Find U-Pick Farms Near You: Online Resources for Fresh Harvests

Summer picking is easy—if you know where to go. Skip random drives; use these online directories to locate U-pick farms, orchards, and farmers' markets.

Top Resources

• Dave's Garden "Go Gardening" – U-pick and apple orchard listings.
• PickYourOwn.org – State/county listings with produce types, activities, contact info, organic farms highlighted in green. Links to farm websites, crop calendars, canning/freezing recipes (including soups, sauces, meats). Tips on quantities (e.g., 24 qt berries → 12–18 qt jam). Fruit/vegetable festivals worldwide (e.g., Hatch Chile Festival, PA Sweet Potato Festival). Easter egg hunt links. Book recommendations and canning supply sales.
• LocalHarvest.org – National directory of farms, CSAs, and local food sources.

Caveats

Sites may have outdated/broken links (PickYourOwn.org's corn maze, pumpkin patch, weather, and map tabs need maintenance). But the core farm listings are invaluable. The only thing these sites don't do? Pick the fruit for you.
