Plums

Pick-Your-Own is Finished for the Season

We have reached the end of PYO for this season. In some ways it is hard to believe that time of the year has arrived, yet in other ways I am ready for things to slow down and to get started on our winter projects to get ready for next season. In spite of many challenges this year, from COVID-19 to Spring Freezes and more, we were able to have a good PYO season. We are super thankful for our staff who stuck it out through many changes and challenges through the season and thankful to all of you who came out and picked and had patience with us as we navigated the challenges we faced this year. Strawberry season is about 6 months away, but will be here before we know it! Don’t forget our Market is still open all winter with plenty of delicious fruits and much more!

Season: Sugar Plums-Finished for the Season; August for Yellow and Red Plums

Pricing:

Pick-your-own plums are finished for the 2020 season. Check back in 2021 for pricing.

Picking Tips:

Look for mostly red plums to pick. They will ripen rapidly after picking, though, so a little green in the background will not be a problem.
Larger plums are riper.
Sugar plums grow in clusters, so carefully select the plum you want and avoid picking a whole cluster.
Pick them into a container no more than 10-inches deep, to avoid crushing the fruit.

How It Works

Please arrive at least one hour before closing time to allow enough time to check in and pick.

Checking In
When you arrive at the orchard, follow signs to the specially designated Pick-Your-Own (PYO) or U-pick fruit stations. Unless otherwise noted, there is no need to stop at the market first.

Where to Pick
We will show you where to pick and you can choose the container size you want. Pre-pay based on the size you choose which means no waiting in line after you’ve finished!

The Pick-Your-Own Experience
Pick-your-own fruit at Weaver’s is relaxing and kid-friendly, a chance to enjoy nature and pick sumptuous fruit. All of our apple and peach trees are dwarf trees, so most fruit will be within easy reach. Cherry trees are 80% dwarfs. We also close off rows that are not yet ripe, directing you to sections where you’ll find the best picking. We also mow and weed grassy areas to give you easy access to fruit.

Pick-Your-Own Guidelines

Please see our COVID-19 Policies for 2020 listed in the green box. Please observe all rules for the benefit of all of our customers and our farm.

Always check in at the PYO shed first to get picking locations and information.

We recommend wearing close-toed shoes, as bees, hornets and yellow jackets may be present on fallen fruit.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Pets are NOT allowed on our farm.

Please pick only in designated areas, which are carefully selected based on the ripening schedule of our fruit.

Paring knives are not permitted.

Do not climb or shake the trees. This will damage fruit and can break tree limbs.

If two or three fruits are clustered together, use two hands and gently pick all the fruit in the cluster.

If you drop any fruit on the ground, we ask that you please make every effort to pick it up and purchase it so that no fruit is wasted. Many labor-intensive hours go into the care of our crops.

Please dispose of trash in proper receptacles.

Please be considerate of all of our customers and observe our non-smoking policy.
