This question will have a different answer every year. This depends on good old Mother Nature!! We have a love/hate relationship with her. If only she talked to me more or let me in on her secrets!! Our u-pick depends on when the flowers are ready. We would hate to have you out and not have our fields full of wonderful flowers for you to pick. We expect it to be about Mid July-September. Make sure to join our VIP flower friends list to stay up to date on all our Upicks and events. We occasionally have an early season upick which can happen towards the end of June.
Until the U-pick is open and the field is flowing we will continue to offer bouquets. These will be filled with early seasonal blooms. Please reach out to pick up a bouquet.
There are specific times of the day that are better to pick flowers. Picking in the afternoon heat is the worst. It is best to pick in the early morning or late evening hours. The flowers will have the longest vase life cut at these times.
The flowers need time to regrow in between pickings so we stagger our u-pick days.
Plus there are a lot of chores on the farm that need to be done. While u-pick days are our favorites!! The fields would not look beautiful if we had guests over every day. Some of our days have to be spent on maintenance.
If you would like to book a private upick we require a minimum of 10 people.
