Flower & Berry Picking in Texas: Final Thoughts

Clearly there’s no shortage of places to pick flowers and berries around Dallas-Fort Worth and across Texas! The biggest thing is making sure to plan ahead and arrive early enough, so you go when they’re ripe, but not over picked!

Now that you know all the U-pick farms in Texas, we want to remind you of a few things:

  • Most farms accept credit cards but take some cash with you just in case.
  • Pets are usually not allowed on farms because they pose a food safety hazard.
  • Always, always, always check social media to see if the farm is open.
  • Take comfortable shoes and something to protect yourself from the sun.
  • Avoid the long lines and get there early if you want to find full berry bushes!
  • Take a cooler to keep your pickings fresh!

Remember that, while not all farms have the same guidelines, these recommendations are standard and will give you an advantage against amateur pickers!

Happy picking!
