• Check what is ready before you go. Crops come in waves, and farms close for the season when the fields are picked.
• Go early, or on a weekday. Weekends in season are the busiest days at most farms.
• Make a day of it. Many farms also have a farm stand, bakery or events, and the app shows what else is nearby.
