U-Pick Flowers and Herbs:
What you need to know, and get the most from your experience.
What is a bunch? See U-Pick sample display for details, in Farm Shop. Every week it will change depending on abundance.
Bring Your Own Scissors. We do have a few pairs on hand, in a pinch, but they do disappear quickly!
Bring Your Own Containers. Something that will fit in your vehicle cup holder works. Fill up at the water coolers to help get your bouquets home without wilting.
Strip leaves from the stems in the field - helps keep bouquets from wilting and fresh for longer. You can do this in the field, just drop on the ground in the walkways.
Use a rubber band. Keep bouquets neat and tidy - grab a few from the U-Pick sample display.
Can I add Flowers and Herbs to my share? Include as an item in your CSA share, swap out something, or purchase as an “extra”. CSA Member discount on ALL U-Pick crops.
Open to the Public? Yes, with limitations. CSA Members have priority. Please see Farm Shop for details.
