September is the season for harvesting grapes like shine muscat and October is the season for Indian jujube. In addition, visitors can pick cherries in June! We recommend you to wear comfortable shoes when visiting the farm, and it is also a good idea to wear long pants as there can be mosquitoes, small bugs, etc. You will be provided scissors and a basket when harvesting. When you take the fruits to home, you will be charged by the total weight(kg) of the fruits. Hope Farm does not have a system to accept credit cards, so please bring enough cash with you.
During the fruit harvesting experience, the farm owner will let you taste a variety of fruits! Hope Farm does not use pesticides, so you can have the fruit right after simply dusting it off. If you’re too full to eat the fruit that the owner gives you, keep it in your basket and take it home after the experience is over. :)
Many families with children visit Hope Farm. However, please keep in mind that harvesting experience programs are not held simultaneously with other teams due to COVID-19.
Therefore, you may have to wait for your turn! Come and enjoy the fun fruit harvesting experience~
