Specialties

At Lively Grove Farms, we offer something you won't find at a grocery store or a big commercial operation; a genuine, hands-on farm experience where you pick what you eat, straight from the field. We are a small, family-owned u-pick farm in Bolivia, North Carolina, founded in 2018 by Kelsey and Jeremy Smith. Together, we carry forward nearly 200 years of combined farming heritage from both Illinois and North Carolina. This isn't a side project, it's a multi-generational family operation where every person involved in daily farm life is family, from planting to harvest. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to pesticide-free, organic growing practices. Every crop we grow is tended with care for the land, the environment, and the families who visit us. You can pick with confidence knowing exactly how your food was grown. We grow strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, apples & grapes. In 2026 we introduced our u-pick garden, where guests can gather fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers all in one visit. Our location makes us a natural stop for anyone traveling between Wilmington, Leland, Oak Island, and Southport. We sit right along the route to the Brunswick County beaches-- close enough for a meaningful detour, memorable enough to plan your trip around. We don't just grow berries. We cultivate community. Come pick with us.

History

Established in 2018.

Lively Grove Farms was established in 2018 and we spent three years preparing the land and growing our crops before opening our gates to the public for our first u-pick season in 2021. From the beginning, our commitment has been the same: grow clean, pesticide-free crops using organic and sustainable practices, and create a place where families, neighbors, and visitors from across the region can connect with the land and with each other. We are proud to be part of the Bolivia and Brunswick County community, and every season we look forward to welcoming both familiar faces and first-time visitors to the farm.
