Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Amite, LA

Amite

Loblolly U-Pick Blueberries grows six blueberry varieties across two manicured acres in Amite, roughly 1,200 bushes staggered to keep berries ripe from mid-May through mid-July. The farm provides shaded picnic areas for anyone who wants to make a morning of it. Opening day shifts slightly year to year with the weather, so checking the farm's Facebook page before driving out is worth the two minutes.

Amite

Ernie and Lynda run Homegrown Produce Farm in Amite, selling fresh, seasonal produce grown on their own land. There's no wholesale arm and nothing shipped in from elsewhere — just whatever's ripe that week, sold direct from the farm to whoever shows up. It's a small operation built around one straightforward promise: Louisiana grown, sold fresh, nothing dressed up about it.
