What you can pick here

Typical US ranges from extension service crop calendars, not this farm's own dates. Seasons shift by region and weather, so check with the farm.

Before you go

  • Check that it is open. Call the farm: hours and crops change with the weather.
  • Bring cash and a card. Some farms take only one.
  • Water, sun protection and closed-toe shoes.
  • Containers only if the farm allows them (some weigh yours first)
  • Sunscreen and a hat
  • A cooler for the drive home
  • Bug spray for evening picking
  • Ask about pets before you bring a dog.

More tips: your first u-pick visit.

How to pick like a pro

  • Is it ripe?

    Strawberries are ready when fully red to the stem. Blueberries should be deep blue with no red at the stem end; ripe ones roll off into your palm. Blackberries are ripe when dull black, not shiny.

  • How to pick

    Pinch strawberries off with a bit of stem so they keep longer. Cup blueberry clusters and roll with your thumb. Pick into shallow containers so the bottom layer is not crushed.

  • Best time to go

    Early morning, before the heat softens fruit and picked-over rows fill up.

  • Keep it fresh

    Do not wash until you eat them. Refrigerate in a single layer; most berries keep 2 to 5 days.
