Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Birmingham, AL

Tarrant City

Bryant Vineyards is listed on Portland Street in Tarrant, an industrial suburb of Birmingham in Jefferson County. No working website or social page confirms which grapes are planted, tasting hours, or current status.

Birmingham

Leslie's Little Bit of Heaven is a small produce operation on West Cedar Street in Birmingham. Directory listings confirm it as an active produce and agritourism business, but they don't detail specific crops, hours, or how to reach the owners. A call ahead of any visit is the safest bet.

Fultondale

Nightmare at 3008 is a haunted-house attraction on Decatur Highway in Fultondale, built around long indoor and outdoor trails with fog, strobe lights, and live actors. The haunt bills itself as Alabama's top-rated attraction three years running and donates a share of proceeds to Children's of Alabama's childhood cancer research. Reach the operators at [email protected] or @NightmareAt3008 on Facebook and Instagram.

Judy Bee's Honey and Berry Farm is a u-pick blueberry and blackberry farm in Mount Olive run by local beekeepers, who also sell raw honey harvested on-site. It's a smaller, family-scale operation rather than a big commercial patch — call ahead before visiting, since the farm has had seasons where picking wasn't open to the public.

Trussville

Angelique Roses is a rose-growing property on South Chalkville Road in Trussville, just northeast of Birmingham. No website, hours, or plant list are published online; the name suggests a specialty rose nursery or cut-flower operation.

Alabaster

Shelby Crossings Bee Farm keeps hives on Bermuda Lake Drive in Alabaster, a Shelby County city south of Birmingham. The name points to honey as the product; no further details on varieties or sales are published online.

Alabaster

Central Alabama Honey & Apiary started as David Willis's hobby before growing into a network of hives spread across Shelby County. The Alabaster operation sells raw, unfiltered honey along with beeswax candles, lip balm and honey-oatmeal soap in stores around Birmingham. Willis also runs a swarm removal service, relocating unwanted honeybee colonies into hive boxes instead of exterminating them, with a stated 90-95% survival rate.

Bessemer

Pocahontas Produce, also known locally as McCalla Produce, sells fresh eggs, vegetables, and honey out of Bessemer, cash or check only. The stand's main produce window runs late June into early July, with u-pick blueberries added most weekends from June through the end of August. It's a Jefferson County operation that's stayed small and seasonal rather than expanding into a year-round market.

Sterrett

Smith Farms in Sterrett bills itself as home to the South's best smoked meat, cheese, and wine, alongside a u-pick blueberry patch priced at $3.50 a pound. It's open Wednesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday 1 to 7 p.m., closed Mondays. The Shelby County farm has built a following of more than 3,700 people on Facebook who track the smokehouse and picking schedule.

Bessemer

Charles Gamble's farm sits on Charles Hamilton Road in Bessemer, part of the Birmingham metro area in Jefferson County. No specific crops, products, or visiting hours are listed publicly.

Moody

Hubert Brand's farm sits on Carl Morgan Road in Moody, in St. Clair County on the eastern edge of the Birmingham metro. It's listed as an agritourism stop, but no website or social page turned up to confirm current crops or visiting hours. Call ahead before making the drive.

Wilsonville

Lyon Blueberry Farm grows blueberries in Wilsonville, a small Shelby County town along the Coosa River. No website or listing confirms current picking hours or pricing; smaller blueberry operations in this area generally open for a few weeks each summer and sell direct from the farm.

Pinson

Robert and Ada Strickland's farm sits on Emerald Lake Drive in Pinson, a Jefferson County community just north of Birmingham. No further public details on crops or visiting hours are available.

West Jefferson

Blueberry Hill Farm grows blueberries on Jackson Road in West Jefferson, a hill-country community in northern Jefferson County. Alabama's blueberry season generally runs June into July, though this farm's specific hours aren't posted publicly.

Warrior

Blackburn Farm sits on Blackburn Lane in Warrior, a small town on the Jefferson-Blount county line north of Birmingham — the family name shared by both farm and road. No specific crops or hours are listed publicly.

The Trails at Tannehill sit inside Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park, a 1,500-acre park built around Civil War-era iron furnaces near McCalla. Volunteers and professional builders have cut more than 16 miles of singletrack and doubletrack through pine and hardwood forest, including the Iron Road, Stagecoach Road and the crushed-stone Tannehill Tramway. Riders and hikers share the loops, which wind past the furnace ruins and Roupes Creek.

Columbiana

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. It's a Shelby County farm that keeps its footprint modest: no large retail operation, just seasonal picking tied to whatever's ripe. Call 205-260-3124 to check before driving out.

Harpersville

Old Baker Farm has been worked by the same family since 1902, when John Robert Baker bought the land his great-grandson Jerry still farms today. USDA featured it in a 2000 calendar of Century Farms. 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.

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

Bear Mountain Blueberry Farm sits just outside Clay's city limits in Springville and grows its blueberries without pesticides. The farm hands out buckets for picking and bags for the drive home, opening for a few weeks each summer starting around mid-June. It's cash only, and current hours are posted to Facebook rather than a fixed calendar, since ripening depends on the season's weather.

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.

Montevallo

Dry Valley Vineyard sits on Highway 89 outside Montevallo, in Shelby County, home to the University of Montevallo. No working website or social page confirms what's planted, tasting hours, or current status.

Dora

Payne's Orchard is in Dora, a Walker County town northwest of Birmingham with roots in the region's coal-mining history. No working website or social page confirms which fruit is grown or when the orchard opens for picking.

Pell City

Brown's Cut Flower Farm grows cut flowers in Pell City, a St. Clair County town on Logan Martin Lake east of Birmingham. No website or listing confirms which varieties are in season or how to buy direct — contact the farm for current offerings.

Odenville

Mae-berry Blueberry Farm is a small blueberry operation on Happy Hollow Road in Odenville. It keeps a lower profile than the bigger commercial u-pick farms in the area, with no posted website or standing hours — worth a call ahead to confirm the farm is picking before making the trip.

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. It's agritourism in the broadest sense: farmland repurposed for weddings rather than crops. Reach the venue at [email protected] or (205) 467-3935.

Vance

Critter Creek Farm & Wildlife Center in Vance ran as a petting farm where visitors fed animals, grilled hot dogs, played on a playground and took hay rides out to pick pumpkins. Recent visitor reports mark the property as closed, so this listing reflects the farm's past operation rather than a confirmed current business.

Cropwell

Wadsworth Blueberries is a fourth-generation, pick-your-own farm five miles south of Pell City, growing seven varieties of rabbiteye blueberries on land the family has worked since 1911. Alabama has recognized the farm as a Century and Heritage Farm. Pickers grab a container, head into the rows, and pay on the honor system, with the Appalachian foothills and Lake Logan Martin as the backdrop.
