Visitors praise our amazing tomatoes and sweet onions! We welcome pick-your-own veggies and tours—just drop us a message.

Shines Farm Stand boasts the finest locally sourced produce that keeps restaurateurs coming back for more. Over two decades ago, Charlie Blaylock and his wife made their home on a property with a barren 1.3-acre backyard that was initially dry and unforgiving, seemingly incapable of sustaining life. However, through Charlie's unwavering dedication and hard work, the once-sterile soil was transformed into a fertile haven. Chef McCook of Ellerbe Fine Foods is an avid admirer of the farm. "Charlie's passion shines through in his produce. I always have confidence in the exceptional quality of his offerings." Today, Shines Farm Stand features an expansive 8,400 square-foot garden brimming with a variety of nutritious plants. "Charlie cultivates the area's finest vegetables!
