Cullowhee

Thomas Berry Farm grows berries on Medalion Lane in Cullowhee, Jackson County, home of Western Carolina University in the far western mountains. High-elevation berry crops ripen later in summer than lowland farms. Reach out to confirm what's picking and when.

Queens Produce and Berry Farm grows berries and vegetables on Davidson River Road in Pisgah Forest, just outside Brevard in Transylvania County. The Davidson River corridor runs along the edge of Pisgah National Forest, a cool mountain setting that favors summer berries. Roadside and pick-your-own sales follow the harvest.

Whittier

Pick-your-own blueberries and other small fruit at the edge of Whittier, in the Smoky Mountain foothills near Cherokee and the Qualla Boundary. Directory listings put the season in summer, with berries, melons, and stone fruit among what the farm grows, plus on-farm pickup. Cool mountain nights tend to push local blueberry ripening a little later than in the Piedmont, so call before making the drive.
