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.
