Advantages of U-Pik

Enjoy nature with healthy plants, clean, weed-free fields and plentiful sweet vine ripened fruits

Well-managed picking assures that your row was picked properly previously and has not been picked over since that normal rotation/flagging.

Containers provided - you save $2.00/gallon vs pre-picked
 
What to Expect
 

Field managers will direct you to a specific location to provide you with the best possible picking.

Once you have reached your picking area, you will be instructed in picking technique, marker flags and checkout procedures.

Please place personal belongings and keys where they will not get lost while picking

   

Children

All children are welcome to the farm, farm market and flower garden. Children will be permitted in the strawberry fields when under close, direct, adult/parental supervision. Larger groups not under direct parental supervision require a prearranged reservation.
   
Proper Picking Techniques
God creates the bounty and charges all of us with a responsibility for proper stewardship of that bounty.

Please move the foliage and look closely under the leaves.

Please pick all ripe berries (large, medium and small). Any ripe fruit left unpicked will spoil and damage future fruit.

Please disgard any unacceptable fruit by throwing discards into the walkways

If berries are not picked clean, we will request that you re-pick your row in order to avoid losses

Do not remove berry caps while in the fields as they will spoil rapidly and dirt will get into the berry tissue
