U-pick
“Come early for breakfast before you pick, and enjoy your coffee and muffins hot from the oven on the shaded porch overlooking the blueberry field.”
“The FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act prohibits animals in the fields where fruit and produce is being harvested, so they can't accompany you while you pick during picking season.”
“"Berry picking is a great family outdoor activity," says Earnie Bohner, who owns Persimmon Hill Farm along with wife Martha.”
