Farm dates, checked every season

Farms you can visit, with this year's dates

Most guides to pick-your-own farms are written once and left alone, so by the time you read them the dates belong to last season. Every listing here is checked with the farm itself, and shows the date it was checked.

One area is live so far. Rather than list every farm in Texas badly, this starts with a handful checked properly.

What comes next

The order is set by what's in season and where farms are dense enough to be worth a page of their own.

How the checking works

Each farm's own website, calendar and ticket pages are read in full, and the farm is contacted directly when those pages disagree with each other — which happens more often than you would hope.

Where a farm doesn't publish something, the listing says so rather than filling the gap with a plausible guess. A blank that admits it is worth more than a number nobody checked.

Found something out of date? Say so and it gets fixed.
