Scott’s Orchard is famous for their beautiful and delicious apples, and walking through the rows of trees is a must-do during fall in the Huntsville area. Don’t skip out on their peaches, cider and baked goods either!

At Isom’s Orchard, you’ll find new produce every time you visit, from cucumbers and okra to pumpkins and their most well-known crop: apples. For the ultimate crispness and sweetness, this orchard is the perfect pick for pie season.

3. Boyd Family Farm
Boyd Family Farms, located in Hazel Green, is actually a side job for owners Jared and Elaine, who work in tech in the Huntsville area. Their four-acre u-pick blueberry patch is no spray and is home to over 2,000 bushes bursting with fruit during summer. Plus, they have a petting zoo!

4. Brown Farms
I grew up going to Brown Farms each year, so I can attest to how delicious their strawberries are. Established in 1950, this farm has been passed down through generations and now has 15 acres of sweet strawberries!

5. Mullins Orchard
Mullins Orchard may be known for its flourishing blueberry patches, but the blackberries and muscadines are a must-taste. If you’ve never had muscadine jelly, you have to stop by and grab some.

7. JDM Family Farms
One of the lesser-known spots for pumpkin pickin’ is JDM Family Farms in New Hope. While their pumpkin patch closes for the year on October 29, this is definitely one you’ll want to put on the fall bucket list for 2024.

A classic fall spot that has stood the test of time, Tate Farms has pumpkin picking, hay rides, corn cribs, barnyard animals, a playground, concessions and two country stores.
BONUS: Frazier Christmas Tree Farm
This u-pick might not offer fresh produce, but it does have gorgeous Christmas trees. Just an hour from downtown Huntsville, Frazier Christmas Tree Farms is the spot to make holiday memories this year.
