Cullipher Farm is one of the most well rounded U-pick farms in the area. They offer a wide range of fruits (and sunflowers) to pick throughout the summer and fall months. They have quite the packed schedule and don't skip a beat. Since we've lived here, we have picked strawberries, blueberries peaches, apples and grapes. Check their website to see the different crops throughout the year.
Some things to note:
- check their Facebook to keep up-to-date with last minute changes due to weather and if the fields are overpicked of fruit in season
- they have a great market on site, where you also cash out for your pickings (when they do apples, you cash out at the shack near the apple orchard). They have fresh produce (place of origin indicated), jams, preserves, butters, salsas, sauces, fresh baked goods, ciders, meats & seafood and even baked goods that they make on site. They also offer Nightingale ice cream sandwiches that I had for the first time last weekend (GASP! I know, I have definitely been missing out)
- there is a separate shop, next door to the market that sells ice cream, mini donuts and you MUST try their slushies! It's usually the fruit that is in season to pick. Love the apple and strawberry!
- KID FRIENDLY ALERT - they have a huge play area in the back, equipped with all sorts of modified mini tractors with bicycle pedals (put some oomph into them, they require some muscle), slides, swings etc.
We have picked basically everything and our favorite fruits to pick here are apples, and I believe they might be the only ones to offer apples in the fall in this area, unless you go to Carter mountain. We've also purchased a variety of produce, most recently the corn and it was so fresh and delicious!
Get some sunshine and pick some fruits! Stay safe, Friends!
