Pick-Your-Own Season Has Arrived<\/h4>

There\u2019s something special about the start of pick-your-own season on the farm. The fields are waking up, the days are growing longer, and families are once again filling baskets with the freshest flavors of the season. It all begins with one of spring\u2019s sweetest traditions \u2014 strawberries.<\/p>

Our first crop of juicy, sun-ripened strawberries marks the beginning of months of farm fun and fresh harvest experiences that continue throughout the growing season, typically into November. Each season brings something new to discover, giving guests a reason to return again and again.<\/p>

Spring Harvest Adventures<\/strong><\/h4>

Spring is the perfect time to reconnect with the farm after winter. Strawberry picking leads the way, followed by opportunities to harvest peas and fragrant herbs fresh from the field. Cool spring mornings, blooming orchards, and vibrant green fields create the perfect setting for a day outdoors.<\/p>

Summer on the Farm<\/strong><\/h4>

As the weather warms, the farm transforms into a colorful summer harvest destination. Guests can enjoy picking blueberries, raspberries, and a wide variety of summer vegetables including tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. The abundance of the season means there\u2019s always something fresh and flavorful waiting in the fields.<\/p>

Fall Traditions<\/strong><\/h4>

Fall brings some of the farm\u2019s most beloved traditions. Crisp air, colorful foliage, and the excitement of apple and pumpkin picking create unforgettable memories for families and friends. Guests can also enjoy harvesting winter squash while taking in the beauty of autumn. Don’t forget a visit to the corn maze this time of year, everyone’s favorite. Enjoy a nighttime view of the farm at Harvest Moon Nights, hosted weekends in September through October. <\/p>

More Than Just Picking \u2014 Enjoy the Farm Experience<\/strong><\/h2>

A visit to the farm is about more than what you take home. It\u2019s about slowing down, enjoying the outdoors, and making memories together. Throughout the season, guests can enjoy a variety of creature comforts and family-friendly amenities designed to make every visit relaxing and enjoyable.<\/p>

Hop aboard our tractor-driven wagons featuring helpful field recordings that guide you through the farm experience. We also offer accessible wagons, accessible portable restrooms, and changing stations to help accommodate guests of all ages and abilities.<\/p>
