3 Pick-Your-Own Tulip Farms Around Dallas-Fort Worth

With spring just around the corner, flowers are on our mind. We all know to keep an eye out for bluebonnets, our gorgeous state flower, but have you thought about spring’s other favorite flower? Tulips are about to make their short-lived but glorious debut—and lucky for us here in North Texas, there are a few spots to find them.

You-Pick Tulip Farms in North Texas

Texas-Tulips

The drive up to this pick-your-own flower farm about an hour north of Dallas is well worth the miles. Husband and wife team Pieter and Petra Koeman opened this flower farm in 2015 after moving to Dallas from the Netherlands, a country long famous for its tulip industry. And with their expertise have since turned Texas Tulips into the annual must-do day trip for North Texans.

In a typical season, the farm stays open for around four weeks before selling out. The wide rows of tulips feature about 100 varieties you can walk to pick your favorites. Bring your own basket or pick one up to use while you’re there. Plus the kids can explore the hay maze.

Location: 10656 FM 2931, Pilot Point, about an hour north of Dallas
Open dates/hours: Daily from 10am to 8pm. The 2026 season is opening February 15, until the flowers last.
Admission: The day pass: $7 per person; free for children 12 months and younger, plus an additional $3 per tulip that you pick.

Hemingway Hill

This locally-owned flower farm and Christmas tree farm about 40 miles east of Dallas first opened in 2021 (you might have seen their trees and wreaths at the Dallas Farmers Market) and is now open for its second-ever tulip season. Its Tulipville stars more than 40,000 bulbs from Holland.

Come walk the rows of blooms and pick your fill of flowers by hand (no shears needed) and fill them in a borrowed vintage buckets. They’ll wrap them up for you and even, if you’re a little dirty from the fields, give you (free) paper mats for your car ride home. Ask about the complimentary stickers for kids too.

And no need to pack your own snacks for a trip here. They offer homemade, warm apple cider donuts and kettle corn, so feel free to sit at the picnic tables, and play some games while you’re running around the fields.

Bookmark this spot for later in the year: sunflower picking from Mother’s Day weekend through Independence Day—and again for Christmas trees and s’mores, starting the weekend before Thanksgiving to mid-December.

Location: Hemingway Farm, 11656 County Road 309, Terrell, Texas
Open dates/hours: The 2026 season is set to open 9am on Friday, February 27, through Sunday, and continuing Thursdays through Sundays until the tulips have been picked.
Admission: Free admission. There’s no charge to get in the gate, but you’ll pay per flower that you pick: $2.50 per stem. (Cash and debit/credit accepted.) If you’re a professional photographer, the charge is $25 per day.
