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
All children are welcome to the farm, famer market and flower garden. Sorry, no children under 12 are permitted in the strawberry fields due to inconsistencies in stewardship and resulting damage
Proper Picking Technique
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, small). Any ripe fruit left unpicked will spoil and damage future fruit.
Please discard 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 field as they will spoil rapidly and dirt will get into the berry tissue
