McArthur’s Berry Farm General Instructions

Last updated: March 18, 2025

1. Check in/out: Before entering the strawberry patches find the check in/out location by the farmhouse to obtain instructions on where to pick and to buy baskets if you don’t have any containers with the metric volume clearly labelled on them.

2. Adult Supervision: We ask that families with young children stay close together and within their assigned picking areas.

3. Baskets/Containers: We will not be lending out baskets this year. You may bring your own baskets/containers if a metric volume is clearly shown on it otherwise you will have to buy a 3 or 4 Litre basket from us at $1.00/basket. Our preference is that you bring your own if available.

4. Payment: We have a credit/debit card machine that can be used for payment. It accepts contactless, chip & pin as well as magstripe payments. It is our preference that all payments be made through a card transaction over cash. However, please bring cash as well in case there are any issues with the credit/debit card machine.

5. Strawberry Picking:

a. Please no sampling (eating) the fruit while in the patch;

b. Please stay within your assigned picking area and pick cleanly within it;

6. No pre-picked strawberries: We will not be selling pre-picked strawberries this year. If you know of someone who is unable to pick their own, please consider picking for them.

7. Rhubarb for sale: We have limited quantities of rhubarb, but we do have some for sale.

8. Washrooms: Please be aware that there are no outdoor washrooms or running water available on site. We may allow customers into our home to use the washroom if in urgent need. If you need water to drink or wash your hands, please bring water with you.

9. Garbage: We consider garbage a health and safety hazard. We will have a garbage pail by the check out for patrons. We prefer however, that you take any garbage such as gloves, masks, etc., with you back home for disposal. It may be a good idea for you to have a bag in your vehicle for this purpose.
