  Comments from a visitor on September 02, 2009: " has wonderful strawberries (June and July) and blueberries. They are not organic, but they don't use pesticides. Watch out for the occasional poison ivy plant in the blueberries. We've not tried the PYO lettuce and flowers. The farmstand has delicious corn, also pesticide-free (ie, occasional cornworm). We've been going there for ten years. Our kids love the donkeys and goats."

Flower Picking Tips, and Information

Farms that offer U-pick or pick-your-own flowers are becoming more common.

• Once picked, quickly get the stems into water
• Get them out of the hot sun after picking to increase shelf life.  Cool shade is best.
• Re-cut stems while underwater - once you get home. Making a fresh cut, while the cut end is submerged helps the stem to take up water and avoid a vapor lock.
