Note: Beware Google's AI search answers - it MAKES UP NONSENSE. Also beware the copycat websites like the one that stole our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update the info! I make updates EVERY day. Obviously, I cannot check every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to all requests.  They don't. Don't support the scammers!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know!   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

  Comments from a visitor on June 02, 2012: "We went to visit this farm today and we had a wonderful time! This was the first time this farm has been open for the public to pick veggies. It was very nicely equipped with a large covered picnic area and restrooms. We were taken around the farm to pick our veggies. We picked squash, cherry tomatoes, green pepper, cucumbers, and creole tomatoes. At the end of our picking they had a really nice petting zoo. We were able to meet chickens, peacocks, calves, goats, sheep, donkeys, and rabbits. The kids had a great time!! It's a great place to bring the kids and pick a few veggies. The Liuzza family was truly wonderful. We can't wait to go back! Thank you for a great afternoon."
