We grow blueberries, blackberries, peaches, Champanel grapes, and a variety of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Visit our What's Growing page for a full breakdown of each crop and its seasonal availability window.

We are not certified organic. We do not feel the need to have a third party verify the fact we follow organic growing practices. In fact, Lively Grove Farms goes above and beyond what is outlined in the USDA organic standards.
Q: Do you spray your berries?
Please check our Farming Practices page for more information.

Q: Do you offer hayrides, pony rides, petting animals, etc.?
That sounds like fun! However, we strive to provide a serene farm experience where people can connect with nature.

Though we love our furry pets, animals are not allowed on the farm, with the exception of service animals. This rule exists to keep our berry fields clean and safe for consumption.
