This page provides a detailed list of the Connecticut's pick-your-own (PYO, U-pick, pick-it-yourself) farms. I'm always
looking for suggestions of more farms and
events to add and feedback about any you have visited, so if you encounter any,
just click on the preceding link, as appropriate! And if you have a farm and want to
add it or correct the
information, please click on the link to "add my farm".
Click on the map or links below in your area to locate a
pick-your-own farm near you:
We also have a page with links to our own simple
instructions on canning, freezing and drying many fruits and
vegetables, such as how to make jam, apple
butter, applesauce, spaghetti
sauce, salsa, pickles,
ketchup or freezing
corn.

Peaches sometimes require extra time to ripen between pickings; therefore,
we do not always have u-pick peaches on a daily basis. U-pick apples usually
begin in early August and go thru the end of October. Our apple trees are
all dwarfs, which means no ladders or climbing; all the fruit is easy to
reach from the ground. We offer free tractor rides on the weekends and all
containers are provided. The orchards are handicap accessible. On Mondays
and Tuesdays, we offer a 10% discount to seniors at our u-pick locations.
Free tractor rides on weekends. PYO pumpkins in the Fall. Fruits & veggies

spaghetti sauce!. This complete kit includes everything you need and
lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs,
lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel,
