Southeast Texas U-Pick Farms & More
Southeast Texas is an area that’s rich in agriculture as well as industry, and there’s no shortage of local farms who are always ready and waiting to welcome visitors! Whether the gate is always open, or they only open to public seasonally, there’s something for everyone when it comes to farm tourism in Southeast Texas.
U-Pick farms are a special favorite for our family. Even my confirmed indoor kid is a fan of blueberry picking! It’s worth doing at least once, for both the delicious locally grown produce as well as the experience!
