sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
(see "What does Organic mean?").
The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for
a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this
page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined;
click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or
inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
New! As inflation remains high, see this page for
reliable (tested) brands of generic canning lids at lower
costs, and cost-saving measures for
getting fruit and vegetables and home canning.
If you are having a hard time
finding canning lids, I've used these, and they're a great price & ship in 2 days.
New! Road tripping and camping is a great way to have a fun, safe and inexpensive
family trip. The national and state parks and monuments are open, and campgrounds usually cost between $10 and $40 per night. September to November is the best
camping weather. See our new website Road Tripping and Camping.com for tips, tricks,
guides, checklists and info about parks, monuments and other places to visit.
New! We just went live with our latest website,
FunFactoryTours.com - As they name implies, you can find a fun factory tour, including chocolate, automobiles, historical forts and sites, famous buildings,
Active Federal facilities even fun geology: like fossils and volcanic areas
Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole
our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update
the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings,
but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check
every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to
all requests. They don't. Don't support the scammers!
Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook
page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or
Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally
overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with
the farm directly before you go!
And if you know of any farms I missed and want to
add a farm, please let me know!
I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find
anything out-of-date, wrong or not working -

What's in season in December 2024, and other timely information:
Notes for December 2024: Crop growth is slowing down, except for Christmas tree farms and if you live in southern California, southern Texas, Florida or
along the Gulf coast where citrus are starting, and believe it or not, the blueberry
and strawberry season in those areas is about to begin. See your state harvest calendar
. This year, much of the country is still seeing mild weather, so lettuce, peas, broccoli, cabbage and other greens are thriving. And this is a good time to
get a canner and learn how to preserve foods for the winter,
like canning some applesauce, apple butter or
jam, which make great gifts. As do your own homemade specialty liqueurs! How about homemade cranberry sauce or a pumpkin pie
made from a real pumpkin for the holidays? See our comprehensive list of
easy
home canning, jam and jelly
making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access
recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search.
A fun winter activity is to
make your own ice cream,
even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. If you have any questions or suggestions,
feel free to write me!

Comments from a visitor on March 21, 2010: "Just wanted to post that we have
taken my grandchildren (and friends) to this farm several times and were
always VERY hospitably received. Both children and adults enjoyed a
wonderful experience each time we went. Not mentioned is the fact they
sometimes have a baby lamb on premises and the children love to pet and feed
him. Thanks for your site!! "
Comments from a visitor on April 26, 2009: "we found a pick-your-own farm thanks
to your website. the idea was to build memories with our children (under 10)
and enjoy some fresh fruit on a picnic in the same day. in fact, the state
park just down the road was perfect and we invited our neihbors along for
the ride. everything was perfect...except for being yelled at and lectured
while on the picking excursion. really. the greeters (hired for the day)
were great. friendly, informative and helpful. they did leave out one key
detail-- that the owner didn't want folks to step over the rows of berries.
our neighbor did so twice in an effort to photograph her kids. she didn't
step on any bushes, not bother any other families. however, the owner's
daughter (old enough to know better) ran over to rip her a new one. not
nice. not neccessary. in the time spent yelling and threatening to make us
leave, she could have simply explained the rule or just asked us to stay in
a single row. no big deal. i guess the pressure of the day may have
contributed to the "emotion" of the scolding. perhaps she had just given the
same speech for the umpteeenthtime that day. it just seemed very odd and
unexpected -- certainly not the genteel easy-going "country" hospitality we
had imagined finding there. oh well, guess that explains the need to hire
greeters. perhaps it owuld be wise to have the farmers leave for the dasy
that tourists come in to pick. may be easier on everyone. we loved the
learning our kids got and the fresh food-- could have done without the "big
city" gripe out session."
Response from the farm on April 27, 2009:
"in response to "Comments from a visitor on April 26, 2009" i would like to reply.
yes, we do have rules. maybe they were not told or did not totally
understand the rules. that is the reason that when i first spotted the
gentleman neighbor jump the row (yes, no jumping over rows is rule #1.....for
safety reasons and to protect the plants and irrigation under the plastic), he
was told not to jump the row. several minutes later the lady neighbor
jumped the row and was told not to jump the row. then, she does it again.
that is when they were told that if it occured again they would need to leave
the field. by the way, the kids did great! on a lighter note, both the family day on april 17th and april 25th were a huge
success. we had a great turn out and, overall, the people were wonderful.
If anyone has comments, positive or negative, please write!
