Maine > State > Food & Drink > Pick Your Own Farms

A visit to Pick Your Own (PYO) farms and orchards is a fun way to get fresh berries, apples, and vegetables, and enjoy a day outdoors. Many farms also sell pre-picked produce that farm stands on the property. Before you head out for a day of picking check the farm website or call ahead. Weather conditions, rainfall, and other factors can cause normal harvest dates to shift. Farmers can tell you in in advance about picking conditions so you pick what you came to get! See farmer's markets also.
