Picking Tips
  • Look for peaches with lots of color and creamy undertones. You don’t want to see green undertones.
    • It’s okay to pick peaches a little hard. Picking them while they’re still firm ensures the best chance of getting them home without bruises. Just leave them out on the counter to ripen.
  • Gently cup the peach and twist slightly to remove it. Ripe peaches will come off easily.
  • Handle carefully to avoid bruising.
Field Rules
  • No bags allowed in Pick-Your-Own fields. Bags are prohibited to ensure compliance with food safety regulations.
  • Must pay for everything that you pick. All fruit must fit in purchased container. Any fruit that does not fit in purchased container is considered unpaid and considered stolen.

  • Always wash your fruit before consuming. No picnicking in Pick-Your-Own Fields
  • No pets are allowed anywhere on the farm
