  • Check that it is open. Look at the farm website: hours and crops change with the weather.
  • Bring cash and a card. Some farms take only one.
  • Water, sun protection and closed-toe shoes.
  • A bag or box for the ride home, if the farm allows your own
  • Comfortable shoes for orchard rows
  • Hand wipes
  • Ask about pets before you bring a dog.

More tips: your first u-pick visit.

How to pick like a pro

  • Is it ripe?

    Ripe apples come off with a gentle lift and twist. If you have to yank, it is not ready. Background color shifts from green to yellow or cream.

  • How to pick

    Lift the apple up and twist; do not pull straight down or shake the branch. Leave the stem on. Set apples in the bag, do not drop them, because bruises spread.

  • Best time to go

    Weekday mornings. Weekend afternoons in late September and October are the busiest.

  • Keep it fresh

    Refrigerate; most varieties keep for weeks. Keep away from bananas and greens, because apples release ethylene.

Farm country: Hawaii County

Hawaii County had 3,638 farms in the latest USDA Census of Agriculture (2022). Of those, 640 sold food straight to the public and 130 earned money from agritourism like u-pick and tours.
