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.
