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.
