Below are the U-Pick orchards and farms for scuppernongs that we know of in this area. Not all areas of any state, nor even every state, have scuppernongs orchards that are open to the public. If you know of any others, please tell us using the add a farm form!

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.
