There is a good chance you’ve probably never heard of Carthage, NC... but take a look at our favorite local spots and you will realize why so many people want to make Carthage their next home.

FARMERS MARKETS

You will find Highlander's Farm less than a mile off the road of the Brookwood Community. In the summer – it makes for a sweet little spot. You can get homemade ice cream, fresh produce, and even the chance to pick your own berries.  Close by you will also find Karefree Produce, a family-owned farm that sources everything from produce to baked goods from local vendors.

LOCAL COFFEE

Similarly, caffeine lovers can head to Downtown Carthage where they can find Buggy Town Coffee. This local favorite has everything from house-roasted, specialty grade coffee, cafe-style breakfast and lunch, homemade pastries and desserts (try their macarons!), to house-made syrups and lemonades. 

MOORE COUNTY LIBRARY

Carthage is home to the main Moore County Library which has a dedicated host of programs along with summer reading programs. Moore County Library also provides a pre-school story hour once a week!

PARKS AND REC

Homeowners can find Moore County Sports Complex right down the road from Brookwood Community and Laurel Ridge community and hosts athletic programs for all ages! From kids to seniors, there is a sports team for you! Plus, there is a separate shaded playground where parents can bring their kids. On top of everything else, it has a splash pad that’s open all summer.

The locals of Carthage also love Nick’s Creek Greenway, a 3.5 mile out and back trail, and Reservoir Park, a 2 mile loop. Both are shaded trails and an excellent place to bring the entire family for a bike ride along with your dogs.

COMMUNITY FITNESS

Carthage has no shortage of attractions when it comes to fitness. Wongo’s Barbell gym and CrossFit Baile have classes for different fitness levels throughout the day. CrossFit Baile also offers fitness programs designed specifically for kids as well as childcare for the little ones!
If you're looking for your "village" to get fit with, check out S.L.A.M. (sweat like a mother!), a community of women that come together with the mindset to make themselves stronger, motivate each other, and show their children what it means to Sweat Like A Mother. They work out as a group in several locations across the county.
