General admission fees are charged for those wanting to pick berries and play at Farm Funland. For the most up-to-date information regarding berry picking times and this year's availability, call the farm before your visit.

The farm also hosts field trips and offers fishing opportunities, a small playground, and a picnic area. Visitors can bring their own bucket or borrow one of the farm's picking buckets. We love this place because it does not use pesticides or chemicals on its fruits and veggies!
