U-PICK STRAWBERRY EXPERIENCE

Have you ever seen food grown without soil?

2026 UPDATE: In 2026, we do not anticipate opening the u-pick strawberry patch to guests due to limited quantities available from the crop loss which occurred during the January deep freeze. However, we have partnered again with another local farm just south of us to provide us with baskets of fresh picked berries. It's best to order berries online in advance to guarantee availability of picked strawberry baskets. You can schedule to pick up your berry basket Wednesday through Sunday from 9am-5pm. Any extra baskets remaining will be available in our Farm Store for walk-up shoppers and Farm Park guests while supplies last.

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.

Our you-pick strawberry patch is open exclusively to our Farm Park & Zoo guests and season pass members. Strawberries are not included with farm 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 our socials for current availability and picking conditions.
