sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
(see "What does Organic mean?").
The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for
a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this

New! We just went live with our latest website,
FunFactoryTours.com - As they name implies, you can find a fun factory tour, including chocolate, automobiles, historical forts and sites, famous buildings,
Active Federal facilities even fun geology: like fossils and volcanic areas
Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole
our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update
the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings,
but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check
every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to
all requests. They don't. Don't support the scammers!
Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook
page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or
Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally
overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with
the farm directly before you go!
And if you know of any farms I missed and want to
add a farm, please let me know!

What's in season in November 2024, and
other timely information:
Notes for November 2024: Crop growth is slowing down, except for Christmas tree farms and if you live in southern California, southern Texas, Florida or
along the Gulf coast where citrus are starting, and believe it or not, the blueberry
and strawberry season in those areas is about to begin. See your state harvest calendar
. This year, much of the country is still seeing mild weather, so lettuce, peas, broccoli, cabbage and other greens are thriving. And this is a good time to
get a canner and learn how to preserve foods for the winter,
like canning some applesauce, apple butter or
jam, which make great gifts. As do your own homemade specialty liqueurs! How about homemade cranberry sauce or a pumpkin pie
made from a real pumpkin for the holidays? See our comprehensive list of
easy
home canning, jam and jelly
making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access
recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search.
A fun winter activity is to
make your own ice cream,
even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. If you have any questions or suggestions,
feel free to write me!

Comments from a visitor on June 10, 2011: "My friend and I had a
fun time at B&G Blueberries on June 4. It was our first visit there, but not
likely the last. I really didn't need any more blueberries, 'cause both my
freezers were already full, but I picked some more anyway and squeezed
another gallon bag in the freezer! I HAD to try the Ray's blueberry & orange
ice cream (though it was more like sorbet) and it was refreshing."
Comments from a visitor on June 06, 2009: "Just wanted to say they
are the best! I was there twice last month and plan to go again next week.
Friendly, helpful, and great blueberries. Highly recommended. "
Comments from a visitor on June 06, 2009: "I visited B & G Blueberries
this morning and despite the rain was able to pick 2 buckets full of
blueberries. Everyone at the farm was very nice. They even had some
youngsters with umbrellas offering to walk you to your car. The cost of the
blueberries was reasonable, $2.50/lb. They accept cash or checks. They
also had a small produce stand selling local produce. They have you sign in
with your name, address and e-mail address so that they can notify you next
year about picking. I did get to speak to the owner of the farm while
waiting for the heavy rain to let up and he told me that he offered his
fields to the U-pickers completely and did not do anything commercial. I
would highly recommend this farm to everyone."

A visitor writes on April 12, 2014: "We went on opening day and even
though it was early in the season, I still came away with 10lbs of berries!
It was so clean and nice but there is very little signage to show the way.
And my GPS tried to take me in a back way which ended up in someone else's
driveway! But the berries were so good and I am ready to go back again! It
was worth the drive to Marion County"
Comments from a visitor on June
12, 2010:
"My young sons and I picked 6 pounds of thorn-less blackberries today. The
owners said they would have berries through at least Wednesday of this week
(i.e. June 16th). Call ahead to be sure. Absolutely beautiful location,
pristine grounds, luscious and delicious ripe berries, and NO THORNS. Super
nice owners, as well. "

picked 30 lbs. within two hours. Nice day!"
