Produce Farms near Oneonta, AL

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

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.

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.

Cullman

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.
