FAQs
General Questions
Can I give a PickersPass or LocaBox as a gift?
You sure can! Our memberships make wonderful gifts for anyone who loves fresh food, time outside, and supporting local farms. Just enter the recipient’s information at checkout and we’ll take care of the rest.
When will my Wagon Ride Tickets arrive?
Wagon ride tickets are mailed or emailed each spring, usually in May. Keep an eye out — they’re your golden ticket to summer fun.
Can I bring my dog?
We love pets, but the FDA says they can’t join us in the growing areas. Please leave furry friends at home when visiting the fields.
Are you hiring?
We often are! Check out the Story section of our website — we’d love to meet folks who enjoy working with people, plants, and sunshine.
LocaBox (CSA Share)
What’s inside a LocaBox?
Each LocaBox is a weekly selection of 6–10 seasonal fruits and veggies, harvested at peak ripeness. Most are grown right here at LocaBerry, and occasionally we include items from trusted neighboring farms. It’s like opening a box of summer, every week.
Who is a LocaBox for?
LocaBox is perfect for households of 2–4 people who enjoy eating fresh, local, and seasonal foods. If you love discovering new varieties and cooking with what the land gives us each week, you’ll feel right at home.
What if I’m away for pick-up?
Life happens — vacations, road trips, busy Thursdays. If you can’t make the regular pick-up time:
We’ve set up a convenient after-hours pick-up spot in the barn.
You can swing by on Friday or Saturday instead.
Just remember: your LocaBox is always freshest on Thursday, right after harvest!
And of course, a friend or family member is welcome to pick up your share for you.
PickersPass & PickersPass+
When can I use my PickersPass?
Blueberry season typically runs July 7 through August 10, and our fields are open 8 am–5 pm daily. Come as often as you’d like — this season is for savoring.
How does the PickersPass work?
Your PickersPass gives you the freedom to visit throughout blueberry season and harvest up to 5 lbs of blueberries at your own pace. Pick them all on one perfect summer morning, or spread your visits out — it’s totally up to you. If you fall in love with the berries and pick extra, you can always purchase more at the farm stand.
How do I pick berries?
When you arrive:
Visit the PYO Information Board at the Café & Market — it’ll tell you which fields and varieties are open.
Wash your hands and grab a harvest bucket with a fresh liner, or bring your own bucket (we’ll still give you a liner).
Head into the fields and enjoy the quiet, the birds, the breeze — and the berries, of course!
Bring your harvest back to the store to weigh and record your pick.
If this is your first time picking:
Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes — the fields can be uneven.
Enjoy the sun but bring water and sunscreen.
No pets in the fields (we know… we wish they could come too).
Start with clean hands for food safety.
Pick only ripe berries; if you’re unsure, we’re happy to show you.
Above all: have fun. Picking is meant to be slow, sweet, and joyful.
What comes with PickersPass+?
PickersPass+ includes everything from the standard pass plus picking access to our flowers and peaches! These crops open at different times throughout the season, and we’ll keep you in the loop.
How do I use PickersPass+ for flowers and peaches?
When those crops are ready, we’ll host designated picking days. Just keep an eye on your email, Farmer Jameson will keep you updated! When you arrive we’ll get you set up with tools, tips, and everything you need for a great harvest.
How will I know what’s ready to pick?
We send weekly seasonal email updates to all PickersPass members so you’ll always know what’s ripe, what’s opening soon, and what’s worth planning for.
