Some things to consider during your visit:

1) It is always a good idea to check the farm's social media profiles to keep updated on which crops are available for picking, and in case they have to close due to inclement weather.

2) Going to the farm when they open first thing in the morning for pyo is a good way to ensure you get the first picks of the day!
