The Tree Farm - The Farm! - Pick Your Own Farms Near Me - Cross Plains, Wisconsin

This place is literally one of my FAVORITE spots in the Madison area. I mean, where else can you get a TRUNK-FUL of veggies for less than $30?! Absolutely wonderful. They're open all through the growing season, and their website (thetreefarm.net) is updated daily with the stuff you can pick--along with descriptions of how the crops are doing. I go for the onions, peppers (there are SO many varieties!), kale, and popcorn, mostly. Yes, popcorn. You can pick the cobs right off the stalk, take them home to dry, and then stick the whole thing in a paper bag and microwave. Be sure to buy a bunch to last you through the whole winter. You can even pick flowers and make killer bouquets for your friends (*hint: a lot of the vendors at the Farmer's Market on the Square go here to pick and sell!). IF YOU LIKE CANNING, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. I've taken friends and boyfriends here and they all love it. It's so much fun to pick your own veggies (just be sure to keep a watchful eye on the guys--for some reason, their competitive nature makes them not want to stop, and suddenly you have more bell peppers than you know what to do with). There is a bathroom on-site (though I've never used it), and you have to bring your own bags. I like reusable produce bags, as regular plastic bags aren't always rugged enough. They ONLY take cash or local check--no plastic. DON'T FORGET! :) The couple who run the place are just lovely. Parking is ample, but it's just all along the dirt road that stretches next to the fields. A note on that dirt road: you will drive up a very steep, gullied road to get to the fields. Make sure your car can handle it. Throw it in low gear and prepare to have an amazing time--this place is pure gold! Be sure to get out there and get the last of everything before they close--last day is Nov. 6th, 2016! :) read more

Head out this way in late spring and summer time to find acres of fruits and vegetables waiting for you to pick them. It's lots of fun to drive around the countryside with your own baskets/bags and pick the produce that you want. They also have a healthy variety of flowers you can pick too, the kids really love that part. Good prices, good produce, good fun. They sell cut your own Christmas trees here too, but I've never been out there for that. This place is extra cool because they have a website that you can check to see whats in season and whats good pickin' that day before you head out there. Awesome! read more

This place is so much fun! The boy took me here and we picked two sacks of delicious farm fresh veggies for less than $5. A lovely way to spend the afternoon and to know where your food comes from. The prices are very reasonable and there is a lot of variety (everything from squash, hearty greens, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers to fresh cut flowers). The surrounding countryside is absolutely beautiful as well. read more

Still going strong. I heard a rumor they had closed. I think they are discontinuing the winter xmas tree business. Happily they are concentrating on the summer vegetable business. Great variety of vegetables and many kinds of each (probably a dozen or so peppers, 8 kinds of tomatoes, eggplants..) also things like bitter melons, herbs, and a variety of squashes. It's fun to see how these things grow. Beautiful setting and an excellent value. read more
