Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Colusa, Lake, Napa, Sacramento, Solano, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties in California? Farms are open and safe! Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Colusa, Lake, Napa, Sacramento, Solano, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties in California,
sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
(see "What does Organic mean?").
The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for
a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this
page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined;

inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
New! As inflation remains high, see this page for cost-saving measures for
getting fruit and vegetables and home canning.
If you are having a hard time
finding canning lids, I've used these, and they're a great price & ship in 2 days.
New! Road tripping and camping is a great way to have a fun, safe and inexpensive
family trip. The national and state parks and monuments are open, and campgrounds usually cost between $10 and $40 per night. September to November is the best
camping weather. See our new website Road Tripping and Camping.com for tips, tricks,
guides, checklists and info about parks, monuments and other places to visit.
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!

What's in season in March 2023, and other timely information:
Notes for March 2023: The northern half of the U.S.
(and most of Canada, of course) are under snow. So, the crops to pick are pretty
much limited to Florida, Texas, southern California and a few other areas of the
Deep South. Citus, for one, is a crop that is usually available now; and
in those areas, soon also strawberries and blueberries. Check your area's
copy calendar (see this page) and call your local farms for
seasonal updates.
Children's Consignment Sales

recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search.
If you have any questions or suggestions,
feel free to write me! It is easy to

Fresh, Local and Sustainable from Our Garden to Your Table. We grow our
vegetables using organic methods and allowing nature to do its job.
Through crop rotation and diversification we interrupt the life-cycles
of soil borne diseases and encourage healthier crop production. To keep
our pest populations low, we encourage predatory insects to make our
garden their home by planting beneficial plants in our habitat gardens.
Adequate pollination is accomplished by attracting bees using bee-loving
plants such as lavender, rosemary and nepeta, oh and of course the
blossoms from our fruit trees and vegetable plants.(UPDATED: May 07,

Comments from a visitor on July 28, 2009:
"They had everything..I counter about 7 different melons from casaba
to savors to a yellow meat watermelon--they have black eye peas,
purple hull peas, okra, squash, and the biggest onions in the world,
and some beautiful purple bell peppers( never seen those
before)..the watermelon is to die for and I eat a passport
melon(something new)on the way home. I was there on Sunday and they
had Live Jazz on the farm. They said they do tours for kids and
community groups. They had an employee restroom that they let me
used, which was very clean. There is a nice pinic area with a
manicured lawn, with BBQ pit access. This is not an organic farm
however the farm said he only sprays when he has too. The crops look
amazing you can but your items already picked and shelled or pick
your own. Personally, I got a bag of shelled black eyes for $13.50
for 5lbs my mother was impressed. I was able to lie and say I picked
them myself.I loved the veggies and people. From the diverse
staff to the multi-cultural customers, I did not want to leave so
they told me to go hang out on the lawn and eat my melons, so I did
with the Jazz."
Comments from a visitor on July 22, 2009:
"Very sweet and a variety of melons. Very fresh produce and unique
varieties. They specialize in fresh southern peas. Very friendly.

is a mentor for young adults. ( 10 yrs---18 yrs old) "

tend to drop from the trees during the Christmas tree season, and

year for pecans, said Emily. This year, not so much. But pecans tend
to produce every other year, so the trees should be more generous
next year. (UPDATED: May 28, 2018, JBS)
