Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Georgia? Scroll down this page and select your region of the state for a list of U-Pick farms in Georgia, sorted by county. Farms offering 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?"). If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website. And if you are looking for a local farm stand, roadside stand, farm market or local farmer's market, see our new website, dedicated to those! See your state's crop availability calendar for specific dates of upcoming crops. New! As inflation remains high, see this page for cost-saving measures for getting fruit and vegetables and home canning.

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!

These two are NOT pick-your-own farms, they are homeowners with a couple of acres, so they have huge gardens and sell their home-grown tomatoes. I've had some of their tomatoes, and they are excellent! Both are very close to Gwinnett Place Mall (Costco, Sam's Club, etc.) Here's where to find them. Be sure to tell them where you heard about them!
- 4215 Old Norcross Road, NW, Duluth, GA, 30096 (at the intersection with West Liddell in Duluth / Norcross). His phone is 770-449-4839. Here's a Mapquest map to their stand. He has been charging $1.50 per pound for Better Boy tomatoes.
- 4895 Old Norcross Road NW, Duluth, GA 30096. Not far from the stand above, she is charging $1.25 per pound and is open almost every day except Sunday mornings. Here's a Mapquest map to her stand
Email me from Feedback if you'd like to recommend a home vegetable stand in your area! As long as it is truly a home stand, not a big commercial market stand, I'll add it! I'd just like to give the mom and pop (and children) who are selling their extra home grown veggies a boost!
