Pick Your Own Fruit at Matt Family Orchard

July 26, 2016 by

Transport yourself back to a simpler time, when fresh fruits came from trees instead of from your local juice bar. Matt Family Orchard is located just 30 minutes from the hum of city life, but it offers visitors a chance to pick their own fruit right from the orchard and spend the afternoon outdoors under the Texas sun.

While many orchards offer visitors the chance to pick apples, Matt Family Orchard allows you to pick a number of different fruits, from blackberries to figs to Asian pears. The picking tours cost just $3 per pound, and the schedule changes all year, depending on what’s in season. There’s also a nursery where visitors can purchase plants, and a small shop sells preserves and honey.

Whether you’re looking for a unique date spot or a place to take the kids, Matt Family Orchard is fun for everyone. Visit the website to learn more about tour times and harvest schedules.

Kleb Woods Nature Preserve: Explore Tomball Outdoors

November 17, 2015 by

Combining traditional Texas farm culture with the expansive wonder of a nature preserve, the Kleb Woods Nature Preserve is a truly unique way to experience Tomball and its surrounding areas. Today, the preserve spans over 133 acres full of trees, plants, and wildlife, and it still hosts the buildings and homes used by 20th-century Southeast Texas farmers.

The original farmhouse still stands next to a renovated Nature Center, which features ever-changing exhibits and an auditorium with educational nature programs. The Nature Center frequently offers lectures, history discussions, live bluegrass music, and language lessons. There are also trails spanning much of the grounds of the Kleb Woods Nature Preserve, which attract hikers and birdwatchers alike.

Kleb Woods Nature Preserve’s trails are open from 7 a.m. until dusk every day. The Nature Center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and a full list of classes and lectures is available on the preserve’s website.

Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail: A Tour for the Senses

May 27, 2014 by

You may have visited a winery before, but have you ever visited seven wineries all in one place? The Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail offers visitors the opportunity to do just that, all while enjoying the sights of scenic southeast Texas.

Each of the wineries offers the usual tours, grape stomps, wine tastings, and other activities that are perfect for wine aficionados; however, the Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail stands out from the crowd because it also hosts events a few times throughout the year that incorporate all seven wineries at once, creating a sort of block party among the wineries. The Harvest Trail event, for example, gives guests a pair of tastings at each winery, as well as a food pairing to go with them. Visitors can mingle with one another over the course of a weekend, all while enjoying the warm breezes of the Texas summer.
