Fruit & Vegetable Picking
We invite you and your family and friends to enjoy the wonderful experience of picking fruits on our farm. The best fruit is grown with care and picked by you. Experience the sights, sounds, smells, and savory tastes of the farm. Enjoy picking your own fruit in a weed-free field, with complimentary wagon use and bottled water for each pick your own customer.
We anticipate offering Pick Your Own fruit starting with Strawberries around the beginning of June. Because of the cooler spring, the strawberry crop is approximately three weeks later than typical. And because of late spring frosts, the strawberry crop will be extremely light. All other Pick Your Own crops, weather-permitting, will be very abundant.
