It’s tulip-picking time! Tulip season is short, so if picking flowers is on your spring bucket list, or you just want a killer spring selfie, head out ASAP to one of these local you-pick flower farms.
🌷 S. E. Daugherty & Sons Farm
Get beautiful, fresh-picked tulips at this Bellevue farm, located at the intersection of Hwy. 70 S. and Charlotte Pike. It’s $5 to enter the fields, and $2 per stem. The farm is close to the end of its tulip-growing season, so make sure to check their Instagram before heading out.
💐 Liberty Grace Farms
This Columbia farm is currently open to the public every day of the week for tulip picking. It costs $16-19 a ticket, with five free tulips included. After that, tulips are $1.50 per stem. You’re welcome to bring a picnic, and there’s also a concession stand.
🧑🌾 Lucky Ladd Farms
This place is a wonderland for kids, with animal encounters (sloths!), pony rides, and farm-style amusement park attractions. They have the largest you-pick tulip farm in the Southeastern U.S., but they could run out of tulips soon. Tickets start at $12.
🐇 Little Creek Flowers
This family farm has Cookville’s longest-running produce stand. They just opened for tulip-picking, and on Saturday, March 28, they’re hosting a tulip festival, with a bunny trail and egg hunt, local vendors, and flower picking. Or visit on April 4 for their Tulips for a Cause event, which benefits Operation United Hope. Admission is $5, and tulips are $2.50 per stem.
🌸 Roberts Five Farm
Take a day trip to Roberts Five Farm in Sparta, just outside Cookeville, to find your perfect tulip bouquet. They just opened, so it’s a great time to go. Admission is $5, and tulips are $2.50 per stem, with a $1 bargain for weathered blooms. You might want to wear boots, or at least close-toed shoes.
