Mark's Melon Patch has grown faster than a vine since 1981 when Mark was only 17 years old selling watermelons from the back of a pickup truck. 44 years later, we have a flourishing retail farmer's market and farm over 90 acres on which we grow strawberries, peanuts, pumpkins, cantaloupes, tomatoes, squash, okra, sweet corn and watermelons. Spring Strawberry and Fall Pumpkin Field Trips have become a big part of our business, and we continue to grow our annual Fall Festival every October.
10/10 i really liked the cowboy cookie. the play area was awesome. great for a stop on a road trip. the white goat with crazy horns was very sweet and the pig was HUGE! Like I've never seen one so big it was insane.

Lots of produce and canned items. Jellies and sauces. Beans and sweets. Super cool stop with nice bathrooms and play area for restless kids. I always enjoy stopping here and picking up something to take home. Also boiled peanuts are always on point.
