Please note, for the farms that do not have a website I advise you call the farm ahead of visiting to check availability of crops and for prices/entry fee to avoid disappointment. Also, all of the farms are cash only and they ask for everyone not to eat berries before they are paid for, this in turn will keep giving people access to pick their own berries.

Most of all have fun and enjoy all those beautiful berries.
