Whats not to love about artisans. People that have a strong connection to natural goodness for body and soul. Fruits, veggies, granola, breads jams, plants, spices, beautiful jewelry hand made with rare unique jems or stones, local honey (always use honey locally for allergies a month before visiting to help your body become immune to allergies while on holiday wherever) Should I say more. Lol yes youll love it.Last day I believe was today for the season.See you next year. Hugs and happy holidays

Real quick, this is a review for the farmers market part of Poplar Groove. Ill be honest, I havent explored much of the place at all, but the farmers market on the other hand, I have. It isnt the largest market in the world, in fact one of the smallest Ive been too, but that doesnt detract from it. The vendors are nice people, selling items ranging from paintings, cheesecake, local fruit and vegetables and meats, soaps and oils, and much more. Vendors also change often. Open on wednesdays till 1pm, it is a nice place to stop and check out. Great place to support local business.Many support cards, though Id recommend buying with cash if possible. Im not a hundred percent sure, but I believe some methods of payment come with fees that will either cost you or the vendor extra money, thus cash is the best way to support them. However, if you have no cash on hand, a card purchase is better than no purchase at all for the vendor.

Los of veggies, crafts, honey, breads and much much more. Take a short break walk around have your morning coffee and enjoy. Wednesday 8 - 1. Only four weeks left until next year.

Great place on Wednesdays there a farmers market from 8-1. Its wonderful. Be sure to check out Wax Eloquence booth that hand makes melts, freshies, scrubs and lots more!#countrynuggett

The farmers market on Wednesday is great. They have a good mix of booths to choose from. I would suggest Red Tail Farm for your meat needs. We get our eggs, whole chicken, and pork from them.

Found a very cool Indian pipe plant here! Very cool!

Thoroughly enjoyed our informative tour with Chrissy! The gift shop has interesting articles too. The family could perhaps have kept a replica of the slave quarters for historical accuracy. Looks like a wonderful venue for a wedding!! Will definitely return with family and friends! Thank you!!

We went to the Farmers Market. There was a wide variety of craftsmen, food and fresh produce. Most food vendors offered samples. Most of the vendors are local or within 100 miles.

Its an amazing piece of history preserved.it is wonderful to be able to learn from our past, so that we dont make the same mistakes in the future.

Great times with animals

Had fun walking the farmers market. Found several items that we bought and will probably order from the exhibitor.

Loved the farmers market great worm dirt for plants salsa the bomb wine to die for sourdough bread like granny used to make loved the Farmers Market and such cool people also I think the castings worm dirt was the best deal there we will be able to tell and I cant wait to see the after effects it does to my plants

Love that they are still allowing local vendors to do a market on Wednesday, but was sad to see everything closed up as far as historical structures and no bathrooms.

I had fun there it was a good place to go and look around

I went to the Wednesday pet friendly market full of vendors from vegetables, outdoor chimes, hand made soaps, jewelry, fresh and frozen fish and meats; LOCAL wines, flowers and plants plus much more. Then went for 1.5 mile trail walk on side of market and took pets with me. Will be coming here weekly.

Farmers Market was great. There were all types of vendors & prices (some normal some high). Great time.

First time there and the Farmers Market was quite enjoyable. Big variety of vendors. Its clear that the organizer only permits a limited number of similar vendors.

On the web page it said it was open but after driving all the way down here it was closed. It would be nice if they would up date thier web page so people dont waste their time. We took some pictures from the road.On a good note we found walking trail dog friendly right next door. There is a little animal sanctuary there. So if you are in the aera with your dogs or just want a walk it looks nice there. We didnt walk it just looked a the map

Beautiful trails to walk or bike ride that go way back. Dog friendly but definitely not off leash. Beautiful scenery!

I love this place. They have the farmers market in Wednesdays and yesterday they had brew, bourbon and bbq festival. Its really great for educational tours or you can always relax with a walk on the nature trails. Or visit the animals in their sanctuary.

Please change the name. Take out Plantation. Good Farmers market though.

Very beautiful! There is so much history here. I recommend the guided tour, they know so much about the history of the house.

Lovely place and helpful staff.

Extremely talented vendors, I ALWAYS leave with the best treasures!!!!!

I went here on a field trip a little while ago, and it was beautiful. Poplar Grove has interesting stories to tell and gorgeous gardens. Definitely worth your time.

Every Wednesday they set up the flea market in the front yard of the plantation. We bought so many homemade goods before our tour. Since it was during the week, we were the only people on the tour. The inside of the house is beautiful! Our guide spent a lot of time in each room answering our questions. They also offer military discounts! The grounds are very extensive, and you can watch a basket weaver out back. The gardens and all grounds are included. Awesome pitstop through historic Wilmington.

Beautiful place. See the family home, Tennant house, blacksmithy, barn with horses, farmers market on Wednesday in summer.

Great plantation. Very informative tour. There are grounds to walk around on here unlike other house tours in the area.

Passionate, knowledgeable tour guides and an old plantation atmosphere that has weathered the year quite well. Enough of the original 19th century history is present to give you perspective into life then, before, and after, and the new additions coexist with rather than replace what was present before. The tour guides have knowledge that is very specific to the house and property, and seem to care deeply for the history of the family and region. And bonus: there is an animal sanctuary on the property! Many friendly pigs, goats, horses, and cats!Im glad I checked it out. $12 a person for guided tour is a bit steep considering the lack of many original artifacts or outbuildings (by contrast, you can tour the giant and very historically important USS North Carolina for $14), but as someone from the North where there isnt anything like this, I really enjoyed it, and the money goes to running and maintain what is left.

Weekly Farmers market! Everyone was in masks and the plants were looking good!! Got some Hippy Chick Granola and Cape Fear Pirate Candy Pinapple Bacon Salsa!! Yummmmmy!

Beautiful. Very historical. Awesome farmers market on weekends

My husband surprised me with a blacksmithing class with Autumn Day. It was so much fun! She was super knowledgeable and we had a fantastic time. I Highly recommend it and will definitely be back.

The herb and garden festival was awesome!

We LOVE the trails that are there and so fo our DOGS!!

Beautiful house, working farm, lovely staff.

Poplar Grove Plantation is beautiful and one of the most interesting places to go. I love the plantation house. Ive toured the house several times during the years and it never disappoints. I like that the plantation is having amazing events now too. We went to the food truck round up and had an amazing Saturday. Dogs are welcome too! Just need more events and Ill be here every weekend.

So much to look at. Everytime we go my kids just love it so much. We love to just hang out there for a while. The place is so calming and fresh.

I went on the midnight ghost tour and it was everything I wanted and more. its so creepy there. I love it. I even like to go just to walk to trails with my dogs. definitely go

So beautiful, grounds and surrounding area. Very informative. Wonderful tour guid. Thank you. Highly recommend.

Really liked the paranormal experience except wedding going on at same time took away from the experience somewhat. Also the covering of actual graves seems a little over the top to me but we did enjoy it. But if we go back will make sure no wedding party will be going on as well.

Great home and grounds. Our tour guide, Kim, did an excellent job explaining the family history and life on the plantation. The grounds also has a basket gallery, stables, tenant farmer home, blacksmith shop and another building that explains peanut growing and harvest. In the basket gallery they have volunteers who make baskets and show the many varieties of baskets used on the plantation. There are also homemade baskets that you can purchase. It was a wonderful visit.

Nice nature trail to walk. The farmers market is varied and fun... I purchase arts, jewelry, produce & baked goods while there. Also they offer several festivals each year. I love it.

When you call no-one answers and doesnt say they are closed on the voice mail. It is not well posted on the website they are closed.

Took the beginner blacksmith workshop with Autumn Day. Fantastic time, Autumn was an informative and patient teacher. Highly recommended.

Great place to engage with plantations life pre and post emancipation. Its really all about the graceful house as exhibits outside are limited, but the barn has some interest regarding peanut growing.

What an interesting place!! Our house tour guide, Kim, was very knowledgeable. The grounds walk was self guided and well marked. The herb garden was interesting. Open the bird house door next to the garden and there will be an herb pamplet explaining the uses. We really enjoyed everything.

Our tour guide Emily was fantastic. Really enjoyed the tour of the manor and the grounds

I am so in love with this location! We will be getting married here in fall 2020. Emily is always full of great information about the history of the site and I couldnt ask for a better wedding and events coordinator than Chrissy!

Awesome place!

Love love love walking the trail at Poplar Grove! This time we took 3 of our 4 Samoyeds and they absolutely loved the walk!! This time we noticed lots of colored gem rock and small toy villages that had been set up in various tree trunks and root systems throughout the course of the trail. Gnomes, fairies and castles to experience in shrunken size compared to the background they are built on! We trekked 1.9 miles today and our pups will surely be lazy the rest of the day!

Popular place for many to tie the knot. Heat in the tent and safety with power cords across the venue in the dark would be our suggestion.

Fresh produce at great prices

Beautiful place! Nice people, knowledgeable guides. Great field trip with our 5th grade.

I’ve been to multiple events at Poplar Grove over the years... such a great venue. We love to come check out the trails. There are a few trails that loop around a pond... the long wooden bridge is a great little stop. One of my dogs favorite places to go for a run!

Its changed a lot. Not much fresh vegetables available. Safety protocol was followed. Probably will not return.

Awesome Farmers Market also

Stopped while on vacation. We made it a point to stop here and were not disappointed. Highly suggest you visit.

Food truck rodeo going on...great food and friendly service from all

Visited for a wedding. Grounds are nice. Beautiful place.

Nice venue

Our family had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the trail. While walking on the trail dont forget to lool for the gnomes along the way.

Very nice.

Went for a wedding stunning views gorgeous set up cant wait to go back for an actual tour

Great place

Had a great time at Brews & Broomsticks festival. Great cause!

Poplar Grove is a jewel. Love being there!

Very nice place to take the kids. Lots of history

Always a good time here! Great events. Well laid out.

We had great conversation with the staff during the tour of the house and grounds. Such an interesting history!

Nice quiet trails, easy walk in the woods. Havent been to the plantation or animal sanctuary.

Best nature trail around the local area that I have found. I have been going for 6 years and always enjoy my long walks.

My niece chose Poplar Grove Plantation for her wedding site and I have been to way too many weddings in my 50 some years but I must say this was one of the best venues for a wedding Ive ever been to the ballroom is Charming everything was enough without being too much and the beauty of the grounds along with the reasonable rates make it an absolute five star without a doubt

Love their holiday market events.

Beautifully kept and curated plantation house. If you like history take the guided tour (about an hour) and look for their special events like moonlight ghost tours or craft fairs or live music. Theres a public trail through the woods that are adjacent (share the same parking area on the NorthEast side) - take the path to the pond in the woods to see the turtles (bring bug spray for you and old veggies for them).

Beautiful plantation! The have an area where they have rescue horses. They have a farmers market and hold other events with music and artistisans.

Very good tour ...the house is gorgeous

I enjoyed our historic tour of the Manor house. Interesting that the same family lived there for 176 years!

Didnt go into plantation home. I loved walking on the nature trail. There are more than 2 miles of marked trails. Dogs on leashes are allowed. I gave four stars because many people do not keep their dogs on leashes.

Great fun at The Derby Festival. Good BBQ from Poor Piggies. Always a great place to go..

Beautiful trails. People are friendly. Dogs are off leash - not sure what can be done about that. Would suggest to stay away or come earlier / later if your dog does not do well with off leash dogs.

Did the garden show every year. Gets more crowded. Arts, crafts, veggie garden plants & more. Good to visit non event time. Petting zoo for kids.

Absolute must see. The tour was extremely informative and about 1.5 hrs.

My son got married there last November it is a beautiful place.

Good place to get some exercise among some nice scenery.

Super pretty and they do alot do help the community which I really like

Love this location every time I go. Never gets old!

Beautiful home. Loved my time spent there!

Nice place

Very good selection of crafts this weekend!

Lots to do and everyone there is in a good mood. We loved all of the animals and the plentiful food options!

Lovely staff and very knowledgeable of the property. Beautiful house, but not much paranormal activity on the night we went. But I wasnt disappointed at all. Going again in December to see decorations.

Nice vendors

Love it not only do they do farmers markets twice a week every farm animals r rescues which I think makes it unique

Love the markets!

Take you dog and go for a walk through the woods at Poplar Grove. Theres a hidden lake that many pups jump into to cool off. Visit the farmers market on Wednesday. Great spot!

Beautiful property. The employees/volunteers are kind, helpful, and passionate. I love that visitors are able to learn about our local history.

Love to walk the property. So peaceful

Beautiful grounds and family friendly.

Excellent tour with lots of historical information. Wonderfully preserved.

Important North Carolina coastal history dating back to 1800 peanut farm. Well preserved and instructive with guided and unguided tours. Attended the Cape Fear BBQ Festival today at Poplar Grove - great venue!
