About the Farm
Background
Located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, just minutes from the Mall of Georgia and the Gwinnett Stripers Stadium, this farm has become a beloved local destination for berry enthusiasts. Known for its family-friendly atmosphere and commitment to natural farming, it has garnered a loyal following in the community.
Practices
The farm prides itself on growing blueberries without the use of pesticides or chemicals, ensuring that the produce is as natural and healthy as possible. Visitors are encouraged to pick their own berries, fostering a direct connection between the consumer and the land. The farm also emphasizes the importance of crop replenishment, occasionally closing to allow the fields to recover and maintain their productivity.
The Rest
In addition to blueberries, the farm is home to Scottish Highland cows and goats, providing an added attraction for families with children. Visitors are welcome to feed the animals fresh bread and veggies, but are kindly asked not to share the farm's prized blueberries with them. The farm operates on a seasonal basis, typically open during June and July, with hours that vary depending on crop availability and visitor volume. Pricing is set at $5 per pound, and only cash or checks are accepted.
