Strawberry U-Pick

The strawberries are ready!  We will open our field for u-pick on Saturday March 14th. 


Important information and tips for strawberry picking.
  • The u-pick is open Monday-Saturday 9am until 5 pm while the strawberries are in season.
  • The current price for picking berries is $1.50 per lb. and there is a 5 lb. minimum. 
  • Please bring your own containers to carry the berries home in.  We will provide buckets to pick the berries in.
  • Please park in the rear of our produce stand so that our non-picking customers have space to park.  Once you are parked and ready to pick someone will meet you on the east side of the produce stand(facing the strawberry field) and take you to an assigned row(s).
  • Please stay on the assigned row(s).  Our goal is to place you on a row where the berries are plentiful and not just picked; however, when pickers move around the field it becomes difficult to do so.
  • Please do not step or walk on the strawberry beds; doing this can unknowingly damage our beds, plants, and irrigation system. 
  • After picking we will weigh the berries and give them back to you to place into your containers. 
  • No animals are allowed in the field.
  • We encourage families to come out and let their children have the experience of picking strawberries.  Please do not leave children unattended in the field however.
  • Please remember strawberry fields are not shaded and can be warm; it is advised to dress and bring appropriate items for the best experience, i.e. comfortable clothing, closed toed shoes, hat, sunscreen, water, etc. 
We hope to see you out at the strawberry field!
