The summer harvest is coming in fast in Erie County! First was strawberries, then cherries and now it's time for pick-your-own raspberries and blueberries.
Here are four Erie County farms where you can take your kids to pick raspberries or blueberries right now.
Three things to note before heading out:
- Farms can sometimes change hours on short notice depending on weather, fruit availability, and other factors. It's best to call ahead to make sure pick-your-own is available that day.
- Bring your own containers or bags. Many farms charge extra for containers.
- Bring cash. Some of the farms don't take credit cards.
