Description:
Porky Pastures presents a Farmer's Market, Petting Zoo and U-Pick Sunflowers on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
Join us on the farm for U-Pick Flowers, petting zoo, full farm stand with beef, pork, lamb and chicken available for purchase, sourdough from our friends at Rising Hills Bakehouse, woodworking and organically grown veggies.
The hill is now bursting with blooms, both the sunflowers and zinnias are putting on a stunning display! This week, the sunflowers will be in full bloom, joining the zinnias for a vibrant and colorful U-Pick experience. Take a leisurely stroll through the flowers, snip your own bouquet, and soak in the beauty. We’ll also have a small supply of pre-cut sunflowers from our kitchen garden available for purchase at the flower station.
The Petting Zoo is free and cups of food will be available to purchase for a small fee for a feeding experience.
The Farm Stand will be stocked with pharma-free meat including beef, pork, chicken, and lamb all raised without meds, GMOs, soy or corn. Skincare and home goods will also be available for purchase including tallow balms, sunblock, lard soaps and more.
Our friends Rising Hills Bakehouse will be onsite with fresh sourdough bread and desserts made from organic, locally milled grains. Shop handcrafted cutting boards, charcuterie boards, and serving trays in a variety of woods, shapes, and sizes all made by Tom Wolfrum. Our neighbors Ms. Brenda’s Local Produce are bringing stunning, organically grown produce to sell.
Admission is free.
Please park along the farm side of the road. Signs will guide you. There’s plenty of space, but it’s a small country road, so drive slowly and don’t pull too far into the grass because there’s a ditch.
No dogs or pets are allowed. This is a hard rule, no exceptions. And, there are no public bathrooms.
Porky Pastures is located at 6892 Bleak Ridge Road in Hiwassee, VA.
