U-Pick Farm Tours
Each season here at Tanaka Farms provides a different farm tour experience! Bring the entire family for a fun and educational tour of a real working farm! All of our farm tours are led by a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide.
Most of our tours include a guided wagon ride around our beautiful thirty-acre farm, making several stops in the fields along the way to pick fruits and vegetables right where they grow!
Your friendly tour guide will teach you about our farm’s history and the responsible farming methods used to grow our crops. All tours include admission to the farm, visiting our Barnyard Educational Exhibit, and play area, as well as many photo opportunities to commemorate your visit with friends and family. In addition, all of our tours are available for Field Trips and Private Group Reservations.
All Pickers (Ages 3 and up): Mon-Fri $20 | Sat, Sun, & Holidays $24 Children 2 and under are FREE and do not require a ticket, but they do not receive items picked.
Military Servicemembers are FREE! Must show military ID at check-in to receive free admission. Free admission for the servicemember only. Retired, Veteran, or Active Duty. Thank you for your service!
All U-Pick Tours are subject to crop availability and can change at the last minute due to weather, infestation, ripeness, and many other factors that come along with a real working farm. We reserve the right to substitute vegetables for berries if there are not enough ripe berries to pick. Thank you for your understanding.

U-Pick Wagon Rides
Throughout the year
Daily beginning February 3, 2024: Mon-Fri at 9:30am, 11am, 1pm, & 2:30pm |Sat & Sun at 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, & 2pm
Come on out to the farm for a U-Pick Wagon Ride that includes a wagon ride around the farm led by one of our friendly tour guides. You will make a few stops in the fields to pick your own produce. We will pick three different seasonal vegetables.* If there are ripe berries available to pick (blackberries or strawberries) we will pick berries + one vegetable. As a real working farm, it is difficult to know what will be ripe and ready to pick. We know that makes it hard for planning purposes, but we wouldn’t want our guests to be disappointed. After the wagon ride, visit the animals in our Barnyard Educational Exhibit!
This tour lasts about one hour.
