U-PICK HOURS - Opening - Saturday, May 28.

During the harvest season, our vegetable fields are open to those hardy individuals who prefer to pick and choose their own vegetables, herbs and flowers from the market garden.  So come pick your own produce in our crop fields, have fun, see how vegetables are grown and talk to our farmers in the field. Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own bags.  Also, please check the website for hours, produce availability, and posted events.  Pick-your-own may only be done under the supervision of our farmer and/or interns in order to prevent crop damage.  First come, first serve.
