U-PICK STRAWBERRY EXPERIENCE

Have you ever seen food grown without soil?

Farmer Ladd is excited to share a unique hands-on agricultural experience with our guests. The only of it's kind in Tennessee that is open to the public, our new vertical hydroponic growing system showcases modern agriculture practices at its best. The system uses solar energy and a special drip irrigation system to feed over 15,000 strawberry plants. This revolutionary form of growing provides a more Eco-friendly and sustainable path to production than traditional farming practices, as it only uses 1/10th the land space and up to 90% less water. Growing popularity in urban areas, we'll show you how hydroponics is changing how farmers feed the world while promoting responsible use and protection of our natural resources.

Each guest age two and older needs to purchase an admission ticket to visit the Farm and strawberry field. Strawberries are not included with admission but may be purchased separately.

IMPORTANT: Strawberry picking and availability is determined by weather, picking pressure, and other factors. Because of this, we cannot forecast ahead of time when the field picks out each day. Follow #tnstrawberrystatus for current availability and picking conditions.
