The family farm sells blueberries fresh from the bush. Like most berry farms, Henderson Blueberry Farm also offers 'pick-your-own berries. The farm started in 1991 when Bob Henderson decided to plant blueberries in the property. Then, in 1995, he decided to sell them. With a steady stream of people, friends, and word of mouth, the farm became victorious over the years. In 2007, the founder of the farm passed away. Today, Bob's Son cares for the farm and continues his father's legacy. He continues to plan and sell blueberries that are free from pesticides and chemicals. They have three different kinds of berries: Tif blue, Brightwell, and Premier. Be sure to mark your calendar for a visit between early June to mid-July to get the freshest berries!

Cedar Ridge Egg Farm claims that the eggs they sell come from free-range hens that are stress-free. Judging by the farm's growing customer base who are very loyal and supportive to this small family farm in North East Texas, I'd say the eggs must be fresh and great. It is easy to lose customers who end up with bad egg(s) or poor-quality eggs and refuse to buy from a farm again.  That hasn't been a concern for Cedar Ridge Egg Farm. You can find them in a local farmers market and when you do, make sure you have extra money for surprise purchases like jams and pickles. Cedar Ridge Egg Farm sells these too, and more!
