Pick-Your-Own

How It Works

1

First you purchase your fruit container and pay your entrance fees. Most weekdays containers and entrance fees are sold in the market and weekends they are sold at the orange or yellow ticket booth.

2

Park your strollers and leave backpacks, coolers, blankets and bags in the car. They are not permitted in the Pick-Your-Own fields.

3

Take the wagon ride to the field. The wagons run continuously.

4

A team member will instruct you on where to pick and how to find the ripest fruits.

5

Take the wagon back to the Market.
