Southern Belle Farm, McDonough

I went blackberry picking here for the first time. It is a bit of a drive from Atlanta but would be a fun outing for the family. They have activities for kids and of course the kids can also help pick fruit too. Everyone at the farm was super nice and helpful. While walking over to the blackberry picking area and one of the guys working on the farm offered a ride as it was early - before the trolley started running. I picked a gallon of blackberries for $12. This is an excellent deal compared to supermarket prices. I recommend calling before taking the trip. They will let you know what fruit is available for picking that day. I also recommend going first thing in the morning. It gets crowded and there’s only so much ripe fruit each day. Plus it will get hot. Wear something you don’t mind getting dusty as it is a real farm. Also. Make sure your phone is charged 😊

I love this farm, I always go here for strawberry and peach picking. I enjoyed the farm here, just 35-40 minutes from Downtown ATLANTA. The place is cleaned and well maintained. The lovely peach orchard. Good place to get some photos too. I had a good time here !!
