Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Lafayette, LA

Carencro

BluesBerry Fields grows its blueberries organically and opens the rows to pickers just two days a week — Wednesdays and Sundays, roughly 5 to 7:30 p.m. — rather than running as an all-week operation. Entry is free; berries run about $7 a pound with no limit on how much you carry out.

Bonne Terre Farm Stay is in Breaux Bridge, the official Crawfish Capital of the World in St. Martin Parish. The French name means "good earth," a fit for Acadiana's Cajun farming country, and a farm stay here means overnight lodging on working land instead of a hotel room.

Breaux Bridge

D&D Berry Farm keeps it simple — blackberries, picked by hand, on Doyle Melancon Road outside Breaux Bridge. There's no corn maze or gift shop attached, just a berry patch that opens when the fruit is ready. Call ahead to check on picking conditions before a visit.

Church point

ICCR Dairy Farm operates near Church Point, in Acadia Parish's Cajun prairie dairy country. Herd size, products, hours, and contact information aren't published online, so call ahead before visiting.

New Iberia

Daniel and Anna's Orchard runs a small on-farm market on Freetown Road outside New Iberia, cash-only, with whatever's come off the trees that week set out for sale. It's a modest operation — no event calendar, no gift shop, just an orchard family selling direct from the property.

New Iberia

Eddie Romero's Orchard grows an unusually wide mix for one Louisiana farm — apples, peaches, pears, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, grapes, blackberries, tomatoes, and pawpaws, plus fresh eggs from the farm's own hens. Picking is by appointment, with a farm stand and market on-site for anyone who'd rather not pick their own. Guided tours are available, and the owner speaks French, a nod to the Acadiana parish it sits in.

New Iberia

Daniel & Anna's Orchard sits in Iberia Parish, Acadiana country known for sugarcane fields and the citrus orchards that line the bayous around New Iberia. Family orchards in this stretch of south Louisiana typically open to the public once satsumas and other citrus ripen in the fall.

Opelousas

Bois de Figue Orchard grows figs without pesticides on Richard Road outside Opelousas, open for picking roughly end of June through mid-July when the fruit ripens. Pick your own for $8 a gallon or buy figs already picked; the farm's own web address, iwantfigs.com, doubles as its unofficial slogan.

Church Point

Kaplan

Four Oaks Farm is in Kaplan, in Vermilion Parish's rice and crawfish country on the Cajun prairie. Specifics on what the farm grows or offers aren't published online, so call ahead to confirm before visiting.

Opelousas

This u-pick farm on Highway 357 outside Opelousas changed hands recently — the McCart family, who ran it for years, sold the property to new owners now operating it as Bien Aime Farm. The new operators say they're expanding it well beyond what the place used to offer.
