Greig Farm at Red Hook opens every day of the year, nine in the morning until eight at night, which is more hours than any other farm in this region, and it picks something nobody else here does: asparagus. What You Can Pick In the farm's own list: "Asparagus, Strawberries, Snap Peas, Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Apples, Pumpkins", every day from May to October. What Else is Available A Farm Market and Café, a Barn Taproom, farm trails, a goat feeding area, a koi pond and various shops and galleries on the site. Good to Know Open 9am to 8pm, seven days, year round. Pro tip: pick-your-own asparagus is close to unheard of, because it is cut rather than picked and the window is about three weeks in May. If you are anywhere near Red Hook that month, this is the reason to come.

The Little Farmer sits ten miles north of Fond du Lac above Lake Winnebago and runs the most organised picking operation in the region: everything starts at the U-Pick Shed by the car park. What You Can Pick Apples - buy a bag at the shed, then walk or take the hayride to the orchard Pumpkins - priced by size ring, six sizes, with sizing stations around the farm How It Works In the farm's own words: "Conveniently located next to the parking lot this is your one stop shop to purchase both pumpkins and bags to go pick your own apples." At weekends there are free tractor-driven hayrides out to both the pumpkin field and the apple orchard, and the shed will point you to a scenic walk instead if you would rather. The pumpkin pricing is unusually neat: "All our pumpkins are sold by their size using 'size rings'. There are six different sizes and we offer stations throughout the farm for you to size your pumpkin. Every register has a set of size rings so we can do the dirty work for you." The U-Pick Shed opens at weekends only, because it works as a school tour hub during the week. On weekdays you buy your pumpkin at the register in the Applehouse. Good to Know Open early August through 31 October, 8am to 6pm weekdays and 10am to 6pm at weekends, then shorter hours through November. 1,055 Google reviews, the second most in the region. Pro tip: the size ring system means a small pumpkin is genuinely cheap and there is no haggling at the till. Bring a wagon-sized ambition rather than a car-boot one.
