  • Please pick only from the areas marked for picking, do not enter fields and orchards nor pick from areas designated not ready for picking. Visit our “what can I pick today” page for current availability or refer to your map while on the farm.
  • Courtesy transportation operates to and from the Pick Your Own fields and orchards. Loading and unloading onto the wagons takes place at designated areas only. Please ensure you are at a proper location for pick up by using map provided.
