Pick-Your-Own Farms
 Over 200 Pick-Your-Own (PYO) or U-Pick farms across the state offer one
of the most fun ways for consumers to enjoy locally grown foods. Many farmers
have transitioned from wholesaling, to retailing, via farmstands, PYO,
and farmers' markets. These options, which eliminate the middle level cost
of distribution, gives the farmer the opportunity for higher profitablility.
If you offer PYO, and would like to be listed in the state-wide PYO publication, contact Rick LeBlanc.
If you would like to be a member with the Mass. Association of Roadside
Stands and PYO Farms, which includes you on their consumer directory, visit
them at www.MassFarmstands.com. To receive a copy of their directory, click here.
Every PYO farm should display a poster board which states the law regarding
liability. Copies of these can be furnished from Mass. Farm Bureau at 508-881-4766.
