    When you visit a 'pick your own' garden, here are some suggestions to make the day enjoyable:

    • Dress:
      Wear loose, comfortable clothing such as a long sleeved shirt and pants.
    • Cooler:
      Bring a picnic cooler with ice packs to keep those berries and vegetables just right until you get home
    • Bugs and Sun:
      Remember those UV rays - wear a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Bring some mosquito repellent, just in case.
    • Call Ahead:
      It is a good idea to call ahead to be sure the farm has a good supply of what you want today - don't go home disappointed!
    • Follow Instructions:
      Please respect the grower's property and follow any written or verbal instructions you are given.
    • Storage of Berries:
      Berries store better unwashed. Do not wash until immediately before use. Store in refrigerator in shallow containers, loosely covered. Use within two or three days.
