U-Pick 4 Others Blueberry Patch
The U-Pick 4 Others blueberry patch typically opens in early June. This is a great activity for families looking for something fun and free to do! You have the opportunity to pick fresh fruit for the client families we serve at Real Life Center and take 1/4 of what you pick home for yourself.
Start Date: 2020
Days: Mondays, Wednesday, and Saturday
Hours: 9 am – 11 am
Location: Across from the Real Life Center @ 975 Hwy 74 N, Tyrone, GA 30290
Important Reminders
- We are unable to provide public restrooms. It is a good idea to make sure all your little ones use the restroom before you come to the orchard.
- It is wise to bring a water bottle with you. We do not have drinking water available at the orchard.
- Although we work at keeping insects at bay, there may be ants and bees enjoying the orchard. Please use caution if you have any allergies to bites and stings; you are picking at your own risk.
- Please do not begin picking before 9:00 am.
