Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Western counties in Massachusetts? Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Western counties in Massachusetts,
sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
(see "What does Organic mean?").
The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for
a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this
page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined;
click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or
inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
New! As inflation remains high, see this page for
reliable (tested) brands of generic canning lids at lower
costs, and cost-saving measures for
getting fruit and vegetables and home canning.
If you are having a hard time
finding canning lids, I've used these, and they're a great price & ship in 2 days.
New! Road tripping and camping is a great way to have a fun, safe and inexpensive
family trip. The national and state parks and monuments are open, and campgrounds usually cost between $10 and $40 per night. September to November is the best
camping weather. See our new website Road Tripping and Camping.com for tips, tricks,
guides, checklists and info about parks, monuments and other places to visit.
New! We just went live with our latest website,
FunFactoryTours.com - As they name implies, you can find a fun factory tour, including chocolate, automobiles, historical forts and sites, famous buildings,
Active Federal facilities even fun geology: like fossils and volcanic areas
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! This website is supported by purchases you make

What's in season in July 2025, and other timely information:
Notes for July 2025: Spring is here! Strawberry season
is here. It started in February in Florida, Texas, southern California and a few other areas of the
Deep South; 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. 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
crop calendar (see this page) and call your local farms for
seasonal updates.

Strawberries, flowers, honey
Comments from a visitor on August 20, 2014: "I just discovered this web site. It is
fantastic and I won't venture out to a farm again without checking it out
unless I am already familiar with the farm. Overlook in Brookfield is
probably as close to organic as you can get without being certified organic.
Nice people and well run. Charlton orchard gives a dumpy appearance and has
inadequate signage. Will not go there again. Thanks again for a very helpful
web site."
Comments from a visitor on June 08, 2014: "Hello, I called a few farms listed for pick
your own strawberries; Overlook Farm in Brookfield don't seem to do it. We've
driven by and called this one. Seems the number you have listed isn't theirs
either going by their FB and website listing. We've been trying to find a
good farm close to our home since we love going as a family and while there
are lots of apples picking places all the other fruits are lacking. Stinks
to drive an hour if we want to pick strawberries. Charlton Orchards, as you
can see by the reviews, isn't the best place. My husband has dealt with the
owners for other business and they were rude as well as not having the best
kept farm so we've avoided going there. Thank you for keeping this site up,
its been very helpful in the past. "
Comments from a visitor on June 23, 2011: (positive) "We liked the farm, we went strawberry picking
with our home-school group a couple of years ago, and went again this year
with my kids,(last years strawberries were hit by frost so we didn't go)
always friendly help, and great for the kids, lovely old farm -highly
recommend this farm! I know that the honey is free of everything and they
practice sustainable farming, don't know if they are certified organic."
