Note: Beware Google's AI search answers - it MAKES UP NONSENSE. Also 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. 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   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

  Comments from a visitor on September 05, 2014: "When looking into this pick-it-yourself farm, I found that while they are based in Corrales, the pick-yourself fields are located 30 miles away in Los Lunas. I think the directions on your site should include this fact since I would imagine that driving all the way to the north end of the valley for a 'fruitless' adventure would be frustrating for most. We went today and the berries are all great for $5/pint. Half the field is off limits for regrowth but the rest is full of sweet berries. Go before noon. Bing mosquito repellent, they are ubiquitous even at 1 pm. And anyone with ragweed or other weed allergies, bring allergy medicine; blooming is in progress, my kid had a huge reaction!"
