Start times for Harvest:

  • Week days:    3:00 PM – until completed
  • Saturdays:      8:00 AM – until completed.

Just a reminder:  Bruce mentioned that if you have individual from your wards that would like to start earlier than the regular start times that would be fine; however, please have them let the farm workers know that they are there picking and where.
            This information is needed so that the farm workers can make sure that the peaches are collected and placed in the refrigeration trucks in a timely manner.

Bruce also mentioned that it would be best to only have your youth groups assist with the harvesting on the last day of picking when the trees are stripped of all of the peaches.
