Locust Grove Berry Farm - Jackson

Locust Grove Berry Farm, in Jackson, is a pick-your-own place for the freshest seasonal fruit. It is a beautiful piece of property, calm and quiet.

You'll see the sign from the road:Blackberries and blueberries are ripe for the picking in June, figs in July and Muscadines in August and September. (FYI, These pictures were taken in July.)

Lovely deep-colored figs below.
One view of the muscadine vines. The muscadine is a wild grape with a sweet, mild flavor used to make jelly, juice and wine. Some muscadines stay green while others deepen to a purple color when ripe.

A look at the muscadine vines that stretch across the field.

Get a closer look underneath the vines where the large muscadines are ripening under the mottled summer sunlight.

Locust Grove Berry Farm also has a field full of sunflowers. They looked like the July sun had gotten the best of them, though.
