U-Pick Days
Bright skies & bountiful blooms!
There’s something magical about being among the beautiful flowers in the fields on our farm. This year we’re excited to host more opportunities to share the experience with you.
You can come to pick one time or purchase a season pass for the summer. Season pass members can attend up to four u-picks at a discounted cost.
Bring a friend to share a bucket and introduce them to our mission. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome in the fields, too. U-pick days are rain or shine, unless the weather becomes dangerous.
“We’re always looking at our farm programming to find ways for more survivors to participate,” says Diane Fleet, associate director. “It will take a lot of extra hands to keep the u-pick fields healthy and full through the summer months.”
Survivors receive a weekly stipend to help grow and care for the flowers in the fields.
The variety and colors of the flowers will change with the season. The most prolific flowers on the farm include Ageratum, Celosia, Cosmos, Gomphrena, Rudbeckia, Sunflowers, and Zinnia.
“Opening the farm to the community is meaningful for everyone,” shares Diane. “You’ll get a bucket of beautiful blooms and make a lasting impact.”
A survivor recalls looking out into the fields during last year’s u-pick event and thinking, “All of these people care about us—me and my children.”
