About This Farm
Basse's Farms at Colgate is the biggest picking operation in the region, with 1,384 Google reviews, and it runs two quite different seasons.
What You Can Pick
- Strawberries - mid June through about the 4th of July, with a wagon ride out to the field
- Apples - autumn, during Pumpkin Fest
- Pumpkins - $4.79 each
- Sunflowers and zinnias - $18.49 a bucket
What It Costs
Strawberry picking runs on its own daily hours and its own hotline. The autumn is different: Pumpkin Fest general admission is $14.99 to $23.99 plus tax depending on the day, and that does not include a pumpkin from the field. Apples come as a quarter peck bag per person, with additional bags at $8.95.
The farm is cashless in all seasons. Military and senior discounts are $2 off general admission with ID. Pumpkin Fest is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Good to Know
As of late August the strawberries read "U-Pick Strawberries: Closed For The Season" and the apples "U-Pick Apples: Coming Soon!". The farm's own advice is to check its What's Happening Now page before setting out, and it warns that "the store will close if u-pick strawberries close due to inclement weather."
Pro tip: June here is a farm, October is a festival. If you want quiet picking rather than a paid gate, come for the strawberries.
