A visitor writes on May 11, 2013: <negative> "We went by Warbington Farms today for some strawberry picking. We called ahead and the recording stated they were open and berry availability was 'good'. Picking at this farm is more expensive than most - $12 per gallon (they require you use their bucket and take it home with you) and the berries were not very sweet. It took us a long time to find enough berries to fill our bucket (two people picking one bucket total), as the vast majority of non-green berries were rotten already. Save your time and money and go somewhere else to pick (or just go to the grocery store - it's actually cheaper than this place!) - the berries were not the quality I expect from local produce."
Comments from a visitor on June 25, 2012: <negative> "Stay away from this farm, we've had the most awful experience there, I don't wanna waste my time describing similar stories to the other negative comments. Rudest customer service and as I found out they use a triple pesticide/herbiside on their berries WITHOUT any warning signs to their customers that the berries were just sprayed minuted ago (so do not eat their berries in the car, wait till you get home and wash them really good). We had to call our ped b/c my daughter ate some on the way home and developed a rash immediatly after eating the berries (no she is not allergic to strawberries, just to chemicals i guess) Go somewhere else"
Comments from a visitor on May 26, 2012: <positive> "Visited Warbington on 5/24/12 and had a great time! The staff was friendly, and it was a great experience. We were able to move around the patch and pick where ever we wanted. I'll definitely visit them again! Look forward to pumpkin season!! "
Comments from a visitor on May 24, 2012: <positive> "My young daughters and I went today to pick strawberries and had an amazing time. I was worried about going alone with two small children, but it was a breeze. The parking and ticket booth is close to the patches and everyone was extremely nice. We picked (and my girls sampled, which is against the rules, but no one seemed to mind). It was overcrowded and we were allowed to pick all over, not just on one row. The berries were a little on the small size, but very sweet. Overall, we had an excellent time!"
Comments from a visitor on May 21, 2012: <negative> "Hi, I visited Warbington Farms over the weekend. We had a horrible, horrible time. Please post this on your site so that others do not have to experience what we did at the farm. Don't go here!!! This was our first time to Warbington Farms to pick strawberries. My family was excited because Warbington Farms was much closer to our house than the other farms we have visited in the past few years. I was carrying a tote bag with bottles of water and the kids' sunglasses. While I was picking, a female worker walked over to me and claimed that "security" saw me put berries in my bag. I opened my bag and showed her that there were no berries. She applologized, but I was upset and was not enjoying my experience. I decided to take the kids to the car while my husband finished picking the berries. As I walked past the front gate, the guy at the front gate asked how picking was. I told him that his workers were accusing me of stealing berries. I offered to show him that there were no berries in my bag and he claimed I had dumped them out in the field. I was appalled when he said that he was not going to call the police. I told my husband about things once he finshed picking our second basket and returned to the car. He went back to the gate to lodge the complaint. Shortly after, the guy and my husband came to the car to inspect my bag for berry stains. After finding no stains, he asked if we were using another bag. Throughout this whole ordeal, my two little kids were right next me, watching and hearing every word. What was supposed to be a wonderful, positive experience for my kids turned out to be horrible and negative one. "
Comments from a visitor on May 14, 2012: <positive> "I love this place! I took the kids last year for a field trip and we have made a point to go back several times since. The strawberries are sooo good! And the people have always been helpful and kind. In fact, when the bucket wasn't full once, they didn't charge me full price. This is a perfect place for a great strawberry pick or if you are in a hurry, let them pick the berries for you. For my kids and me, this is a must-do!"
Comments from a visitor on April 28, 2012: <negative> "I visited this farm today and was appalled at the lack of customer service and lack of professionalism. It was the first time I have been to a strawberry farm and was unsure if I should bring my own bucket or how it works. After rude comments under her breath, the lady at the stand made direct rude comments about the fact I brought my own bucket and proceeded to tell me that I could only use their bucket and fill it for $12. Okay, that is fine. But then, she said it was one bucket only allowed for EACH GROUP/FAMILY. This means that my friend and I drove a long way to split one 1 gallon bucket of berries??? As my friend put our own buckets back in the truck, I stood a few feet away to wait. I then hear the lady make additional rude comments about my friend and I to her coworker. I simply walked away and we left without picking any fruit. I understand if they are limiting picking amounts so each family may have a chance to pick, but I simply cannot understand or be okay with the lack of southern hospitality and unjustifiable rude attitudes. Thanks Warbington Farms for ruining my first fresh berry picking experience. We will not return or recommend this place to anyone. "

Comments from a visitor on June 28, 2012: "A previous person wrote that they do not spray their blueberries, but they just said they sprayed their bushes three weeks ago. "
Comments from a visitor on July 22, 2011: "I just returned from my 2nd time picking blueberries this summer at this farm. There are lots of blueberry bushes and the rows are kept very clean so that it's easy picking. They do not spray anything on their bushes. $10/gallon bucket. Bring your own containers to transfer. I also picked some tomatoes today. This is a hidden gem... my friend and I love this farm... friendly, helpful owners."
Comments from a visitor on August 14, 2010: Just spoke with the owner by phone on the morning of 8/14/10. She says they still have apples, muscadines ($6/gal), and blueberries ($8/gal). There is a note on the website saying that they only have blueberries, but that is incorrect. She says they are out of figs."
Comments from a visitor on August 07, 2010: "I called them today (8/7/10) and was told the only thing left is blueberries. Figs and other fruits are gone. " -

Comments from a visitor on July 16, 2012: "I've been picking blueberries every summer with my kids for over 10 years, and our experience at Mr.Mark Ransbotham's blueberry farm was the best picking we have ever done here in Georgia. Our usual farms were either closed or our of berries, so I called Cool Springs before heading out to Gainesville. Mr. Ransbotham was so kind and informative on the farm that I was sure I had found a hidden jem. The drive and the farm are beautiful. We walked into the office where Mr. Ransbotham told us about where to pick the berries and gave us harnesses that held our buckets as we picked. The kids were hopeful and excited to see the field where we would be enjoying our morning. I was so very impressed that the owner walked us out to the section and kindly told us that if we couldn't find enough berries then we could go to his other field. The blueberry bushes are young and approximately 3 feet tall and just loaded with gorgeous blueberries. The kids loved how they were spaced and how nicely they were spaced. Our favorite part was the fact that several of the bushes were in the shade and we could either sit on the ground or use one of the orange buckets to sit on as we picked. When it was time to pay for our berries (only $10 for a bucket) Mr. Ransbotham told us all about the different varieties that we picked. In the fall and spring you can purchase blueberry bushes which is a wonderful service. In addition to blueberries, the farm offers cold drinks to make the travel home a little easier. We will definitely be back, and I strongly recommend this blueberry as perfect for families of all ages. I truly wish I had known about this little piece of paradise before now!" - Elizabeth Smith - blackberries, figs, scuppernongs, muscadines

Comments from a visitor on July 07, 2010: "The best I've been
to. The hour drive is quite long but well worth it. There are several farms
closer, but none match the quality. They water the plants two hours every
day, and the health of the plants shows it. The blueberries are the largest
I've seen, many the size of small grapes. The bushes are absolutely loaded.
They cut them back every year so that the plants don't get too tall to pick
them easily. And in the mornings, there is some shade, which is really nice
when the weather is hot. And at $7 a gallon, very good priced."

strawberries!"
Comments from a visitor on May 28, 2011:
"This farm is in Henry County GA, just a short drive from our home. Today
was our first visit to any pick-your-own farm. This farm is incredible. We
picked blackberries and strawberries. We didn't know what these berries
tasted like until today. They are 1000 times better than any we've ever
eaten in our 50+ years. We will never buy berries from a store again. The
staff was very helpful and friendly. The goats, horses, cows and a peacock
rounded out a perfect morning." -

believe 2010's price was $8/gallon PYO and there are already picked
available as well. There is a port-a-john available and cold water on hand.
Strollers and wagons are easy to navigate and I'm guessing wheelchairs
would be okay as well. Containers are provided for picking and plastic bags
are on hand to take your produce home. I drive by every day (May 2011) and
it looks like they'll have a great crop again this year. I can't help but

Comments from a visitor on
July 18, 2010: "My wife and I were celebrating her birthday today, July
18th 2010, and she wanted to go to a peach farm as well as a blueberry farm.
we checked all over the internet and found several within 75 miles of
Suwanee,Ga. After checking out several of the farms and the comments left by
customers we were concerned that we might go to a farm where the
owners/managers would not have good customer service, or the farm might be
in need of some lawn, poison ivy maintenance. Boy, were we surprised when we
arrived at Buffalo Creek Berry Farm. The farm was in very good condition.
The peach trees were in excellent condition and the blueberry bushes had
been properly trimmed for the maximum output of berries as well as no poison
ivy, and no tall grass on the farm. You could tell that the owners really
cared about their farm as well as you, their customer. This farm is the best
hidden secret this side of Georgia. Always call first, but you will not be
disappointed with their peaches, blueberries or their true hospitality. "

Comments from a visitor on June
27, 2010: "My family went to pick blueberries at Thom's Trees in Orchard
Hill, Georgia last night. It was great to find a site that had evening hours
so that the whole family could participate. The site was lovely and well
maintained. There were loads of blueberries and they were of excellent
quality. The owners were very helpful and kind. I am planning to go back
really soon. I truly recommend this farm. "
Comments from a visitor on May 23, 2010: "As a first time
blueberry picker last year (2009), I found this blueberry farm to be a
friendly, fun place to pick. I had such a great experience the first time in
June that I went back later in the season to pick again in late July. The
berries were the largest Ive ever seen with several varieties growing. I
can vouch for their sweetness, Yum! I look forward to the 2010 picking
season!"
Comments from a visitor on July 26, 2008: "Great blueberry pickin'! Tim is
super nice and helped the novice become expert pickers. We will make this a
summer tradition. Kudos on the website, so helpful and chock full of great
info!"
Comments from a visitor on August 11, 2008: "They have restrooms, use no
pesticides, and are open usually June to August.. I have enjoyed Thoms
Trees’ blueberry farm very much this year. I have been numerous times & it
is always a nice, relaxing experience. The grounds are beautiful & the
owners are very friendly. Tim has helped me fill my bucket up a few times

Hard Labor Creek State Park, located adjacent to the farm, has golf, swimming, camping, and many other recreational
activities. The park also has cabins. One visitor wrote to
pickyourown.org:
"Hard Labor Creek Blueberry Farm is a wonderful
farm and I really don't believe that I will ever go to any other. I have
grown blueberries before in my home garden, so I really appreciated the
fact that they listed the varieties available at their farm. Once there it
was a totally pleasant experience. The rows were mowed neatly down and in
between- That made so there were a lot less bugs and especially many less
ant hills to potentially step into. There were virtually no mosquitoes-and
the owner said he believed that was due to the fact that they have a lot
of purple martins (since they put up purple martin houses!) They also
provided buckets and plastic bags. It was just a real nice experience.
There were at least 20 cars and people were not running into each other in
the rows--blueberries were beyond plentiful. Children were running up and
down the rows squealing with delight. It was a really nice place. Should I
say really again? They should get an A***, plus the husband/wife team were
very nice, sincere people."

They water the plants two hours every day, and the health of the plants shows it. The blueberries are the largest I've seen, many the size of small grapes. The bushes are absolutely loaded. They cut them back every year so that the plants don't get too tall to pick them easily. And in the mornings, there is some shade, which is really nice when the weather is hot. And at $7 a gallon, very good priced."

We picked blackberries and strawberries. We didn't know what these berries tasted like until today. They are 1000 times better than any we've ever eaten in our 50+ years. We will never buy berries from a store again. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The goats, horses, cows and a peacock rounded out a perfect morning."

I've picked there several years in a row and know the owners personally. I believe 2010's price was $8/gallon PYO and there are already picked available as well. There is a port-a-john available and cold water on hand. Strollers and wagons are easy to navigate and I'm guessing wheelchairs would be okay as well. Containers are provided for picking and plastic bags are on hand to take your produce home. I drive by every day (May 2011) and it looks like they'll have a great crop again this year. I can't help but drool thinking about blueberry jam again this summer!"

Comments from a visitor on July 18, 2010: "My wife and I were celebrating her birthday today, July 18th 2010, and she wanted to go to a peach farm as well as a blueberry farm. we checked all over the internet and found several within 75 miles of Suwanee,Ga. After checking out several of the farms and the comments left by customers we were concerned that we might go to a farm where the owners/managers would not have good customer service, or the farm might be in need of some lawn, poison ivy maintenance. Boy, were we surprised when we arrived at Buffalo Creek Berry Farm. The farm was in very good condition. The peach trees were in excellent condition and the blueberry bushes had been properly trimmed for the maximum output of berries as well as no poison ivy, and no tall grass on the farm. You could tell that the owners really cared about their farm as well as you, their customer. This farm is the best hidden secret this side of Georgia. Always call first, but you will not be disappointed with their peaches, blueberries or their true hospitality. "

Other information: Don't miss lunch at the fabulous (and famous) Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle. Hard Labor Creek State Park, located adjacent to the farm, has golf, swimming, camping, and many other recreational activities. The park also has cabins. One visitor wrote to pickyourown.org:
"Hard Labor Creek Blueberry Farm is a wonderful farm and I really don't believe that I will ever go to any other. I have grown blueberries before in my home garden, so I really appreciated the fact that they listed the varieties available at their farm. Once there it was a totally pleasant experience. The rows were mowed neatly down and in between- That made so there were a lot less bugs and especially many less ant hills to potentially step into. There were virtually no mosquitoes-and the owner said he believed that was due to the fact that they have a lot of purple martins (since they put up purple martin houses!) They also provided buckets and plastic bags. It was just a real nice experience.
