Tuscaloosa · Farmers Market

Run by the City of Tuscaloosa on the Black Warrior River Walk, the River Market pulls from a roster of more than 70 farmers and artisans, with 40 to 50 vendors showing up on a typical Saturday. It runs year-round on Saturdays, with an added Tuesday afternoon session in June and July. The building itself doubles as an event venue, so the market shares space with weddings and banquets on other days.

Alongside pumpkins, they sell gourds, hay bales, cornstalks, and mums for fall decorating. During the season the patch keeps long hours — Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday 1 to 4:45 p.m. — making it an easy stop for anyone decorating the porch for October.

Cottondale · Agritourism Farm

Tuscan Pointe Farm is on Rivervista Drive in Cottondale, part of Tuscaloosa County's river-bottom farmland along the Black Warrior River. No public details on what the farm grows or offers visitors are currently available — call ahead.

Coker · Agritourism Farm, U-Pick Farm

Lang's u-pick Blueberries opens its rows in Coker during blueberry season, typically a few weeks in early summer, and closes once the bushes are picked clean. The farm takes cash and check only and posts daily hours on Facebook rather than a fixed schedule, since picking time depends on the weather. Recent seasons have run short, so calling ahead before the drive out is worth it.

Moundville · Farmers Market

Moundville Farmers Market sits on Highway 69 in Hale County, a few miles from Moundville Archaeological Park's ancient earthwork mounds. Specific vendor lineup and current hours aren't well documented online, so it's worth calling ahead or checking the market's social listing before making a special trip.

Buhl · Agritourism Farm, Produce Farm

Leavelle Farms has grown u-pick blueberries in west Tuscaloosa County for more than 75 years, making it one of the longer-running family farms in the area. It's a straightforward operation — no corn maze or petting zoo, just blueberry rows open to pickers when the crop is in. Call ahead to check what's ripe.

Gordo · Agritourism Farm

Ingram Farms is listed on Plowman Road in Gordo, a small Pickens County community in west Alabama. No website, product list, or contact details are published online.

West Blocton · Agritourism Farm, Pumpkin Patch

Griffin Farms started as a dairy in 1961, when Pat and Carolyn Griffin ran 300 head of cattle under the name The Lazy G. The dairy closed in 1997, and in 2013 Barry Griffin and his son Brandon rebuilt the property into a fall attraction with a pumpkin patch, corn maze, hay mountain, petting zoo, and zipline, hand-building most of the structures themselves. It runs weekends throughout October.

Vance · Agritourism Farm

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.

Woodstock · Agritourism Farm, U-Pick Farm

K&D U-Pick Blueberries is a seasonal blueberry farm on Townsend Road in Woodstock. Picking opens when the crop comes in, and the farm has posted before about cold snaps damaging the berries, so the season can shift or shrink year to year. Best to check their Facebook page for the current week's picking status before heading out.

Knoxville · Agritourism Farm, Produce Farm

Bessemer · Agritourism Farm

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.
