U-Pick Harvest Day TENTATIVE

Join us to pick your own fresh produce from our demonstration farm fields!
At Food + Farm Exploration Center, our U-Pick Harvest Days are a hands-on celebration of Wisconsin agriculture. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, it is our mission to ensure everyone understands where their food comes from.
These free, family-friendly events invite you to step into our on-site demonstration fields to harvest your own farm-fresh produce and experience the "field to fork" journey firsthand. Grown with purpose, each crop helps us show what agriculture looks like today—and how it shapes our lives in Wisconsin and beyond.
EVENT DETAILS
• Free admission—no ticket required
• Planning to harvest green beans, potatoes, and cucumbers
• Weather-dependent (calendar date & time will be updated)
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
• We will provide bags, so please do not bring your own bags or containers.
• Dress for a farm setting—expect natural terrain and walking.
• Bring your own lawn chairs or blankets for a picnic!
