Free admission with military ID. Bring containers for "pick your own" fruits and vegetables. If you don't have any of your own containers they sell some for around a dollar, relatively inexpensive.
We paid for a container but didn't have to pay admission fees because we both had military IDs. We received our change but the staff member forgot to actually give me the containers I paid for. It was sorted out quickly when I returned to the window.
The fields were hot and pretty busy. We saw a lot of out of state license plates so it seemed kind of touristy. Two weeks into strawberry season the field seemed pretty picked over but we found enough to satisfy our needs. The strawberries were small but very sweet and had a distinctive strawberry flavor unlike the large varieties from California and Mexico in the grocery store. The black raspberry bushes and blueberries were plentiful and tasted excellent.
The prices were good. We got a small amount of Broccoli, 5 Kirby Pickling Cucumbers, and a tray of Blueberries, Strawberries, and Black Raspberries for around $20. There is a small shop at the check out area. The shop has drinks, icecream, Samascott cider, local honey, and NY Maple Syrup.
Your car will be searched and there is a wall of license plate numbers of people caught stealing and hiding undeclared fruit/vegetables in the car. Be warned, stealing is bad!! It was a fun experience and I would definitely go back. Next time I will bring water and sunscreen!!! read more
