Before Picking
Confirm availability prior to visiting by checking the website branstoolorchards.com or calling ahead. There will be days when pick your own is closed to allow for more fruit to ripen so always check first before coming to the farm.
Limit the size of picking parties. Only those with our picking containers may enter the orchards.
Arrive before 3:45pm. No entry after 4pm.
Check-in at the market or at the U-Pick Shed prior to entering the fields. It is extremely important that you get detailed instructions as things change daily.
Pre-pay for PYO fruit. Only containers provided by the orchard will be permitted for picking. At least one half peck container for every 2 people in your group must be purchased. And at least a peck box must be purchased for every four people. Each additional person for either size box is $5 if the person is over age 5.
No personal bags—ex. backpacks, purses, diaper bags—are permitted in the fields.
While Picking
Do not eat fruit in the fields. You should wash all fruit at home prior to consuming it. No picnics in the orchard; please use the play area or the picnic tables near the market.
Bags and boxes can only be used once during your visit; do not empty them out and then refill while at the orchard. Don’t overfill the bags and boxes.
Do not throw any fruit on the ground. Any fruit you touch must go into your picking container. (Parents, watch your children!)
Only pick in the areas you are instructed to enter. Not all fruit is ripe at the same time.
Please exit the fields once you fill your containers. If you need more containers, please see our staff and we are happy to help you.
