Helpful U-Pick Tips

Helpful U-Pick Tips
  • Dress comfortably. Wear loose fitting clothing
  • Wear a hat or cap and bring sunscreen
  • Bring your own containers
  • If you plan to spend the day, take ice to keep berries cool
  • Select only firm ripe berries
  • Be careful not to remove the tops of the berries
  • Make an effort to pick every ripe berry on each plant rather than jumping from plant to plant and row to row
