“Great place with good prices for delicious food. I just found this place towards the end of the season. Now I question why I ever went to the grocery store for my veggies. It takes some time to walk through the farm and pick what you need since it is not clearly labeled but scattered a bit. Still definitely worth it. They have a stand with picked items or you can get a wagon with a basket and pay for anything that can fit in it. Certain items like watermellon goes by amount. This place is better on the wallet than grocery stores in my opinion.”
“The best place to pick your own produce. Prices are highly reasonable for the amount you get! Produce is extremely high in value and beyond better than the grocery store. Fun to take the kids and pick our own !!! I highly suggest getting the crates and making your own pickled jars, canned goods, salsas, tomato sauces. I’ve had great success in the flavor value these crops produced in my cooking. Oh and not to mention most important part!!! No pesticides, just pure sun, water and love.”
“Update: Still great produce, prices & great service. U-pick or self pick from whats up front. Great spot & you’ll be glad you stopped here!! Cash & zelle accepted! Great selection of produce & pumpkins for fall. Hidden gem & worth the stop! The best pumpkins Ive ever bought!”
“It was my first time here and I’ll definitely be back! The vegetables are fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced. Friendly service, and you can tell they put a lot of heart and hard work into what they do (🫑🧅🥕🌽🌶️)”
“Great U-Pick, also the nicest guys. No pesticide use that I know of, and reasonable fair prices. Note google has location wrong - farm stand is across street west of house at 42w 528 burlington west of dittman”
“I was just at Scott’s and he has a fabulous assortment of veggies and also some fruit. He is also offering U pick in the fields. I would highly recommend going there.”
“We love this place it is a huge field where you can pick the veggies you want and need to prepare canning food for late fall and winter.”
“The best U-pick in town! Great place with great owner. Come here every year for tomato and corn.”
