(ADDED: June 20, 2018, Suggested by a visitor)A visitor writes on June 20, 2018: "I went to check it out to see if it would be a good place for my young grandchildren (4 and 6) and it is perfect for them! No pesticides are used so we can eat right off the bushes. Lots of high and low branches for all the age groups. The farmer keeps the grass mowed so there are no fire ants or snakes to deal with. Parking right next to where the bushes are so it isn't a long trek to get to the picking zone. $2 quart, btw. I thought I saw something saying $5 quart online but the reality is much more affordable. The blueberries are ready by June 2 said the farmer and by the end of the month are pretty well done. I'll take pics of the Muscadine picking when I head over there mid-August and let you know what I think about the vines. Thank you so much for your website!!! ."
