It was about 78 degrees outside, felt like 82, and with some cloudiness it was tolerable though still definitely sweaty. I would recommend bringing hiking boots or rain boots as footwear, the grass was very dewy in the morning and our feet were soaked in water after tramping on the grass for about 15 minutes. The energy at the farm was infectious! Coming from inside the loop, we are starved for nature. The welcoming vibe and natural surroundings really made it feel like a wonderful nature getaway only 45 minutes from the bustling city. The workers were smiling and relaxed, and gave us friendly advice. You can bring your own buckets but they also provide a cute cardboard box that can hold 10 lbs of berries, for 3 dollars. I would say the box is quite worth it--it has a little wire hanger on the top so you can carry it with you as you pick and the farm people suggested bringing it back in the future. They said that others have returned with boxes from 2019! We had a bit of confusion initially with the parking. There is no drive way and you drive across grass to park at the small makeshift lot, marked by cones. Pay attention to road signs on Binford road however it is pretty straightforward and should not be a huge issue. The farm is not large and you can walk from the entrance to the last blackberry field in about 15 minutes. It is easy to search the fields for ripe berries. The workers suggested where to find berries as well. As of 6/7, I saw lots of red berries but only 2-3 flowers. Although the farm put up a notice saying they are picked out for tomorrow, I would say you could probably eke out a few more weekends of blackberries, seeing the abundance of red berries. The Berry quality is amazing!! The drupes are huge and juicy. Some berries are quite large. They are extremely sweet and delicious. We initially only planned on picking a pound or two, but picking is so much fun that we ended up with 4 lbs. with entry fee being 3 dollars, basket being 3 dollars, and the fruit being 7 dollars for a lb, I'd say it is a decent deal for a few hours of decompressing in nature plus high quality, juicy fruit that is incredibly fresh and sweet. We observed abundant insect life, including lots of interesting spiders and green heteropterans. I studied entomology in college and it felt like an insect field trip honestly. We will be back for fig and grape season!!! If you're looking for a fun way to get hands on and pull yourself away from your phone this summer, Neal's berry farm is the spot!

I had no idea that this farm existed until recently. The original owner's of Neal's Restaurant in Spring decided to get out of the restaurant business in 2009 and went into the farming business. The purpose of my visit was to pick blackberries. Farm admission is $2 for those 2 years and up. You have to pay $2 for a blackberry/fruit picking box, and you can bring it back the next time you visit. If you plan to cut vegetables and flowers, you'll need to bring your own scissors. Also don't forget to bring mosquito repellant. I barely saw any mosquitos but I got bitten. There were a lot of blackberries to pick, and they tasted good. You can even buy a plant to take home and grow yourself. You can cut as many zinnias that will fit in a solo cup for $3. I got kale, eggplant and zucchini too. I'm sad I missed peach season and fig season is coming up. There's a sink to wash your hand and a port-a-potty. The parking area was over grass, and it was organized. The people I encountered were friendly, but they are strict about closing time. The only reason why I didn't give this place an extra star was b/c there weren't activities like you would find at other farms and a picnic area (I saw tables so maybe it was closed off b/c of the pandemic.) Overall I had a great time and would highly recommend it.

Through our basket delivery service, you can order a variety of local produce, meats, baked goods, jams, salsas and more with no commitment.

Dedicated first and foremost to our customers, everything we provide is grown using the best organic practices available. Items that we do not grow or produce ourselves are sourced ONLY from local farmers, ranchers, and bakers. With our current food system being the massive "supply-web" that it is, most people have no clue as to where their food comes from, how old it is, or the methods in which it was produced. We want to bridge that gap and put power back in the hands of local farmers, ranchers and most importantly, you, the end consumer. Through education and forming a personal relationship with the local farmers, we can all help Bryan/College Station become a healthier, more sustainable community to live in.

This is the second year we've come here in May to pick blueberries and blackberries. One of the…read moreworkers said that blueberry season is really a short 4-6 weeks time frame while blackberries are most of the summer. This year 2025, the blueberries are sweet but on the smaller side. The blackberries were not as good as some of them are tart or even sour as some seem to start fermenting? However in 2023 the blackberries were soooo sweet and juicy that even my husband liked them and he usually doesn't like blackberries. Maybe this year just wasn't good for blackberries. :/ The busket (basket bucket) is $1.50 and berries are usually $8-10 per lb but they ran a Memorial Day weekend promo for $4 a lb. We filled up our busket about 2/3 of the way for 2.7 lbs or $11 in blackberries and blueberries! Cheaper than Costco! Although it is a 45 min drive for us. Giant sunflowers were available too but all the wildflowers were picked already. Things to bring: Busket - if you already have one! Sunscreen - protect your skin! Hat - it's sunny! Water and a refill of water - it's HOT and you easily drink through 2 water bottles, plus if you use any to clean your pickings. neck towel / fan - nice to have I would also consider looking for a parking spot in the shade, usually to the left by the Farm Funland. I also put up our cars sunshade which helps too. This time, my 4 yo said her car seat wasn't that hot (whereas she will usually complain if it is), so i think jt worked! We only spent about 1.5 hours though from 1030-12noon, as it was getting really hot and the kiddo was over it. Overall, fun experience and some good berries but do come prepared for the heat!

The Farmhouse is one of those wedding venues that understands the assignment visually--and then…read moreoccasionally forgets it practically. Let me explain. First impressions matter, and The Farmhouse absolutely nails them. The buildings are beautiful: sleek, simple, modern-farmhouse in the way Pinterest boards dream about at 2 a.m. The chapel in particular is a standout. It offers a genuinely scenic view--rolling landscape, open sky, the kind of backdrop that quietly does half the emotional labor during the ceremony. The property itself is well kept and clearly managed by people who care about how it looks and runs. You feel that. Now, let's talk about the animals. There are horses. There are donkeys. And there is manure. Lots of it. The scent drifts lovingly across the property like a reminder that yes, this is a farm. Personally, I didn't mind it--there's something grounding about the smell of livestock while two people pledge eternal love--but I did notice others reacting as though they had not RSVP'd for Eau de Pasture. Your mileage may vary. The chapel comfortably holds around 150-200 guests and works especially well for smaller, intimate weddings. However, intimacy comes at a cost: location. You'll be driving 30-45 minutes from any major city, and the last stretch feels like a trust exercise. GPS gives up. Cell service vanishes. There are no signs. You just...believe. This venue desperately needs signage in all directions for the final miles, unless the goal is to test the strength of modern relationships before guests even arrive. Staff-wise, the experience was mixed. Some team members were phenomenally kind and attentive, especially those serving food. Others stood around staring with the intensity of museum guards waiting for someone to touch the art. Not rude--just oddly observant. Speaking of food: it must be catered, and unfortunately, it was flat-out bad. Not "wedding bad." Not "it's fine, I'm hungry." Truly gross. Two people in my party were sick for two days afterward. That alone is something future couples should take very seriously when choosing vendors. The bar and overall hype? Meh. Overpromised, underwhelmed. Acoustics in the main reception area are another major issue. Sound bounces everywhere, turning music into vibration and conversation into a competitive sport. A little soundproofing would go a long way--both for music clarity and for letting toasts feel meaningful rather than shouted into the void. Lastly: the chairs. Uncomfortable. And notably unforgiving. I'm skinny and still noticed. Guests with any extra weight may find themselves counting minutes until they can stand again. Tables, however, were done well--credit where due. Final verdict: Beautiful setting, strong bones, but real logistical and comfort issues. With better signage, sound control, food oversight, and seating, this could be exceptional. As it stands: 3.5 stars.
