3. 3.Visit on weekday mornings (Tuesday through Thursday) for the quietest experience with better picking options and more availability of ripe produce.
4. 4.Check their Facebook page or call ahead to confirm what's currently available for picking, as crop availability changes rapidly throughout the season.
5. 5.Bring sunscreen and hats for sunny days, as there's limited shade in the picking fields, and pack water bottles as there may not be refreshments available on-site.

Admission is typically free with pay-by-weight pricing for produce picked. The farm is cash-friendly, so bring Canadian dollars, though confirm if they accept credit cards. Washroom facilities are basic, so plan accordingly with young children.
