Harvest our acres

Join us for fruit & wildflower picking throughout the summer months.

What to pick & when to pick it

  • + Generally available during the month of May
    + $12 per basket + Farm Pass

    Mayhaw trees are indigenous to the southern United States and thrive in wetland environments. Every spring, the trees produce berry sized fruit that looks similar to a cranberry or a crabapple. Tart in flavor, these little red gems are ideal for juicing and jelly making. 

    How it Works

    Inquire for availability upon arrival. If mayhaws are available, you will be able to purchase a mayhaw picking basket. In addition, all guests ages two and older will need a farm pass to access the farm grounds. Enjoy a 10 minute walk to the mayhaw orchard. Fill your basket, keep your basket, and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

 FAQ

  • Yes! Fruit and wildflower picking are located on the farm grounds, and farm passes are required to enjoy the farm grounds beyond the dining area. Farm passes are required for all guests ages two and older.

  • Because nature and the weather are unpredictable, we generally do not offer reservations for fruit and wildflower picking. Sometimes the fruit ripens early and sometimes it ripens late. Sometimes it rains, sometimes the yield isn’t what we thought it would be, and sometimes a flock of crows eats all of our fruit.

  • We recommend wearing closed toed, water resistant shoes. Insect repellent and sunscreen are always a good idea, too. We recommend wearing long pants and long sleeves if you are sensitive to bugs and grass.

  • Yes, of course! You can find availability and make a reservation on Resy. Reservations are available on a 30 day rolling basis. Walk-in availability is quite limited. Seating is not guaranteed without a dining reservation.

  • Our fruit is not USDA Certified Organic, but we do use all natural growing practices.
