Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings, but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to all requests.  They don't. Don't support the scammers!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know!   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

    A visitor writes on June 02, 2013: "My friend and I went there on 05/15/2013. Bushes are loaded, area trim, porta-johns on site, shaded area with chairs available. Only problem was the guy in charge was arrogant and not customer-service oriented at all. So be aware. He puts you a row and you can't stray from that row or else! Would never bring children there. Probably won't go there again myself. He may have rubbed me wrong - but not a good experience."
