While we hate to say goodbye to Strawberry Season, Southern Belle Farm is currently all about fresh, U-pick Peaches, Blackberries, Blueberries, and Flowers! We hope everyone has been enjoying our Summer Season so far. There is still plenty of time to come out and enjoy the farm and fill up your buckets with the sweetest fruits in the south. Our peaches, in particular, have ripened to perfection, and we have several more weeks of picking ahead of us.
