The Berry Patch - Ellerbe

I grew up here in Richmond County and have always loved and been excited to go to the berry patch. The ice cream is good and the produce is nice. What was very disappointing and disheartening is what happened today when we went to visit the berry patch. Everything was great until we got back to our vehicle and it wouldn't start up at all. My husband tried everything to get it to start but it just wouldn't. He tried to talk to the workers about any jumper cables and understandably they didn't have any. That wasn't the problem. We called someone for help but their car wasn't powerful like we hoped so we were panicky a bit and with me being 25 weeks pregnant and having 4 young girls in the rain my husband tried to speak with the male owner about leaving our vehicle to get whatever we needed to fix it. We never expected to keep it there for long but we needed to try to figure out what to do and were so frazzled. The owner had an attitude and said we had only 24 hours to remove our vehicle or he would have us towed. If it wasn't for another kind person who heard everything happen and helped us in the pouring rain, we would have had to pay a whole lot more to get our vehicle back because of the owners mentality. My husband was in shock and disbelief of this because it felt as if the owner was kicking people when they were down instead of being kind and understanding as we had hoped. I'm in shock too because I would have never thought in a million years that they would be this rude. I hate leaving bad reviews but I believe people should know about this as I would never treat someone this low especially in the pouring rain. And for something that was 100% out of our control. Please do better!

Love this little market. I stop on the way to the beach for my fresh produce and then on the way back home to get more. Usually visit 6 times a year.

Local favorite and secret. This place had a little bit of everything. Fresh produce, canned and bagged items, tee shirts, ice cream, and hard candy by the pound. Staff is very helpful and kind.

Fun stop! I needed to take a break from driving use the restroom, so I stopped here. The bathrooms had really long lines, but they were clean. They had ice cream and food for sale, along with picnic tables.I’m glad I stopped here, but I wouldn’t stop here just for the restroom because the lines were long. But this is a great stop if you’re looking to break up the drive and do something fun and different.

Great relaxing atmosphere. The kids enjoy taking off their shoes and putting their toes in the sand, while they eat great treats! We go for the homemade ice-cream, fresh fruit and the boiled peanuts! I also love their candles
