What can you pick?

Seasonal fruits and veggies across the season, plus flowers. What is ready changes week to week, and each pick is announced a few days ahead. Every crop has its own picking guide — how to spot a ripe one, how to pick it, how to clean and store it, and what to do when you have picked far too many.

How does a pick work?

Picks run about four times a week during the season, in three-hour morning slots. Book a spot or bring a season pass, pick as much as you like, and pay by the pound on the way out.

Book your spot

Picks are announced a few days out and spots go fast. Admission is $5 plus tax per person, or buy a season pass and skip the scramble.

Come out in the morning

The lot opens fifteen minutes before the first slot. Wear closed-toe shoes and a hat, and bring a bag you do not mind getting dirty.

Pick it, weigh it, take it home

Pick as much or as little as you like, then pay by the pound on your way out. If you pick it, you have bought it, so keep an eye on little hands.

Meg wrote the book on pick-your-own

Megan Neubauer started Pure Land with her father Jack in 2012 and has spent a decade proving that a small farm can build its whole business around people coming out to the field. She teaches that model to other farmers through her book and an online course built from a full season.

Visit the farm

Pure Land Farm is 10 minutes from Historic Downtown McKinney, just 30 minutes north of Dallas. If it’s not during a pick, we are closed!  Please do not drop by, we do not permit walk-ins. When we’re closed to visitors, we’re working on our plantbabies.
