Ripe for the Picking

In need of something sweet to ripen sweltering summer days?
Pack up the family and head to
Faircloth Farm in Chapel Hill
for an afternoon of picking blueberries.


Farm Owner Nevida Faircloth has been selling her homegrown blueberries since the 1980s. The farm is open to the public during blueberry season, which typically runs from mid-July to mid-August. The farm typically receives more than 150 visitors coming to pick their own blueberries during the season.

The cost is calculated by a per-pound fee.
Faircloth advises calling (919) 967-2131
to ensure the berries are ripe for picking.
Faircloth Farm is located at 577 Gilmore Road in Chapel Hill.
