Weekday mornings are ideal for a quieter experience, especially during peak strawberry (June) and pumpkin (October) seasons. Spring through fall offers the most activities, with summer providing the widest variety of pick-your-own options.

Pick-your-own pricing varies by crop (pay by the pound). Free to walk the trails and visit the farm stand. Parking is available on-site but fills quickly on weekend mornings during peak seasons.

Peak visiting seasons are late spring through fall. Strawberry picking typically runs June, summer berries July-August, and fall brings pumpkin picking and apple season. Winter months have limited activities but the farm stand remains open year-round with reduced hours.
