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 I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

What's in season in December 2024, and other timely information:

Notes for December 2024: Crop growth is slowing down, except for Christmas tree farms and if you live in southern California, southern Texas, Florida or along the Gulf coast where citrus are starting, and believe it or not, the blueberry and strawberry season in those areas is about to begin. See your state harvest calendar . This year, much of the country is still seeing mild weather, so lettuce, peas, broccoli, cabbage and other greens are thriving. And this is a good time to get a canner and learn how to preserve foods for the winter, like canning some applesauce, apple butter or jam, which make great gifts. As do your own homemade specialty liqueurs! How about homemade cranberry sauce or a pumpkin pie made from a real pumpkin for the holidays? See our comprehensive list of easy home canning, jam and jelly making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search. A fun winter activity is to make your own ice cream, even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write me!

Valentine's Day - February 14 - See this website for Valentines Day history, facts and Amazon's top picks for fast, easy, inexpensive gifts for the man, woman or children in your life!

Easter will be April 4, 2021 - if you want to take your children to a free Easter egg hunt - see our companion website to find a local Easter Egg hunt!

Pine View Orchard - permanently closed
17 Sunset Lane off Pine Hill Road, Berwick, ME 03901. Open: UPDATE for 2022: permanently closed
A visitor writes on October 12, 2022: "update to your page about Pine View Orchard in Berwick ME - we used to go there for one or two specific varieties of apples. A few years ago the house and land were sold to new owners. If I remember correctly, they had fruit picking for that first year because it was close to harvest time. The orchard is now gone - if you use your link for directions, switch to satellite view on google maps and you'll see that beautiful orchard has been completely bulldozed. The new owners apparently liked the house and the view but didn't much care for fresh fruit. You could either remove the entry or add a note that they're now closed and all of the trees are gone."

Comments from a visitor on August 12, 2011: "AWESOME!! Fran is SO SWEET! I can't say enough about her orchard!! Not sure if they have pumpkins? I think so? They also have watermelon I think too. Not sure about other produce? I know they sell maple syrup, honey, homemade jams, pickles, etc. I don't think she is organic "per se" but I do know they are the best apples I've ever tasted and they are HUGE! I don't think she uses pesticides on her apple trees though?"
