The patch holds five blueberry varieties across about an acre, planted in 2010 and opened to pickers in 2011 on a 15-acre property. It opens in mid-June and runs while the fruit holds. This is high country, so mornings stay cool even in summer picking season.

Sparta

A choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm on New Haven Road in Sparta, high in Alleghany County near the Virginia line. Fraser fir is the mountain crop here, sold fresh-cut through the holidays and often paired with wreaths and roping. The high, cold ground gives these firs their deep color and strong needle hold. Confirm opening weekends with the farm before driving up.
