U-Picks

There are several ways to get fresh produce in the Vernon area and one of them is to pick it yourself. We have several to choose from, including Peter's UPick at 6244 Rimer Road where there are about 2,000 trees to pick from. You can also get Baba's blueberries and Baba's garlic, as well as some of Baba's freshly picked garden veggies, all grown on site.
