What is the phone number for Berry Hill
Farm?
803-957-4203
Please don’t call late at night and please don’t call
on Sundays!
What hours is the farm open?
Once we open for the season (see
UPDATE link on home page), our hours are:
Monday thru
Friday 7:30 AM – 1 PM; re-open again at 6 PM and
pick until
dark to catch the cool of the evening.
Saturday – all day,
starting at 7:30 AM
Closed Sundays
How late does the season run?
There is no set date, but we
generally go into the first or second week of August. Again, see UPDATE near the end of the season.
Any suggestions for appropriate clothing?
Though ants are not a big problem,
it is still a good idea to wear shoes and socks rather than sandals. We cannot treat for ants in the fields –
the poison could be drawn up through the roots of the plant into the
berries. Generally, mosquitoes are a
very minimal problem, but if they like you, bring bug repellent.
Are children welcome?
Oh, yes! This is an old home place with a very old
barn and it is good for children to have the experience to pick the fruit and
see what a farm is all about. Our one
big rule, especially for boys, is NO BERRY WARS! That is a waste of perfectly good
fruit.
Are groups welcome?
Of course! Really no need to give
me advance notice unless you want to check on the status of the berries.
