It's the beginning of pick-your-own berry time in the Westfield-Southwick area!
We love supporting our local farmers and buying locally-grown produce and goods. Plus, it's fun for the whole family to get out and visit a pick-your-own (PYO) farm.
Here are four things to note before heading out to pick your own fruit:
- Pick-your-own farms can sometimes change hours on short notice dependent on weather, produce availability, and other factors. It's best to call ahead to make sure pick-your-own is available that day. Prices can also change from day to day.
- Bring your own containers or bags to avoid any extra charges!
- Bring cash as some farm stands and pick-your-own farms don't take credit cards.
- Some farms might still have rules or requests in place due to COVID. Please check their websites or social media sites before heading out!
