Excellent climate conditions, combined with ideal land terrain,
make Laporte County your best stop for the freshest grown fruits and vegetables.

U-PICK

A favorite event for a family outing is being able to go into the farmland
or orchard and carefully pick the juciest of the crop.
Educational, entertaining, and delicious (you must taste when you pick).

FARMERS MARKETS/STORES
For those unable to participate in the fun of a U-Pick trip,
produce is available at local farmer markets, farm stands, or farm stores nearby.
