Good to know
How much does pick-your-own produce usually cost?
Prices vary by crop and region, averaging $2.00–$3.50 per pound for apples and $4.00–$7.00 per quart for strawberries or blueberries. Some farms charge a field admission fee of $3–$10 per person, which sometimes counts as credit toward your final harvest total.
Do I need to bring my own containers or bags?
Most farms provide specific containers, bags, or boxes to ensure accurate volume measurement or tare weight. If you bring your own containers, you must have them weighed at the check-in desk before entering the picking fields.
Are dogs and other pets allowed in the picking fields?
Due to USDA food safety regulations and health codes, pets are prohibited in active picking fields at nearly all farms. Only service animals trained to assist individuals with disabilities are permitted under federal law.
