What to expect at UPICK
1. Always call or email the farm before you drive there to be sure they have
what you want and are open.
2. Pack for a day trip. Kids and adults alike may require hand towels,
wipes and something to eat and drink. Enjoying a picnic lunch can be a big part
of the fun. And don’t forget the camera!
3. Bring your own containers for picking and taking the food home.
Berry Heaven does have picking containers.
4. Dress in old clothes, long sleeves and worn athletic shoes. You will
probably get dirty and the ground could be wet. Extra layers in the spring/fall
will keep you warm, and a hat in the summer will keep you from getting
sunburned. Sunscreen is a necessity~!
5. Have a Plan B in case the weather changes. Check out other indoor
opportunities as a backup plan.
6. Follow instructions at the farm upon arrival. Explain to your kids
how to identify and pick the particular fruit or vegetable you are
harvesting.
7. Remember you are entering a natural environment
there are spiders, bees, beetles and other animals in nature that can and will
be present at some time during your visit. Always keep your eyes open and kind
to our friends in nature
8. Although we do keep the farm as child safe as possible it is a farm and
children need to be accompanied at all times.
If you’ve never experienced picking your own fruits or vegetables before,
why not take advantage of all that’s available here? If you have children, what
better way to teach them about healthy eating than to have them pick their own
dinner? The U-pick season gets started next month around Memorial Day with a
variety of fresh berries – think strawberries and cream, warm raspberry crisp or
blackberry pie!
