Norris Farms

 
 

    This  Wake County farm  is ran by Lloyad and Barbra Norris.  Lloyad started in the Steel business some years back before he changed over into farming sometime around 1979.  Lloyad and myself became acquainted back in 2008 when he was in need of bees for the pollination of his blueberries. Contacted through the NC state extension agency I took bees out to Lloyads farm and have been there ever since.  Lloyad and Barbra are in  Downtown Cary next to the big painted mural on 220 West Chatham St. every Tuesday from 3pm-6pm and Saturday from 8am-12:30pm April through November.... Lloyad once told me a friend of his came by that had just been to a Certified organic farm and that Lloyad was more organic than they were.  Loyad has taken care of my bees and in return they take care of him.

Favorite quote of Lloyad Norris, “Don’t Farm unless you are prepared to lose it all”. 

Raising bees is farming.
