Tips & Information

The U-Pick experience is unique to our area. Please respect our growers and the fact that they make a living by the sale of their products. Harvest Time recommends that you follow our simple tips to ensure a pleasurable visit.

¨     U-Pick Guidelines

o       No climbing or damaging trees.

o       Children are not allowed on ladders.

o       You must buy what you pick.

o       Check produce for ripeness before picking it.

o       Do not throw fruit.

o       Please do not litter.

¨     Traffic Awareness & Safety

o       Watch for traffic and pedestrians when pulling into and out of farms.

o       If you are unsure of your destination:

§         Pull off the road in a safe location and re-check your map.

§         Use your cell phone to call your grower, if necessary.

§         Stop into any of our growers’ stands and simply ask for directions.

o       Do not make illegal U-turns.

¨     Comfort & Enjoyment
