Fresh from the farm

Two reasons to head outside.

Take home flowers you picked yourself and strawberries straight from the field. There's plenty to discover at Murray Family Farms this November.

Experience 02

Strawberry U-Pick

There's nothing quite like picking strawberries straight from the plant. Head into the berry field, choose your favorites, and enjoy the satisfaction of bringing home fruit you picked yourself.

Picking information: Strawberry picking depends on what's ripe and ready that day. Ask our team about current picking containers and prices.

Strawberry and sunflower availability depends on growing conditions and harvest readiness. Some picking options may be limited or sell out during the day.
