8/29/25 FIG SEASON UPDATE: Our orchard is slowing down dramatically. There will be a slow ripening over the next two weeks. As we see enough figs for you pick we will release limited appointments for you to book. Mark your calendars for next year! Fig picking will start the last week of July 2026 and is projected to peak during the 2nd and 3rd weeks of August 2026.
This has been an incredible fig year! We are currently planting 12 additional trees and expect them to be in production in two years by 2027 if all goes well. Stay tuned! You should consider planting fig trees too! We have trees for sale. Check out the Lowe's in Concord too! Last year I found a great selection of fig trees there.

FIG Picking Experience
CERTIFIED NATURALLY GROWN
We use organic farming practices here at McLawland Farms.
FIG PICKING PASS REQUIRED for this farmer guided experience
A Fig Patch Pass costs $8 and is good for one person ages 3+ to taste and pick figs at the farm.
Each member in your group will need a patch pass to enter the fig patch.
This unique experience allows you to meet the farmer, learn about the different varieties of figs we grow, and taste them! You'll get a quick tutorial with tips on picking the best fruit.
You Pick Fig Pricing: $8/lb
(For your reference, a one gallon bucket holds 4-5 lbs)
We'll weigh up your figs after you're done picking!
We provide buckets for picking. Our buckets are BPA free and reusable.
Please wear close-toed shoes with socks above the ankle for your safety and comfort while visiting the farm.
So much fun yesterday with our group picking figs. We love this social media post so much we had to share it here too!
Thanks for picking us!

"What an amazing and relaxing experience. I learned so much and didn't know there were so many types of figs with different taste. I learned how to determine when figs are ready to pick, how long figs can sit before preparing, and was even given a few recipes! Thank you Farmer Larry for the white glove service! I'll be back!"

These are the 4 fig varieties we currently have in production on our farm. Our main orchard contains 13 trees approximately nine years old as of 2025. We are in our 4th season of you pick figs. Our "mother fig tree" is a 13 year old brown turkey fig growing behind our farmhouse. We are excited to be planting more fig trees this year to expand the varieties we are growing. We have started propagating our fig trees and have select varieties for sale in our garden center and online.
That's me! Farmer Larry getting excited about figs.

We got a chance to visit McConnell's Farm in Hendersonville, NC this past Monday. Love what they are doing with figs. Be on the look out for their Fig Festival in September. I'm hoping to sneak away and attend!

Granny loved figs. I loved picking them! And eating her preserves of course. Now I love figs straight from the tree. So glad I planted our orchard seven years ago. And even more thrilled that we are expanding this year!
More recipes coming soon!
