The Farm at Dover Vineyards

Established with a focus on sustainable agriculture, the farm has grown to include a 4-acre vineyard and a 3-acre garden. Known for its commitment to local produce, it sells vegetables and other products grown or produced by friends and family within North Carolina. The farm also participates in the Plaza Midwood Farmers Market on Saturdays.

The farm employs sustainable practices in both its vineyard and garden. Despite challenges with irrigation due to iron-laden water and a convoluted well system, the farm continues to adapt by focusing on crops less dependent on irrigation. The farm values the skill and dedication required for farm labor, recognizing the complexity and expertise needed to manage the land effectively.

The farm stand offers a variety of products, including vegetables and goods from local producers. They also support mission work in Africa, encouraging donations of gardening tools and other gifts. The farm faces seasonal challenges, particularly in the summer, and relies on skilled labor to maintain operations. The owner's father, a disabled vet with significant health issues, has been a central figure in the farm's history, though his ability to contribute is waning.
