Strawberries: mid-June through mid-July
Cherries: June through July
Blueberries: mid-July through mid-August
Raspberries: mid-August through September
Peaches, Nectarines and Pears: early-August thru mid-September
Apples: mid-August through October

Check out our listing of local pick-your-own facilities and farms. Please be sure to call ahead before visiting as hours and conditions change on a daily basis, especially for the smaller area farms. Many farms offer more than just picking including petting zoos, playgrounds and farmers’ markets. Make a day of it!

We urge you to call ahead each year as many are family owned farms and have to close here and there to let more fields ripen. This year, we double dog urge you to call or check ahead for typical reasons as well as be sure your up to date on each farms response to covid-19. They’re doing their part to keep you safe just like you are too. Now…what will you make with your harvest? Tell us below.
