One of our best offerings here at Farm Star Living is our Farm Finder, if we do say so ourselves. We have made it more easy than ever to find farms near you that offer this fun activity – and dozens of others , too! Just go to our Farm Finder and look right under our category U-Pick/Pick it. Whether you pick a state or want to see all of them in the USA, we have them there for you!

But what's in season, you ask? We have it all right here for you! eads up on what will be in season in the upcoming weeks. Not only that - but we will include some of our favorite berry farms to get you started!
