Berry Picking on the North Fork: Farms to Visit for Fresh Finds

The North Fork is rich with pick-your-own farms where visitors can head straight into the fields for fresh, ripe berries. Whether you’re planning a fun outing with the family, carrying on a favorite tradition, or gathering fruit for pies, jams, or just eating by the handful, these U-pick spots offer a delicious way to connect with local agriculture.
