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
page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined;
click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or
inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
New! As inflation remains high, see this page for
reliable (tested) brands of generic canning lids at lower
costs, and cost-saving measures for
getting fruit and vegetables and home canning.
If you are having a hard time
finding canning lids, I've used these, and they're a great price & ship in 2 days.
New! Road tripping and camping is a great way to have a fun, safe and inexpensive
family trip. The national and state parks and monuments are open, and campgrounds usually cost between $10 and $40 per night. September to November is the best
camping weather. See our new website Road Tripping and Camping.com for tips, tricks,

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!
I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find

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 July 16, 2012: "I've
been picking blueberries every summer with , from their website)my kids for over 10 years, and
our experience at Mr.Mark Ransbotham's blueberry farm was the best picking
we have ever done here in Georgia. Our usual farms were either closed or our
of berries, so I called Cool Springs before heading out to Gainesville. Mr.
Ransbotham was so kind and informative on the farm that I was sure I had
found a hidden jem. The drive and the farm are beautiful. We walked into the
office where Mr. Ransbotham told us about where to pick the berries and gave
us harnesses that held our buckets as we picked. The kids were hopeful and
excited to see the field where we would be enjoying our morning. I was so
very impressed that the owner walked us out to the section and kindly told
us that if we couldn't find enough berries then we could go to his other
field. The blueberry bushes are young and approximately 3 feet tall and just
loaded with gorgeous blueberries. The kids loved how they were spaced and
how nicely they were spaced. Our favorite part was the fact that several of
the bushes were in the shade and we could either sit on the ground or use
one of the orange buckets to sit on as we picked. When it was time to pay
for our berries (only $10 for a bucket) Mr. Ransbotham told us all about the
different varieties that we picked. In the fall and spring you can purchase
blueberry bushes which is a wonderful service. In addition to blueberries,
the farm offers cold drinks to make the travel home a little easier. We will
definitely be back, and I strongly recommend this blueberry as perfect for
families of all ages. I truly wish I had known about this little piece of
paradise before now!"

Note from Blake:
I've
been to this farm many times. They are very well organized, the
fields and berries are great and the people are very nice. The
strawberries this year are amazing: huge, juicy, and flavorful through and
through. Get there
early for best picking!
Comments from a visitor on June 02, 2012:
"Washington Farms Watkinsville, Ga - (May 30/12) Picked
blackberries and blueberries earlier this week. They were amazing, so big
and juicy. Easy to pick with small children and they also have strawberries
(however its towards the end of the season for strawberries). Check out
their website for more info. Great location, friendly people and great
picking! Most importantly delicious berries!!!, "
Comments from a visitor on July 01, 2009:
"We went to the Washington farm location that is in Watkinsville to pick
blueberries, and they were so kind. Me and my family had SUCH a good time.
My daughter in only 18months old and at a bunch of blueberries and they
didn't get mad or upset, even though I said I would pay for more than what
we picked, they told us not to worry about it. It was really family friendly
and we will DEFINITELY be going back. "
Comments from a visitor on April 30, 2009: "We love the friendly staff,
large fields for picking & the play area. "

A visitor writes on May 26, 2019: "The
trip out to Buffalo Creek Berry far is so worth your time! Cameron and Laura
are the nicest, loving people and you can't help being entertained by Elsie
and her berry covered face, Savanna laughs at her all the time! You can see
the love of the earth in this family by the care Laura takes with each plant
or fruit and Cameron works so hard at keeping his land healthy and free of
toxins, pesticides and harm. The strawberries were new this year, the rows
were well maintained, the old fruit was removed to help prevent fungus and
bugs, such a pleasant experience our group of ladies had. We treated
ourselves with homemade strawberry ice cream afterwards! Support this
working farm by spending some time out here, the proof is in the taste of
these berries, you will not find more flavorful berries! You and your body
will appreciate them too! Downtown Lexington was a wonderful stop too, the
Rowdy Rooster carries the fruit if you can't make it all the way. Dr. Rhonda
Mills"
A visitor writes on June 30, 2013: "I visited the Buffalo Creek
Farm today, June 30, 2013 with my four kids, ages 7 - 10 (yes, that includes
a set of twins) and we thought the farm was just wonderful. We chose Buffalo
Creek because they had peaches, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries
and with four kids, they couldn't agree on just one kind, so this was
perfect. The day we went, the peaches were not "pick your own," but they had
some picked for you to buy. They did have rows and rows of blueberries - we
could have picked all day long, and we didn't get there until almost noon
because we drove in from Atlanta. We also picked full gallons of raspberries
and blackberries! Now my only problem is what to do with all of the
beautiful fruit we picked! The owners couldn't have been nicer. They were
wonderfully sweet to my children and didn't mind if they ate some of the
berries as we picked. Also, there were real bathrooms, not port-a-potties.
The whole place was beautifully maintained and lovingly kept with bushes
overflowing with fruit. Cannot recommend this farm enough! We will be back
next year!"
Comments from a visitor on
July 18, 2010: "My wife and I were celebrating her birthday today, July
18th 2010, and she wanted to go to a peach farm as well as a blueberry farm.
we checked all over the internet and found several within 75 miles of
Suwanee,Ga. After checking out several of the farms and the comments left by
customers we were concerned that we might go to a farm where the
owners/managers would not have good customer service, or the farm might be
in need of some lawn, poison ivy maintenance. Boy, were we surprised when we
arrived at Buffalo Creek Berry Farm. The farm was in very good condition.
The peach trees were in excellent condition and the blueberry bushes had
been properly trimmed for the maximum output of berries as well as no poison
ivy, and no tall grass on the farm. You could tell that the owners really
cared about their farm as well as you, their customer. This farm is the best
hidden secret this side of Georgia. Always call first, but you will not be
disappointed with their peaches, blueberries or their true hospitality. "
