A visit to one of these amazing u-pick farms is just what you need to liven up your summer. Not only will you make great family memories picking fresh-off-the-vine produce, but you will also be supporting a local farmer!
Pick-your-own farms also help kids make the connection between farming and the food on their table. When you’re buying berries at the grocery store, the farm is a distant thought. When you pick berries at a patch, kids can really see the true meaning of farm-fresh produce!
