1. Educational Benefits
When you go to a Pick Your on Farm with your children they learn many things like where our food comes from, how to plant and harvest. They also get the chance to meet the Farmer or farm hands and get to see first hand what a farm does.
2. Environmental Benefits
Pick your Own Farms are a great way to reduce your carbon foot print and go green! Pick-your-own farms eliminate the need to drive large trucks back and forth to sell produce.
3.Communal Benefits
Going to a farm to pick fruits and vegetables fosters a sense of community. Visiting the farm gives your children a better understanding of interdependence and how farmers, consumers, and the earth are all connected.
