SILVERTONAPPEAL.COM | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2021 | 3A U-pick Continued from Page 1A get home, they can go straight into the fridge. Bring larger cardboard boxes for tree fruit. Shallow is better than deep to prevent bruising. Remember to have your container weighed before you start picking and bring more than you think you need because you’ll often end up us- ing them. h Sunscreen & Hat - There may be some shade if you’re picking tree fruit, but picking berries often means stand- ing in the full sun. Prepare accordingly and your picking experience will be much more comfortable. h Water & Snacks - Few farmers would begrudge someone snacking on a few berries in the field, but it’s rude to treat a U-Pick excursion as though it’s a snack bar. Bring snacks, especially for kiddos, and plenty of water for every- one. h Bug Spray - In case the flies or mosquitoes are biting. h Long Sleeves - Having sleeves on is particularly helpful if you’re picking strawberries, the leaves of which are covered in micro hairs that irritate some peoples’ skin. They also protect against scratches from thorns on blackberries, raspberries, tayberries, etc. h Sturdy Shoes - Farms can be mud- dy places. Skip the sandals and opt for closed-toed shoes. h Cooler & Ice - If you’re picking ber- ries and you’ve got a bit of a drive home, having a cooler at the ready will help keep your berries from starting to turn to jam on the way back. h Cash - Some farms take credit/ debit cards, but many, especially small- er ones, do not. Bring cash and/or a checkbook. Farm owner Paul Snegirev holds Sweet Ann strawberries at Boones Ferry Berry Farm on Wednesday. The Sweet Ann and Hood varieties are ready for picking.
