Lincoln County Cotton

Demonstrating how agriculture works is one of the main goals of the Old Time Cotton Picking Day, an event held each fall near Flintville, Tennessee.

The 15th Annual Old Time Cotton Picking Day takes place Friday, Oct. 20, 2023, at 155 N. Vanntown School Road in Flintville. As always, there will be signs on the main roads directing you to the farm.

Come reminisce about the old way of hand picking cotton and see the way we harvest cotton today while enjoying fun, food and fellowship. The event kicks off at 10 a.m., and lunch will be served around noon. Bring your lawn chair and get ready for a cotton pickin’ good time!

This is a free event, but donations are encouraged from those able to give. The proceeds will be given to local FFA Chapters and Tennessee Ag in the Classroom.

Please RSVP by Oct. 13 by email, phone or Facebook message to let event organizers know how many people will be in your party and if you’d like grilled chicken or a rib-eye steak sandwich for lunch. Chicken fingers and PB&J are also available for kids. Numbers and emails are listed below.

    Hi! I live out of town, is it possible to pay for cotton stems? I need about 300 for my wedding 🙂

    Part of my bucket list is to pick cotton. Do you offer this experience?

    Here in west Tennessee they are in full swing picking cotton. I still have an old 9′ blue-dot cotton sack that I got out yesterday and will have my wife take a picture of me pretending to pick cotton before all the fields are picked clean. Spent many a day in the cotton patch picking, starting with a burlap sack with a strap sewn on by mamma, and moving up to store bought sacks as I got older. Lunch time eating vienna sausages, crackers, and believe it or not, RC cola and moonpie for desert, sitting under the cotton wagon. How times have changed.
