A U-Pick farm, also known as a You-Pick or Pick-Your-Own (PYO), is a farm operation with a farm-to-table strategy where customers do the harvesting themselves. PYO farms are popular by those that prefer fresh, high-quality, vine-ripened produce at lower prices. U-Pick farms may also offer special services or products including baked and cooked foods, landscaping services, plants, flowers, seeds, herbs, and homemade crafts.
U-Pick operations are an alternative selling method that has several advantages, which include:
- Direct sales with lower prices and higher profits
- No need for seasonal labor or transportation costs
- Lower packaging costs
- Income is in hand as customers leave the farm
- Entry fees can be charged to allow customers to eat as they pick produce
U-Pick farms do have some disadvantages, however. These include:
- Farmer must accept local price for their produce
- Longer hours for the farmer
- Supply outweighs demand
- Insurance liability issues
