Visiting a farm stand (browse our online directory) or Pick-Your-Own farm is one of the best ways to get your hands on delicious, healthy, and local foods. You can’t find a more authentic food experience than picking it yourself or speaking with the farmer who grew it. Plus, picking your own fruits and veggies or stopping by a farm stand provides you with an awesome experience too! We’ve compiled a few tips and guidelines to make sure your experience and that of the farmers welcoming you is as enjoyable as possible:
Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty
Don’t be shy about asking the staff about the farm story and their growing techniques
Be respectful
Listen to staff members instructions and go only in areas designated for picking
Be gentle! Avoid stepping on, spilling or otherwise damaging the produce
