FAQs
Q: When are you open?
A: We are a working farm and our hours can change depending on the weather conditions. We ask that you check our website or all social media platforms for updates for weather conditions and berry production (seasonal) before you make your trip.
Q: Are your berries organic? GMO (Genetically Modified)?
A: No, we are not a certified organic Farm. However, we only use a very light pesticide when needed and we do it at a time to not disturb the bees that are pollinating the berries. We do not use pesticides in our blueberry and blackberry fields unless necessary. Our berries are not GMO.

Q: Should we plan on picking berries or playing first?
A: It is our recommendation that you always pick first. During certain seasons when we are busier than others we could be picked out early. If you plan on picking, it is best that you bring a cooler with ice (to store the berries). Come early and pick, then make it a great rest of the day and play in Farm Funland.
