Notes for April 2021: Spring is here and that means Strawberry season is upon us!  It started in February in Florida, Texas, southern California; then March along the Gulf coast, April in the Deep South and west coast, May through much of the country, and June in northern areas. Cherries and Blueberries are next, about a month later. Of course, cool weather crops, like Rhubarb, asparagus and greens should be available almost everywhere. Check your area's copy calendar (see this page) and call your local farms for seasonal updates.

Also note, there are many copycat website listing U-pick farms now.  They have all copied their information from here and usually do not ever update.  Since 2002, I've been updating the information every day but Christmas; so if you see anything wrong or outdated, please write me!

    A visitor writes on July 16, 2016: "just read about this orchard in the Cowtown member\s newspaper (July 2016). An old homestead of their ancestors was donated years ago. This orchard was one of the first in Wichita; having been in existence since 1885! The orchard suffered a near fatal blow years ago when underground salt water contaminated their water supply. They replanted their peach orchard in 2015(?), but a crop will not be ready until 2017. Other items have recovered well and are available as they come in season. They also have a reBorn store on premises. My knowledge of this orchard is very limited, so I would encourage you to call and get additional information. I am planning a visit next month when they will have watermelon and cantelope."
