COLLECTION PERIOD

Generally pick-your-own broccoli begins in mid-September.
There is no minimum amount for pick up.
You can pick them yourself, or buy them already picked at the kiosk at the entrance.
It is possible to buy broccoli individually, already picked at the farm kiosk.
If you want large quantities, already picked, please let us know in advance.

HOW TO STORE THEM

Place the broccoli in a plastic bag that you will keep open in the fridge. Broccoli will keep for about a week.

​

IN THE FREEZER

Broccoli freezes very well. To do this, cut it into bouquets, immerse it in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then dry it and place it in freezer bags.
