Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Are children permitted in the raspberry patch?

Unfortunately due to a lot of "free-range parenting" last season our child(ren) policy has been updated. Please note the following:

• Yes, well behaved child(ren) are permitted in the raspberry patch. 
• We do require ONE adult for every TWO children in the patch. 
• It is your responsibility to ensure your child(ren) are staying in your assigned row, not taste testing raspberries, picking unripe berries and/or throwing berries... yes this really happens.  If they pick any unripe berries you are still required to pay for them. If they are caught throwing berries they will be asked to leave the patch and return to your personal vehicle. 

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep the u-picks enjoyable for all guests. 

​​​​​​​Can I bring a wagon or stroller?

Are your raspberries organic?
While we are not a certified organic farm we do grow everything as if we were. We work very hard to ensure our plants and trees are happy and healthy as they will yield sweeter and more delicious fruits. We also utilize cover crops to feed the bees and to increase pollination as well as to put nutrients back into the soil.  ​​​​​​​
