U-Pick CROP UPDATE:
U-PICK CROP UPDATE July 25, 2024: U-Pick organic blueberries and thornless organic blackberries: WE HAVE TONS OF BLUEBERRIES FOR U-PICK RIGHT NOW! COME AND GET THEM ASAP!! This is peak season!! Don’t wait! We also have a lot of thornless blackberries available now!
Please understand that we are a very busy u-pick destination (being the only certified organic u-pick in the area) and we only have as many strawberries as we have, so that is out of our control. Please be patient with our staff and we appreciate your support for a local organic family-run farm! *We do have some already-picked organic blueberries and sometimes blackberries in our store right now, but those also can sell out quickly, so please call ahead to reserve yours if you want them guaranteed!*
U-PICK HOURS: U-Pick Hours are OPEN DAILY 9am to 5pm (last call into the fields at 4pm- no exceptions). The farm will be open daily starting June 1 through end of October.
Last Update: July 25, 2024- Abundant Crops Available Already-Picked in our store currently: Heirloom Tomatoes, pickling cucumbers, blueberries, green beans, zucchini, organic greens.
*Note: Once U-Pick opens- please check out the calendar for daily crop updates and availability!
What’s Already Picked?
*Please keep in mind, we are a very popular u-pick destination so we have A LOT of u-pickers daily. For BERRY SEASON ONLY – There are many days that we have so many berry pickers come visit us that we sell out of berries for that day and must allow the fields time for more berries to ripen. Please call ahead before heading out if you want to verify if a certain crop is in abundance that day!
