Pick Your Own crops are a major component of both Full and Small CSA shares, and your designated amounts may be picked any time during the week that the farmstand is open. Members often enjoy coming back to the farm, separate from their regular share pick-up, to harvest with family members. If you're interested in Pick Your Own but aren't a CSA member, just stop by the farmstand to see what's available, and we'll get you started.

- Wait until cherry tomatoes are nice and ripe to pick (they do not continue to ripen)
