Respect the Farms rules. Don't litter, run, or pick in undesignated areas.




Dress like a Farmer and protect yourself from the possible thorny bushes or vines.




Wear Gloves to protect your hands




If you are picking delicate berries, bring shallow containers to collect them in. This way the weight of the berries won't crush the ones on the bottom.




If you are not sure if something is ripe, it's a good idea to ask an attendant.




Protect yourself and family members from sunburn, rashes, heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Try to stay hydrated a few days in advance of your Pick your own farm trip. You'll be surprised at the amount of water you may need to make up for all that sweating outside.




Be certain to apply waterproof sunscreen before you enter the park & throughout the day. Hats are good for additional sun protection too.




You will be walking....a lot! So, be sure to wear comfortable shoes or sneakers the fit well and offer good support to your feet.
