Pick apples, berries, flowers, veggies, and<br />
more at farms across the region. Use the<br />
chart on page 73 to find u-pick farms by<br />
product.<br />
Farm Stands range from self-serve<br />
sheds to year-round stores. Take a drive<br />
through country roads and buy straight<br />
from the farm.<br />
Stay at area farms to experience<br />
beautiful views and fresh food. You don’t<br />
have to travel far for a mountain getaway.<br />
Activities on the farm can range from<br />
guided tours to classes and workshops to<br />
seasonal farm dinners. Check farm listings<br />
and websites to see what these farms offer<br />
to visitors.<br />
Always contact the farm before visiting, as offerings may change<br />
throughout the year. Find contact information and more details at<br />
