What's Pickin'

We grow over 54 crops every year available different times of the year (vegetables, berries, and fruit). Our main growing season is June through the beginning of October (depending on the weather). During this time, not only is our Market & Deli stocked with our crops, but our fields are open to your family as you enjoy the Pick Your Own Experience. The rest of the year we harvest crops from our greenhouses to stock the Market & Deli. The What's Pickin' page is your resource to know what is available in the Market & Deli and what is available for the Pick Your Own Experience.

When you are at the farm you will come across crops that are not on the What's Pickin' list. If this is the case, please do not harvest them as they are not yet ready to be harvested. If you do harvest a crop that is not on the list, you will be charged per pound for what you picked on your way out.
