Birmingham

U N C O M M O N R O O T S Downtown Birmingham is a far cry from farmland. We see it a little differently. Take one empty warehouse, add a little innovation, a lot of determination, and proven science, and before you know it, you've got a compact, green farm. We're using modern hydroponic vertical farming techniques to grow fresh greens and herbs in an urban landscape, on a minimal footprint, and with 90% less water than traditional agriculture. ​ First incorporated in 1993 by our founder's grand

Six generations have grown up raising cattle on Watterson Ranch land since 1852, eating beef that was once a luxury reserved for family — now Bastrop County's voted Best Local Cattle Producer shares it, when supply allows. The honest formula: fresh summer grass, home-grown winter hay, free-choice minerals, clean water, and never a feedlot, grain ration, hormone, or antibiotic — worth the near-doubled production time.

Birmingham

Riverchase United Methodist Market runs out of the church's grounds on Old Montgomery Highway on Thursdays during the growing season.

Hayden

Highway 16 in Hayden is the address for The Great Pumpkin Patch, in Blount County's rolling farmland north of Birmingham. No listing of fall season dates, hours, or admission was found — call ahead before making the drive.

Empire

Riders and hikers share the loops, which wind past the furnace ruins and Roupes Creek.

The farm grows cotton, corn, watermelons and soybeans year-round, then opens each October for a pumpkin patch and again after Thanksgiving for cut-your-own Christmas trees through Christmas Eve.

Hayden

Sleepy Hollow Blueberry Farm runs a family-operated u-pick season in Hayden, in Blount County's blueberry belt, typically from late May through July. Pricing and daily hours shift with the crop, so the farm's Facebook page functions as the de facto front desk during picking season. There's no listed phone number or website beyond that, which is common among the smaller blueberry patches scattered through this part of north Alabama.

Harpersville

Morgan Creek Vineyards is listed in Harpersville, a small Shelby County town along US 280 southeast of Birmingham. No verifiable website or listing confirms this Alabama vineyard's hours or offerings — a same-named vineyard found online is based in Minnesota and is a different business.

Springville

Mathews Manor is a full-service wedding and event venue on farm grounds in Springville, about 25 minutes from Birmingham. Three distinct spaces, Micah's Meadow, Grace Hall, and Rebecca's Garden, handle everything from ceremonies to receptions for up to 400 guests, with catering built in.

Mountain Meadow Farm grows strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries on a small organic operation outside Columbiana. Strawberries come in mid-April through May, with blueberries and blackberries following in early June through July, according to local u-pick guides.
