Pack House Farm
Providing fresh picked fun and a connection to agriculture
The Strength of the Farm is the Pack!
Meet NC State Punter Caden Noonkester at Pack House Farm – Saturday, July 12, 2025
Football and farming may seem many yards apart—but on Saturday, July 12, they come together in a celebration of hard work, community, and Wolfpack pride! NC State punter Caden Noonkester is bringing his unique story to Pack House Farm for a special meet-and-greet event you will not want to miss!
This special opportunity, hosted in partnership with OnePack NIL, offers a unique experience for fans, families, and friends of farming to connect with one of the Wolfpack’s stars—both on the field and in the field. It’s a day that brings to life our motto for the event: “The Strength of the Pack is the Farm. The Strength of the Farm is the Pack.” Whether you’re a die-hard NC State fan, a curious mind, or someone who believes in the future of North Carolina agriculture, this event is for you.
About Caden Noonkester
Caden Noonkester didn’t grow up farming, but since arriving at NC State, he’s quickly become a strong voice for North Carolina agriculture. After walking onto the football team and earning his place as starting punter, Caden also found his passion in Crop & Soil Sciences, graduating with a degree in Agronomy and continuing into graduate studies focused on ag sales and consulting. His story is one of grit, growth, and purpose—whether flipping the field for the Pack or helping growers make better farm decisions.
About Pack House Farm
Located in Apex, Pack House Farm is a small, seasonal pick-your-own operation owned and operated by Beth and Kevin Farrell, both proud NC State alumni and lifelong supporters of Wolfpack athletics. Since opening to the public five years ago, the farm has become a place where community, agriculture, and Pack pride all come together. We’re honored to welcome Caden—and you—to the farm
