A Fall Saturday at Ronnie’s Berry Farm

Pumpkins, local sellers, and friendly competition come together at Ronnie’s Berry Farm on Saturday, October 17, for the JoCo Community Market and Pumpkin Fest.

The event listing schedules the gathering from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 18409 NC Highway 210 in Angier. It’s a chance to browse seasonal goods, meet local vendors, and enjoy the fall atmosphere.

What Makes This Market Different?

The event organizers are encouraging vendors to bring their best pumpkin, fall, and Halloween-themed merchandise. That seasonal focus gives shoppers a chance to look for decorations, gifts, and other items suited to October.

The event listing doesn’t publish a confirmed roster of vendors or promise specific products, so visitors should expect the selection to depend on who participates.

For people who enjoy shopping locally, that unpredictability can be part of the appeal. Each booth may offer something different, and a community market lets visitors talk directly with the people selling their work or merchandise.

A Pumpkin Pie Competition

One featured activity is a Pumpkin Pie Contest. See the contest information before entering. The organizers invite people to participate and say the winner will receive a prize.

The listing also refers to registration for a pie-eating contest. Because the published description uses both terms, anyone interested in competing should call the organizer to confirm the contest format, rules, and registration requirements before arriving.

That’s especially important if you’re planning to bake and bring a pie. The online event listing doesn’t specify judging criteria, entry deadlines or whether advance registration is required.

Calling Local Vendors

The market is also an opportunity for small businesses, makers and seasonal sellers to reach local customers.

Organizers specifically ask participating vendors to send pictures of their pumpkin, fall or Halloween-themed items so those products can be featured on social media before the event.

Vendors who want a spot should contact the organizers for the registration link and any applicable requirements. The public listing does not specify booth fees or space dimensions.

Planning Your Visit

Ronnie’s Berry Farm is located along NC Highway 210 in the Angier area. Visitors unfamiliar with the property can use the directions to plan their trip.

The published hours are 11 a.m.–3 p.m., making this a daytime outing rather than an evening festival. The listing doesn't confirm an admission price, so check with the organizers if cost is a concern.

Because the event is outdoors at a farm, comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are sensible choices. If you're coming mainly for a particular vendor or the pie competition, confirm those arrangements before you go.
