and blackberries, while July offers amazing peaches and sweet corn. September means apple season in nearby mountain orchards. Fall brings pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and collard greens. Many farms grow traditional Southern varieties alongside international crops for Charlotte's diverse population.
Farms dot the countryside in Union County (35 minutes via Highway 74), Cabarrus County (30 minutes via I-85), and toward the mountains (60 minutes via I-40). Race weekends bring heavy traffic. Spring and fall offer perfect weather. Many farms are family operations with multiple generations working together. Some offer camping and combine well with visits to wineries or the Whitewater Center.
