Please tell the farms you found them here - and ask them to update their information!!!

I've tried to make the site intuitive and easy to use, but when is simple to one person is complicated to another, so let me explain how it works!

The drawing at right shows a layout of the major areas of the website, which are matched by the buttons at the top of every page.

When you click on the buttons, it calls up a different page.  The top part may LOOK similar, but if you scroll down the page (using your mouse, the down arrow key or the "page down" key, you will see it is completely different!

If you use your mouse to click on areas on the drawing at right, it will take you to additional help about those pages.

Other tips

Note: some links open new pages - usually, these are links to outside pages, like the farm's websites, Mapquest, and a few pages that you just need for feedback and other forms or instructions! On those pages, the "back" key won't be clickable, so you just close the window to return to the previous page.

If you're ready to get started, just click on the drawing or the button at the top of this page for the activity you want!

If you need more help and don't have a computer-savvy 10-year old nearby, just write me an email from the feedback form! I'm always open to suggestions, corrections, updates, requests or cries for help!  And I am usually able to respond within 24hrs!

Remember to ALWAYS call the farm or orchard BEFORE you go - weather, heavy picking and business conditions can always affect their hours and crops!
