Lively Grove Farms is a small, family-owned u-pick blueberry farm in Bolivia, North Carolina, rooted in nearly 200 years of combined farming heritage. Our family farm offers an authentic, welcoming experience grounded in tradition and community.
Owners Kelsey and Jeremy Smith established the farm in 2018 with the simple commitment to grow clean, pesticide-free crops using organic growing methods. As a pesticide-free local farm, we take pride in producing high-quality berries while caring for the land and environment. Visitors looking for an organically grown farm experience can enjoy fresh air, open fields, and responsibly grown produce.
Lively Grove Farms is a true multi-generational family operation, grown from the ground up with care. With a seasonal selection of u-pick blueberries, vegetables, herbs, and flowers, we invite you to spend the day harvesting straight from the vine.
During the season, guests can enjoy blueberry picking in a peaceful, family-friendly setting. As a pesticide-free, family-owned blueberry farm in North Carolina, we’re proud to offer a place where the community can connect with the land and taste the difference that chemical-free farming makes.
We are currently preparing for the 2026 u-pick blueberry season and anticipate opening in early June. Official hours and availability will be posted here as soon as they are confirmed. We grow blueberries, blackberries, peaches, grapes, and our first u-pick garden will offer veggies, herbs, and flowers.
