Open Sunday, October 2, 2022, for the Last Day of this season! Hours: 7:30am-1:00pm. LAST CHANCE for U-Pick: “Fuyu” Persimmons, Muscadine grapes, figs, eggplant, okra, peppers, and sunflowers. Also jars of our homemade Fig Preserves, Spicy Garlic Dill Pickles and Pickled Okra for sale. Our Fry Scuppernong Muscadine Grapes and Supreme Black Muscadine Grapes are 23-26% sugar, with edible skin, and great for jelly, wine or eating fresh. Fig trees are loaded, and have lost most leaves, so ripe fruit is easy to see. “Fuyu” Persimmons are non-astringent, seedless, ready to eat when still firm, ripe when DEEP ORANGE in color, and very difficult to pick without clippers. PLEASE BRING CLIPPERS TO HARVEST PERSIMMONS, EGGPLANT and SUNFLOWERS. Prices: U-Pick fruit $5.50/lb, vegs $2.50/lb. For childrens’ safety, please do not allow them to pull or hang on wire supporting the grapevines. We will NOT have picking boxes for sale, so please bring your own container to pick in. We furnish plastic bags for you to pick in and place inside your container, and we will remove the bag of produce for weighing at check-out. If produce is not in a bag, your container weight will be included in the charged weight. Surprise! OPEN Saturday 9-24-22 7:30am-1:00pm for U-Pick Muscadine grapes, figs and eggplant. Also jars of our homemade Spicy Garlic Dill Pickles and Pickled Okra for sale. Bring shears for picking eggplant. There are TONS of grapes to pick, but figs tend to get picked out early. Many of the fig leaves have fallen, so the figs are easy to see and pick. For childrens' safety, please do not allow them to hang or pull on the wire that supports the grapes. We will NOT have picking boxes for sale, so please bring your own container to pick in. We furnish plastic bags for you to pick in and place inside your container, and we will remove the bag of produce for weighing at check-out.

We have been busy filling jars with our homegrown Spicy Pickled Okra and Fig preserves, so stock up on those in the market.
