The Old Gray Mare

Located on Soco Road to the west of Maggie Valley, North Carolina, this produce stand offers seasonal fruits and vegetables. We picked up peaches that were so sweet and juicy that we bought a peck on our way out of town to drive home after our vacation. We also bought a plum and several varieties of tomatoes. The staff were very kind and helpful.

Nice little fruit and veggie stand with other misc. items as well. Lots of elk in this area so drive slowly especially in the morning and early evening hours.

I have an eaten a pair in 25 years. I ate my first pair in 25 years at the old Gray mare. It was sweet and delicious, perfect! I got 2 beautiful tomalos. And some local apples. The lady was very nice! We chatted her up. They also have knickknacks and things to look at, And they have honeys and sauces and jellies and candies... Definitely worth to stop!

Super nice people there, lots to choose from and their fried pies are amazing. Their BBQ sauce is incredible from sweet and up the ladder of heat. They have old antique lanterns and irons that are one of a kind and affordable. DO NOT PASS UP THIS PLACE. Worth the visit.

Great selection of local produce and lots of jams, jellies, preserves, etc. Also have really good boiled peanuts.

Amazing selection of mountain grown produce. The cabbages are the size of a 1- year old child! Awesome selection of cool stuff like local craft soda, hot sauce and peanuts. Plus a touch of an antique store!

Fried pies, preserves, and strawberry cider! All delicious! Also if you're a blackberry person make sure to get a carton of those too! They were heavenly and tasted way better than what you buy in the grocery store.

Awesome place to stop for fresh produce and a little bit of antiques the owners are awesome we go there every year to pick up honey and of course pick up some good boiled peanuts highly recommend you stop here.

Friendly service. Cute puppy there too. Delicious Honey Crisp apples!

Great variety, produce is large and all local. Got double yolk eggs and homemade cheeses

The lady who operated the store was a delight. Love this place, I bought some homemade salad dressing and Blueberry butter, all their original recipes. My husband found the best apples we have tasted.

We loved this place. Buy the mountain butter! It was delicious. We actually went back and bought more. We also had yummy tomatoes from there and apples. Peanuts also fantastic. It's a great place to buy food products for gifts etc. too! The owners are so down to earth. We loved it there. Don't drive by! STOP. :)

Loved this place. Best handmade pies!! Good selection of produce, jams, jellies, etc and shopping for older/antique items for the house etc. Check it out!!

We were amazed at the many flavors and fruits to buy here. We are buying everyone some of the large bottle of fruit ciders for Christmas this year. The muscadine was delicious as was the strawberry and blueberry. We had the barbecue pork rins and they were fought over! The chow chow we are excited to use as we only tried with a fork so far. I would recommend if you are in the area if not, they do ship!!!!! Call Barbara! Such a pleasure!

Great place for produce, boiled peanuts and friendly service!

Wowza! Saw the steam from the boiled peanuts and did a u turn to come back. Sweet folks running this place. Got some jelly, pickles, jalapeños, cracklin and peanuts! The cabbages were ginormous. Apple selection was crazy. So much to buy, so little money to get there from us.

Best produce! We always grab a 1/2 bushel of peaches. Amazing!!!!

The variety of produce is huge. Many items I have only heard of, so of course wanted to try them. The owner is very knowledgeable on all the different varieties of produce at the market. They also have many local handmade items, jams and jellies, pickles and so much more.

My family visits this place every time we are in the Maggie valley area. They always have lots of fresh fruit and produce, and fairly good prices too. the people are very friendly, and always willing to answer questions, or just chat about the area a bit.

This is a real local business. A must for those looking to experience the Smokey's at the best.

Love this little Country store going up Soco! The best fruit, & the most giant cabbage you will find! The people who run this store are super friendly & will help w/ anything you may need! Can't wait to go back!
