Fill Up Those Berry Baskets at These U-Pick Berry Farms

[ad_1]

Dreaming of ripe blackberries? Interested in upick blueberries? Greenville, SC, and WNC have several places to pick those sweet, juicy berries yourself! We love picking fresh berries and filling up the freezer for this year’s blueberry muffins, oatmeal, blackberry cobbler, pies, and more. Here’s a list of local blueberry and blackberry farms in Greenville where you can pick your own.

Definitely check these farms’ websites, Facebook pages or give them a call. Farms will close early if they’ve had heavy picking, bad weather, etc. Additionally, many of these farms are small, family-run farms and they’ll let you know where to find them to pay for your berries. Sometimes they’ll have hours where they will be at a farm shed or store and other hours where you’ll need to stop at a house on the property. So it’s good to know where you’ll find the owners before you get picking.
