A visit to Blessington Farms located just outside of Houston is memorable for families and people of all ages. Their hydroponic gardens produce bushels of fresh fruit for visitors to pick and eat. Take a look at what makes Blessington Farms so unique!
Blessington Farms opened in 2011 as a passion project to give people a taste of the countryside life.
Blessington Farms is just a short drive away from Houston and home to acres of farmland.
Visitors can enjoy plenty of activities such as fishing, fossil digging, and hayrides.
Blessington Farms is family-friendly, with so much to see and do for people of all ages.
The berry fields are the main attractions at Blessington. In the summer, visitors are welcome to pick baskets of strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
Blessington Farms is unlike other berry farms. The berries at Blessington are grown hydroponically, meaning that the crops do not grow in the ground, but rather, in an indoor gardening system that is closely monitored for growth and sustainability.
Hydroponic gardens do not require soil and use way less water than food grown in the ground. This means that more delicious berries can be grown more often and with less space.
The berry picking season comes and goes quickly, so be sure to visit between May and July when the berries are at their ripest.
