Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Minnesota.
- Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
- Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
- Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained; berry juice and field mud travel home with you.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Great place for the true pumpkin picking experience! They have many fields and we found some really nice pumpkins. The parking and admission are free and the price of everything else is very reasonable. There are some cute photo opportunities and decorations around the farm. Activity wise there are some little cars for smaller kids to ride on, tic tac toe with pumpkins, wagon rides, and a silo you can go inside and slide out of. Very friendly people and a really great place for families!”
