This page provides a detailed list of Toledo, Ohio'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".
Remember to ALWAYS either email, call or click the link to
the farm's own website (if they have one) on the morning before you go,
to confirm hours, conditions and availability of the specific crops you want!
We also have our own free and
simple, step-by-step,
illustrated
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 . If
you are looking
for Canners,
mixes, jars, pectin and other canning supplies at the best prices anywhere!
Remember: ALWAYS call (or follow the link to the farm's own website, if the name
is a blue link) to confirm the information before you go! They may close,
run out or change events, times, etc. without notifying me!

kids like to play at the petting zoo and you can shop while they do. Their
products are fresh and wonderful, their service is amazing. They give
samples and have excellent seconds.
From the start of Strawberry season until the last of their cold storage

foods are wonderful, they sell locally made baked goods, jams and candles.
