Masks



Masks are required to enter any building, when closer than 6' to an employee or fellow customer, and are encouraged during the rest of your visit.



Mutual pledge



Self certification



Farm employees will go through a self certifying process before every shift. We ask that you do the same before visiting. If you have any of these Covid -19 symptoms or come in contact with someone who does, please stay home:

  • Fever
  • Respiratory symptoms: sore throat, cough, or shortness of breath
  • Changes in sense of taste or smell
  • Flu like symptoms such as aches, chills, or severe fatigue


On Farm Etiquette



Thanks for following these guidelines



  • Hand washing and sanitizing stations will be readily available around the farm- please use them.
  • Please maintain 6' distancing between your group, our staff and other customer groups.
  • Masks are required to enter any building and are encouraged during the rest of your visit.
  • If you touch it, pick it. And thank you for not eating fruit in the field.

We developed our farm's covid-19 protocols by following the guidance from the Cornell Small Farms Program Covid -19 Best Management Practices. Linked just below!


Cornell best management practices for PYO farms

Packaging



Get your's at our new outdoor container booth!



Beginning July 6th we are again now again accepting personal containers from home or recycled farm packaging to be used for picking fruit into. We feel this policy does not increase the risk of Covid-19 transmission for employees or visitors.

Please remember that employees are not expected to handle your containers during the check out process and scales will be sanitized frequently.

We are excited to begin offering again the $.05/lb discount on the price of your fruit for those who recycle and minimize waste by taking advantage of this policy.
