Pro Tips

- 2.Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get dirty,the fields can be muddy, especially after rain, and kids will want to sit on the ground while picking
- 3.Bring your own wagon or stroller with large wheels to haul your produce and tired little ones; the farm terrain can be bumpy
- 4.Check their Facebook page or call ahead to confirm what's currently available for picking, as crop availability changes throughout the season
- 5.Don't skip the farm stand,their fresh-baked goods and locally made products make great snacks for the ride home or treats to enjoy immediately
Best Time to Visit
Weekday mornings are ideal to avoid weekend crowds, especially during peak fall pumpkin season and June strawberry picking. Visit in September through October for the most activities including hayrides, pumpkins, and multiple crops available for picking, or late spring (May-June) for strawberries when the weather is pleasant and kids are excited about outdoor activities.
What to Know
Admission to the farm is free; you only pay for what you pick (typically sold by the pound or container). Parking is plentiful in their on-site lot. The farm stand accepts cash and cards, and offers fresh produce, baked goods, and seasonal treats if you prefer to buy rather than pick.
Seasonal Notes
Peak seasons are late spring for strawberry picking (May-June), summer for blueberries and vegetables (July-August), and fall for pumpkins, hayrides, and autumn activities (September-October). The pumpkin patch typically opens in late September and runs through October. Winter months have limited hours with the farm stand remaining open but no pick-your-own activities. Call ahead during shoulder seasons.
