Olive to see you smile at our picnic. If you’re planning a picnic in one of our picturesque parks, please peruse no further. We put together a list of items to help you pack the perfect local picnic.
Ambiance | Southern Picnics
This luxury picnic service does all the heavy lifting for you with seasonal decor, floral arrangements, and an event planner to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Bread | La Farm Bakery
What’s a local picnic without this French-style bakery’s La Farm bread and a white chocolate baguette (or two)?
Charcuterie | Raleigh Cheesy
Order a board fit for two to 20 people made with high quality meats, cheeses, and delicious accouterments.
Cheese | The Cheese Shop
OK, how about more cheese? This store’s selection of artisanal + farmstead cheeses are cut to order. Psst... we can’t wait for this spot’s new cheese bar.
Fruit | State Farmers Market
The best farmers from across the Tar Heel State + beyond assemble here just to bring you the freshest peaches, apples, tomatoes, and other in-season produce faves.
Pastries | Boulted Bread
Our favorite baked goods from this craft bakery include the morning buns, filled croissants, bialys, and pinwheels, which sound essential for a local picnic.
Snacks | 1in6 Snacks
This brand raises awareness for food insecurity and is behind local chips like Carolina Kettle and Pine State popcorn.

If you read this list and thought, “I want to go on a picnic now, but I don’t have a picnic basket,” we thought of that too. Although something from Amazon isn’t exactly local, we couldn’t resist how cute this picnic kit was.
