Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings, but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to all requests.  They don't. Don't support the scammers!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know!   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

What's in season in November 2023, and other timely information:

Notes for November 2023: Summer is almost over and that means apples are here (see this new page for Apple Orchards in your area!), and except in northern areas, peaches and blueberries are finished.

Since 2002, I've been updating the information every day but Christmas; so if you see anything wrong or outdated, please write me!

• Floral Acres - Uses natural growing practices, Blueberries,
  RR 1 Box 26E, French Creek, WV 26218. Phone: 304-924-6462. Email: dinah@floralacres.com. Open: Call for hours and availability; the season for picking lasts from the second week of June 'til the first week of August, depending on how cold the Spring was, and whether we received a late frost or not.. Directions: See their website for directions. Payment: Cash, only. Our focus now at Floral Acres is our U-Pick blueberry operation. We currently (2010) charge $1/pint. Because we have so many bushes, with lots of different varieties; the season is long. These blueberries are organic, as the only thing we do to them is fertilize the ground, and mow the grass. We furnish buckets for picking and ice water - but you might want to bring your own straw hat for those hot summer days.
  Comments from a visitor on July 06, 2010: "The owner is very sweet and helpful, they have been in business for a while and know what they are doing. However, you are better off to show up earlier in the season rather than later. We came one year in mid August, and while we did manage to pick berries, there were much less than when we go in July. They raise all of their blueberries with organic practices. They used to do daylilies but are getting out of those and are more focused on blueberries. The farm is located less than a mile from the French Creek Game Farm, so it could be made into a good family outing of picking blueberries and visiting the game farm"
