While my kids enjoy helping pick out produce at the grocery store, it’s much more fun to build core memories at actual U-Pick farms. Kids connect with nature by seeing how different fruits and vegetables grow and being part of the harvesting process. Plus, the rewards are delicious!
In addition to the amazing outdoor parks and playgrounds to visit locally, there are also plenty of U-Pick farms nearby. There’s no need to search for “U-Pick farms near me,” since we’ve pulled together information on what you can pick while visiting these farms. If you are interested in U-Pick blueberries, U-Pick strawberries, or U-Pick apples, we have specific guides for each, which all include dates and hours.
Be sure to double-check with the farms before visiting to find out which produce is in season, as well as for their hours of operation.
