G and S Orchards is a working farm. We encourage you to experience a real farm by harvesting the fruits and vegetables from our fields and orchards for your own use. We ask that you and your family respect this privilege. We also ask that you respect our property, our employees and the rules. Please treat the farm as if it were your own. We want the You Pick experience to be enjoyable for every one.

Thank you,
Gary and Stephanie Craft

You Pick Tips!

• Fruit is fragile and should be placed in the containers. Never drop or toss, it will bruise.
• Do not pick under-ripe fruit. It will not get ripe or sweet once picked.
• Raspberries – do not pick with the stems on… the fruit will easily release from the cap when ripe.
• Strawberries – do not pull on the berry use the stem and cap to protect the fruit when picking.
• Apples, Cherries, Currants, Gooseberries and Strawberries will keep longer if picked with the stems.
• Blueberries and Juneberries will keep longer if berries are picked individually. Do not grab a handfull. This will smash the fruit.
• Refrigerate your fruit and vegetables as soon as possible.
• Always wash your fruit and vegetables before eating.
