What Produce Can You Buy or Pick at Lattin Farms?

Updated

Lattin Farms grows and sells a large variety of produce seasonally on the farm, and the specific list changes with the season rather than staying fixed year-round. If you want to know what's available right now, the farm points you to the Produce section of its Food page, which lists both what it grows each year and what is currently in season. Buying from the farm stand and picking your own are two different activities here: the site lists "Produce" and "Pick your own" as separate offerings, so you should check each one for current availability before you go.

What the farm says about its produce

The farm's own description is deliberately broad: it grows and sells "a large variety of produce seasonally on the farm." It frames this as a quality choice — working with the seasons means produce grows in the best environment, which the farm says creates the best-tasting food.

What the site does not do is publish a fixed crop list on the homepage. Instead, it directs visitors to a dedicated list:

  • What we grow each year — the farm's annual crop list
  • What's in season — the current availability list

Both live in the Produce section of the Food page.

Buy vs. pick: two different things

The homepage separates these into distinct entries, which matters when you're planning a visit:

Option What it means Where to check
Produce Buying what the farm has grown and is selling Produce section of the Food page
Pick your own Harvesting in the fields yourself Produce section / Pick your own listing

The site also lists Produce, Pick your own, Fall Festival, Field Trips, Baked Goods, and Jarred Products as separate offerings. So if your goal is specifically to pick rather than buy, don't assume the two are interchangeable — confirm that picking is open for the crop you want.

Seasonal timing shapes everything

Because availability is seasonal, the calendar matters as much as the crop list:

  • Summer season (now through Sep 25): Growers Market open 9:00 am–6:00 pm Mon–Fri, 10:00 am–4:00 pm Saturday, closed Sunday.
  • Fall season (Sep 26–Oct 31): Growers Market open 10:00 am–5:00 pm Mon–Sat, closed Sunday.
  • Fall Festival: begins Saturday, September 26 and runs every Friday and Saturday through October 31, 10:00 am–8:30 pm.

Note that the Fall Festival hours (until 8:30 pm) are longer than the Growers Market hours on the same days, so if you're visiting in the evening, the market itself may already be closed.

How to check what's available before you go

  1. Go to the Food page and open the Produce section.
  2. Look at the what's in season list for current availability.
  3. Cross-check the what we grow each year list if you're planning around a specific crop.
  4. Confirm whether your crop is offered as pick-your-own or only as pre-picked produce.
  5. Match your visit to the correct season's market hours (summer vs. fall).

Common snags

  • Assuming the homepage lists crops. It doesn't — the crop and season lists are on the Food page's Produce section.
  • Using summer hours after September 25. Hours shift when the fall season starts.
  • Planning an evening market run during the Fall Festival. Festival hours extend later than Growers Market hours.
  • Expecting the same produce year-round. The farm explicitly ties its offerings to seasonal growing.
