Call ahead if you would like something picked for you from the fields  540-899-9848, otherwise we pick for the market as needed. **PICK-YOUR-OWN FIELDS: There is absolutely NO EATING picked produce in the fields. All produce must be brought to a cashier after picking, to pay BY WEIGHT. DO NOT PICK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PURCHASE. 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.
