Tips To Make Your U-Pick Farm Visit Successful

You’ve got enough to worry about, what with piles of laundry, a sink of dishes, and being stuck in traffic on the way to baseball practice (I’m lookin’ at you, hwy 150!). Let’s make your u-pick experience as smooth as possible!

1. Bring what you need. We provide the container and flower snips. 

1. Water bottle 

2. Farm-appropriate shoes 

3. Phone/camera

4. You may want gardening gloves 

5. You may want bug spray  

2. Important Information

1. Firstly, when is the farm open? Usually Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as Saturday morning. Be sure you have purchased a ticket online before you come.

2. Where is the farm located? 169 Judas Road in Troutman. Google maps will take you right to us. Look for the scalloped white sign and you’re there! 

3. Things to consider

1. How many people are you coming with? Depending on how many flowers you want to walk away with, each person in your group could pick their own personal cup OR your group could share a bulk bucket. 

2. Are there certain types of flowers or colors you’re looking for? Don’t hesitate to ask me, Devery, before you come. 

3. Check the weather. If it’s going to be a downpour, we will offer you a rain check. 

4. Babies should probably be worn rather than pushed in a stroller—dirt is bumpy and, well, dirty! 

4. Once you get home… 

1. Put your flowers in fresh, clean water

2. Add your complimentary flower food packet 

3. Place them in a vase that is so clean, you could drink from it. 

4. Change the water every 2-3 days, as well as re-cut the stems 

5. Keep your flowers out of direct sunlight and away from ripening fruit

We’re gonna have a great time!!
