The CDC, FDA and USDA have no reports at this time of human illnesses that suggest coronavirus can be transmitted by food or food packaging. U-pick operations are unique with customers going into the field or orchard to do their own harvesting. As a result, Demarest Farm has put the following rules in place for the 2022 apple picking season.

1. When we get closer to the PYO season we will post a reservation system, on the Pick Your Own Apples Page on our website.
2. We will also announce on social media. (Facebook)
3. You MUST MAKE A RESERVATION, on our system. This will give you a date and time to arrive at farm. This way we can manage proper social distancing and COVID 19 regulations.

5. Visits will be limited to your reservation time frame.
6. When arriving at the farm you will be directed to a designated parking area for PYO.
