Perkins Orchard

A trip to Perkins Orchard in Durham.  The oldest fruit stand in Durham. 

Started in 1970 by Reverend Dr. Joseph E. Perkins as a fruit stand in his front yard.   Today it is run by his grandson, Donovan Alexander Watson, who took over at age 10!  Even then he had big ideas.  He expanded it, and moved it into the backyard.  

Now, 18 years later, Donovan has connected with farmers all over the state for the best produce in North Carolina.  It's a unique farmer's market.  (see here)
