U-Pick farms open for season

U-Pick farms in Snohomish, including Swans Trail Farm, opened for the season, inviting families to harvest strawberries. On Saturday, June 14, Adrienne Mueller helped her children—Noah, 6, Sophia, 3, and Nathan, 7—from Bellevue fill their berry box. This hands-on experience allows visitors to take home their harvest, promoting both immediate enjoyment and preservation for later use. U-Pick farms have grown in popularity, enhancing local agriculture and community ties. By participating in these activities, families connect with nature and learn about food sources.

Local farms like Swans Trail contribute to the region's economy by attracting visitors and supporting sustainable practices. The U-Pick experience encourages healthy eating habits among children, fostering a love for fresh produce. As more families seek outdoor activities, U-Pick farms provide a fun and educational option.
