Helpful Hints:

Always check before you leave your house for weather or unforeseen closures of picking for the day.

Wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Closed-toe shoes are best—mud happens.

Be ready for a bit of walking—fruit at the front of the rows disappears fast, and the real gems often hide toward the middle or the end.

This is a working farm with active machinery. For your safety, remain within designated areas and be aware of your surroundings at all times.

If you have one of our current plastic buckets or baskets from a previous trip please bring it back to reuse it.
