Comments from a visitor on May 21, 2009: "They also have pick your own tomatoes and peppers and Fall Raspberries. The veggies picking always starts the 3rd weekend of August and runs until supplies last. Last years price was $15.00 per bushel. Bushel baskets themselves cost $2.00 each (bring your own containers!) Fall Raspberries start around early September (late August) and go until a hard frost. The light frosts make the berries sweeter. There are 2 patches to pick from. "
