Alabama U-Pick Farms aren’t as far from Birmingham as you might think!
Birmingham is known for it’s crazy weather patterns, but I think it’s safe to finally say that winter has faded and cabin fever can officially be kicked! It’s time to taste the lemonade and smell the freshly cut grass… I have already started buying tank tops and flip flops, and any other shoe that lets the piggies breathe.
Here in Alabama, we have a wonderful moderate Spring season that you should enjoy to the fullest! Get the kids and get out! A fun and unique activity is to go to a you-pick-your-own farm. You get fresh air, the kids get a new activity that will not bore them, it can be educational, and it can yield some yummy foods for dinner that night! A lot of the farms aren’t open until June, but there are some that start in April with fresh strawberries, YUM! Strawberries have a very brief season; and they start in early April here in the South, if you can sneak away in the next few weeks, you’ll have a better selection for picking!

Alabama U-Pick Farms and Orchards
*Tip: It’s always best to call before you get in the car and drive all the way out there. A lot of these are small family run farms and sometimes things come up.
