Best Day Trip To Just Stand In A Field Full Of Flowers

Wildseed Farms

When the peach crop in Fredericksburg failed this year, it seemed as if those summer afternoon drives into the country would be fruitless. What was the purpose of a road trip through the hills of Texas without a place to stop and pick peaches? Luckily, however, Wildseed Farms saved the summer. With more than 200 acres in prime wildflower country, Wildseed Farms offers walking trails for immersing yourself in flora and fields for picking your own bouquets, making the place a very fulfilling alternative to our much beloved orchards. There are few things in life that feel as grand as standing in a field full of soft pink daisies while watching the clouds roll in across the Texas plains. The only problem is, you can't eat the flowers on the drive back home.
