Scuppernong Muscadine grapes are still ripening, so not ready to pick yet. Come on out and visit the farm before the season ends!

Peaches are only available for U-Pick on the trees with orange ribbons, as shown.

We were hard at work during this past week when we were closed! For sale Tues., 7/19/22: Our own honey, pickled okra and fig jam. Sunflowers shown can be picked from the field in far back right corner of farm.

First harvest of honey from our hives, located around the perimeter of the farm. Everyone who has tried the honey says it is Grade A and tastes wonderful.

LSU Gold figs are ripe when they get a hint of gold color (not green).

Magnolia figs in lower part of picture are ready to pick.
