How to pick like a pro

Is it ripe?
Ask at the stand which rows are ready today; farms rotate fields as crops ripen.
How to pick
Stay in the rows you are sent to, pick clean (do not leave ripe fruit behind) and do not eat in the field unless the farm says it is fine.
Best time to go
Early in the day and early in the season for the best picking.
Keep it fresh
Cool produce quickly and keep it out of a hot car.

From the listing

A big part of the reason we started this farm was to provide an avenue for people to connect with their food and engage with nature. We feel very blessed to be able to steward this land, and want to share this blessing with the local community. We also realize that many people are unfamiliar with our farming practices and are interested in learning more--whether to better understand how their food is grown or to replicate these practices on their own land. We enjoy giving personalized tours and providing opportunities to visit throughout the year. We hope you can come visit sometime soon! Chec
