Amazing experience getting to pick your own veggies. The owners are incredibly kind. They also make their own honey! Too bad we found them so late in the fall, will definitely be back next spring!

Laura was really helpful and welcoming! They have lots of veggies and fruits to choose from. You can pretty much pick whatever you want and take home. The prices were very reasonable almost like shopping at a grocery store but getting quality produce.

Amazing hidden gem! The owners are incredibly nice, and they had great seasonal selections. You can pick your own apples, walk through their property and sample their delicious honey. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting these local hard working farmers!

Love this place for garden produce. We always get a year's worth of honey in the fall but they have lots of fruits and vegetables coming ripe throughout the seasons. Where else can you pick raspberries in the fall?! Check out their website to see what is available each season.

We went on a sunday. They have a large variety of Apple and pumpkins. They have peppers and eggplants and potatoes and yams. They have blackberries blueberries and raspberries. You can go and buy what they pick or for a cheaper price so you can go and pick your own. They have a porta potty. It's just a little farm that has amazing produce. They do have a dog, just an fyi.

We really enjoyed thus u-pick garden setting. The owners were great. We were able to try different items before purchasing, and also talk about the different products they offered. My daughter had a great time exploring the gardens and orchard. We will for sure be going back!!

Bought honey and squash here last fall. We got to try the honey before we bought. Great experience!

Such a nice place, full of delicious produce and just wholesome. When I arrived, I thought all they had were tomatoes, but it soon became obvious that I missed a whole part of the farm with so much more! It was a great outdoor experience, the price was reasonable, and it was hard not to try and buy everything!

Such a cute place with a variety of fresh clean produce to hand pick from their huge gardens. Sunflowers, bees, honey, strawberries, apples, raspberries, tomatoes, onions, cantelope, watermelon, pumpkins and more! No admission costs and you only pay for what you pick to take with you!

Was great, not crowded. I think it was our bad timing but a lot of the pumpkins were rotting in the field (but we were late in the season). This is a nice, family run place to get pumpkins and other produce. They also have the sweetest husky and cats. (bonus!)

Upstream Gardens and Orchard has wonderful produce at great prices. The pick your own prices are usually less than the surrounding places. Sometimes quantities are not too large, but if you are on the mailing list, he keeps us up to date on the quantities. Our favorite products are raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and honey. He also offers great flower splits at the beginning of the season.

Went strawberry 🍓 picking. Lots to choose from, wasn't very busy as we arrived when picking open. No insecticide used on plants. Worth the drive.
