We went inside, were given baskets and told that strawberries were all you can pick for $2 a pound. They sent us out into a giant field with the instructions: just pick the red ones.

We each filled our baskets in less than an hour and decided to call it quits.
After our strawberry picking, we were ready for lunch. We had planned on eating at a hotel nearby that claimed to hold a BBQ every Saturday. Unfortunately, after wandering around the deserted hotel (that claims to be haunted) and not finding anyone, we gave up.
We had seen signs on our way in for the Jack Daniels distillery. I had always been interested in taking a tour so we decided to drive over there for a tour and to hopefully find some food.
We didn't end up sticking around for the tour as we were worried about leaving our berries in a hot car for an hour and a half but we saw enough and drove over to the adorable downtown square in Lynchburg, TN.

It was fun to explore a little bit of Tennessee that we hadn't yet seen. I signed up to hear when the blueberries are ripe so I hope to make a return trip to Valley Home Farms.
