U-Pick Collards OPEN, 7AM - 5PM

 U-Pick Collards OPEN 7 Days a Week, 7AM - 5PM. We've had a fantastic opening week - thank you! As you can see in the pictures, most folks pick the collards that are in the first half of the first few rows. For a better selection of larger collards, walk past that section a little farther and down the rows. That's where the biggest ones are 🙂 We have hand sanitizer, cutting tools, and bags available, but you're welcome to bring your own. Also, we have 30 more boxes of sweet potatoes available. They're in 40 lb. boxes for $30/box, while supplies last. The sweet potatoes are right near the gate where you park. Everything is sold on the honor system - we accept cash or checks only (made out to Browder's Fresh Pickins) - simply lift the flap on the black box that's just above the hand sanitizer and drop your money in. Have a fantastic weekend!

Open for Collards and Sweet Potatoes Saturday, Nov. 7th from 7AM - 5PM

Our u-pick collard patch will be OPEN this Saturday, November 7th from 7AM - 5PM.  The collards are $2/plant - simply cut off the entire plant at the base.  All collards are clean and grit free because they were grown on black plastic (same spot as the strawberries earlier this year).  We'll have hand sanitizer and some cutting tools and bags available.  You're welcome to bring your own cutting tools and/or bags, if you'd like.  It's on the honor system, which means you simply drop your cash/check made out to Browder's Fresh Pickins into the black box near the gate.  Starting on Saturday, Nov 7th, we'll be open for u-pick collards 7 days a week, 7AM - 5PM.  We're at 14489 Bethel Church Lane, Smithfield, VA 23430.

 
We also grew some sweet potatoes, but we didn't have a bumper crop.  A good friend of ours grew a ton of sweet potatoes, so we bought some from him to supplement our crop.  We'll have sweet potatoes for sale on Saturday, 40 pounds for $30.  We only have 50 boxes of potatoes available, first come, first served.  Place the sweet potato money in the same black box as the collards by the gate.
