U-Pick in the orchard
- An entry ticket is required for U-Pick.
- The entrance for U-Pick is in the middle of the parking lot.
- You will need to have your tickets either printed or on your phone to be scanned for entry. Every ticket will need to be scanned.
The picking experience
- Once your ticket has been scanned you will be handed something indicating the total number of tickets you had. KEEP HOLD OF THIS, as this will indicate to our cashiers the credit amount you have when paying (the cost of the tickets are credited back to your purchase).
- As you enter the orchard after ticket scanning, you will find a table with boxes to pick your fruit into, please take as many as you require. There will also be a sign with what is available to pick and how much each fruit costs per pound.
- All fruits that are the same price per pound can be picked into the same box and mixed, any fruit that has a unique price per pound needs to be kept separately in a different picking box.
- Our scales have already been set to take out the weight of the box, so please only use the provided boxes to place your picked fruit into.
- We ask that you be mindful of other pickers and their space. We have a entry tickets so that there is a comfortable amount of people on the farm at any given time.

- Once you are done picking, head back toward where you entered and join one of the checkout lines. Here we will weigh the fruit that you picked, apply the credit from the tickets you pre-purchased and check you out.
