ABOUT  US


Smith's Nursery is a family-owned and operated nursery and produce farm in Johnston County, North Carolina.  Owner Myron Smith has over 40 years of nursery experience and 27 years of strawberry farming experience.  We are committed to producing high-quality fruit, vegetable, and horticultural crops while maintaining the sustainability of farming in North Carolina.

Year-round we operate a nursery where we grow a wide variety of landscape shrubs. We specialize in container-grown plants such as Wax Myrtles, Hollies, ornamental grasses, and much more!  If you are a wholesale purchaser click the "Wholesale Nursery" tab at the top of the page for more information.  We are also open to the public.

In addition to the nursery, we also operate a full-scale garden center, complete with most all of your landscape needs; shrubs, trees, vines, perennials, annuals, hanging baskets, and more. On our farm, we grow strawberries, blueberries, greenhouse tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, cantaloupes, and more! We offer pick your own strawberries and blueberries in the spring and summer as well as a pumpkin patch and hayrides in the fall. We recently upgraded our roadside produce stand and currently operate a farmers market that we keep stocked with fresh local produce, local meats, dairy, fresh-baked breads, and more. In addition to the farmers market, we have a wonderful ice cream and coffee stand and offer fresh Maple View Dairy ice cream and Larry's coffee!

The berry and pumpkin seasons provide a great opportunity for an educational field trip for preschool and elementary school students, special needs individuals, and church groups. The field trips are available in the spring and fall and either include strawberry picking or pumpkin picking depending on the season as well as visits to our chickens, large farm animals, and our catfish pond. Fall field trips include a hayride around the farm.

Come out to our farm and see all we have to offer. We are open year-round in the nursery office. Our farmers market, garden center, ice cream & coffee, and pick-your-own crops are open and available seasonally. If you have any questions please call ahead!

Thank you for visiting our site and we hope to see you at the nursery soon!
