Agritourism & Farm Experiences in Tuscaloosa, AL

Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa Barnyard is a USDA-licensed petting zoo on Turner Bridge Road that runs swim lessons, horseback riding, tractor rides and summer camps alongside its animal enclosures. The farm also books birthday parties and field trips, and brings a mobile version of the barnyard to schools and events. Visitors wash their hands at stations set up around the property, and reviewers describe the animal stalls as clean and well kept.

Northport

Flatwoods Pumpkin Patch is a church-run fall stand on Highway 82 in Northport, operated by Flatwoods Baptist Church. 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

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

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.

Buhl

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

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

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

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

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

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.
