ahead to have a parent with their children at all times and keep close
watch as they can wander off easily
- No
children allowed on ladders they are placed for adult’s use ONLY
- Bring a camera to capture fun moments and times together.
U-Pick Do's
- Remember
that when you visit a farm, you are a visitor. Like many farms, it is both
the family's home and business. Respect their property and dispose of
trash in the proper receptacles.
- Read
and obey all signs. Follow directions about where and what to pick.
- Supervise
children at all times, keeping them close by for fun family picking.
- Wear
shoes, shirts and other proper clothing at all times.
- Protect
yourself from the sun by wearing a sunscreen and a hat.
- If
you do bring a pet be sure to give them air, park in the shade if possible
and have water for them to drink in the vehicle. GAP Regulations no longer allow pets at
farm market operations
- Enjoy
yourselves, enjoy the fresh air and have a great time!
U-Pick Don'ts
- Throw or damage produce.
- Attempt to move a ladder. Ladders are usually set at the beginning
of each day where fruit is more plentiful.
Please check other sites in the orchard for easy picking.
- Climb on or touch farm equipment.
Many machines have sharp edges and moving parts.
-
Climb trees or pull on branches
while in the orchard.
-
Step on fruits and vegetables
in the field.
- Smoke Anywhere on Farm.
- Bring a pet or animal to the
farm, it’s much too hot to be locked in a vehicle.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
