Why Current Picking Conditions Matter
Weather Changes the Week

Fresh Updates Save Trips
A current picking report helps visitors know what is available before driving to Brockport from Rochester or nearby Western NY towns.
The Best Visit Starts With a Check
Use the current picking conditions page, seasonal calendar, and farm contact information together. The calendar helps with planning; the current report helps with the actual weekend.
