We currently do not charge a fee to go to our Pick-Your-Own fields (only pay for what you pick), so PLEASE help us keep our costs/fees down by not: eating in the fields, stealing from the fields, dumping your trash, causing destruction and picking to leave on the ground. Theft and destruction has become a huge issue and we appreciate those who respect the farm. **DO NOT PICK SOMETHING THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR. Check in with the market for all pricing, and field instructions before picking.
PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED, BY LAW, IN THE FRONT PICK-YOUR-OWN PRODUCE PATCHES. You are welcome to bring your dog on a leash and pick up after them, in the GRASSY AREAS OR other areas of our farm.
