U-PICK PEAS AT ROWE'S PRODUCE FARM

USUALLY 1-2 WEEKS IN JUNE

During the pick your own season it is always a good idea to call to find out picking conditions before you head to the farm. At our farm you are allowed to drive your vehicle to the fields to pick. We have containers for measuring the peas but we take a deposit for the baskets and you can either keep them or we pour the peas in a bag and refund the deposit. Children are always welcome but MUST be supervised well, for their safety. Dogs are allowed but we ask they be kept on a leash and in the driveways, not the fields, so as not to disturb other customers. There are trash cans at the barn and we do ask that you do not leave any trash in the fields. At the checkouts we accept cash or credit cards.

The best thing to do is call for updates starting June 1, like Rowe's Produce Farm on "Facebook or get on "THE LIST" . If you are on "THE LIST" you will get emails when we are picking. You can sign up for "THE LIST" by sending us an email via the Contact Us page. When you get your pea picking email that means the task is at hand, don't wait, it is a good idea to call and plan to come out as soon as possible. The picking season can be very short due to weather conditions. We always have some customers that come at the end of the season that got their notice 3 weeks ago but were too busy at that time and they miss out on the really great picking.

After checking in and getting your baskets at the barn you are directed how to get to the fields. LISTEN to all the directions given by the staff to make sure you are headed to the right place. You then drive your vehicle into the field and are directed where to park and which field has the BEST picking. Traffic flow is essential to running a smooth operation. You MUST follow directions on where to park and pick or you will be asked to leave. We have the most acreage dedicated to U-Pick peas in Michigan. What that means is our customers are ALWAYS in the best picking we have. We are constantly monitoring where the best spots are and get the customers to them. A lot of people are finding that they can stop by after work and still have great picking in the evening.

We do not assign rows for people to pick, you are told to pick in a certain field or area of a field. You are free to wander and look for all the peas you want. After picking you then drive to the barn and check out. There are also cold drinks and other items available.

We have Sugar Snap peas and English Shelling peas to pick sometime in June. Sugar Snap peas (edible pod) usually start near mid June. The English Shelling peas are a little later than that. You can call the farm for pea picking updates or if you are on "THE LIST" you will get email updates on the peas. You can get updates by liking Rowe's Produce Farm on Facebook and monitoring happenings there. Most years we are open 1-2 weeks but depending on the weather, the season can be short.
