Oakhurst Farm

Oakhurst Farm sits on the Alabama line at West Point, on ground the same family has worked for over a hundred years, and it is a Georgia Grown producer. It publishes its prices, which is rarer in this state than it should be.

What You Can Pick

• Blueberries - $4 a pound to pick yourself, or $5 a pound if the farm picks them for you
• Blackberries - early summer, and they sell out
• Strawberries - spring
• Pumpkins - from late September

Berry picking runs Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, 9am to noon. Three mornings a week and nothing else, so the day matters as much as the season.

What Else is Available

From September 27 to October 31 the farm turns over to Fall Daze:

• Four-acre corn maze and a separate kiddie maze
• Interactive hayride through the large animal corral
• Petting zoo, barrel train, lookout tower
• Live duck slide, rubber duck races, hay jump and double tube slides

Good to Know

Field trips, church groups and special events are welcome, and there is an eight thousand square foot venue on the same ground.

The farm runs two websites. The weddings one never mentions picking at all, and searching the farm's name often lands you there first, so go to the produce site or ring 706-615-2081.

Pro tip: a nine-to-noon window three days a week means the fruit gets picked over fast. Tuesday morning after a weekend closure is the best of the three.
