McBride Thorny Thicket.
The opportunity to taste fresh fruits has attracted countries as distant as Russia. Brigham Young University has become a beloved destination for young students and families. McBride and Wayne Joyce have been planting blackberries on their farm for a decade, making it a favorite spot. Instead of putting them directly into their mouths, the most challenging part of picking at Patch Briar McBride is putting them in a bucket or pail.
To gather the blackberries, you will be given a pail and a cord to fasten around your waist. In her childhood, Joyce McBride’s mother used to do the same when they went for harvesting. To bring the blackberries back home, customers are required to bring their own receptacles.
The Facebook page of McBride Briar Patch should be referred to for any updates. The blackberry harvest commenced in early August and is anticipated to continue until at least September.

Day Farms.
“Their farm,” as some customers and their own products refer to it, is a place where the Day family said that people who enjoy it can come to pick up their farm. This farm is ideal for those who want fresh vegetables, such as beans, tomatoes, and peppers, from large fields.
Driving can take you to the fields after stopping at a checkpoint to pick up boxes and a map. Mix and match the various types of products that customers have. There is a wide variety of products such as eggplants, tomatillos, and peppers.
On Saturdays and Fridays, the farm will be open for seasonal pumpkin rides. This typically occurs during the first week of October or the last week of September, when there may be frost. The products will be available until 10 A.M. On October 1st. Raspberries are also available, but they are sold separately.

Phelps Fruit & Berry Farm.
This 26-acre farm offers a wide range of self-picking options and provides visitors with the opportunity to experience being farmers, wandering through the trees and blackberry bushes in search of fruits and vegetables.
Currently in season are peaches, raspberries, blackberries, peppers, and tomatoes. Customers return and are encouraged to attract new visitors with the fresh flavor.
Other delicious products, including blueberries and walnuts, apricots, and cherries, are available on the farm during other seasons. Grapes should also be listed in September. Phelps suggested bringing a container with the top part cut off to collect their own milk while searching for blackberries, while visitors who want to pick peaches should use smaller bags or boxes supplied by the farm.
Those who plan to visit the farm can find directions on the Farm Berry & Phelps Facebook page. Since it will lead to another location, those visiting the farm must avoid using their GPS.
