FAQs

How do I purchase tickets?
Purchase pick-your-own tickets ahead
on this page or drop by the farm from 8 am - 5 pm. If you do decide to walk-in without pre-purchasing tickets online, please note, farmers monitor fields closely to make sure the best picking is possible each day. Always check ahead before you arrive. Picking info for that day will be made available on this page or select the PYO line at 978.388.5525. For group picking of 20+ people, please see group picking.

Please do:

  • Check in to the farm store (weekdays) or information booth (weekends) upon arrival.

  • Keep plants happy by walking on paths.

  • Carefully select ripe fruit before picking.

  • Use provided containers for picking. Personal picking containers not permitted.

  • Respect the land and farmers by minimizing waste and sampling.

  • Adults are responsible for their children’s actions and safety at all times.

  • Take your time and enjoy your visit! Exit the fields by 5:30 p.m.

  • We ADORE our furry friends, too. But safe crop sanitation practices mandate that pets be excluded from all areas of the farm.

  • Please leave backpacks and bags in your vehicle. The farm is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
