Question 9

Is your farm family-friendly? Are pets allowed?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely—Specklebelly Farms is a family-friendly destination! We love seeing kids explore the fields, learn where their food comes from, and enjoy the outdoors.

For the safety of all guests and our crops, pets are not allowed in the picking fields.

However, service animals are always welcome, and well-behaved pets may stay under the sales barn with a pet parent supervising.
Please plan ahead—Texas spring and summer heat can be dangerous, so we do not recommend leaving pets in the car.

Question 11

Is the farm accessible for people with mobility issues?

Accepted Answer

We do our best to make Specklebelly Farms as accessible as possible.

Our picking areas are wheelchair accessible, but please note that the ground is primarily grass and dirt, which can be uneven, rocky, or muddy depending on the weather. We recommend using caution and planning accordingly.

For those who prefer not to walk the fields, we also offer a selection of pre-picked produce during the season.

At this time, restrooms are not ADA-compliant, but we’re working toward improving accessibility as we grow.
