When and Why is the You Pick closed?

When: every afternoon.

Why: we are a true operating farm and it is necessary to close in order to accomplish the field work.

When: if the fields are very wet or it is raining.

Why: many diseases are transferred in moisture. If you are picking when it is raining or very wet you will move the disease (if there is any) between plants.

Why: the ground compacts when it is walked on during a wet or rainy period.

Why: the fruit you pick will not keep well when picked wet.

Why: certain fruit (raspberries) have less sugar content when picked in the rain.

Why: it is not a pleasant experience for our customers.
