Have your pick of fruits and vegetables at Bailey Farm

EVERETT — If you have a hankering for fruits and vegetables right from the source, but don’t have room for a garden, Bailey Farm has you covered.

The u-pick farm offers rows upon rows of fruits and vegetables ready to be plucked from the vine or pulled from the ground. The farm offers more than 50 acres of produce that can be picked from June through October.

While the farm got its start in the early 1900s as a dairy farm, in 1986, the Bailey family introduced the u-pick side of the farm. Although the dairy side is no longer operational, it is still a family-run farm, with Anne Bailey-Freeman and Liz Bailey, the fifth generation of Baileys, working on the farm.

“The appreciation that people have, that’s what makes it a great job,” Bailey-Freeman said about u-pick. “Because people are so appreciative that we opened it up.”

While the strawberry season has passed, raspberries will be available throughout July. Also ready to be picked this month are lettuce, garlic, snap peas, onions, green beans, zucchini, pickling cucumbers, potatoes and more.

Later in the year, fall crops like pumpkins and apples will become available. What sets Bailey Farm apart from other u-pick farms is the variety of what you can pluck, Bailey said.

“There’s not a lot of places to pick potatoes, right?” she said.

Amy Kovich has been working at the farm since she was 14 years old. Her favorite part of the last eight years of work is watching the families enjoy what the farm has to offer.

“It’s just really cool that people are getting out of the house and aren’t just going to a regular grocery store, they’re making a fun day out of it,” she said.

On one of Kovich’s recent shifts during June’s strawberry season, she recalled kids running around in their strawberry-themed shirts and hats.

“They’re just so excited, and they’re talking to me, being like, ‘Oh, I picked all these berries,’ I’m like, ‘Good job, you did so good,’” she said. “So that’s definitely a highlight of every single shift.”

If you go

Once the produce is ready to be picked, the farm is open every day at 12629 Springhetti Rd in Snohomish. Every year is a little different, as the weather and foot traffic impact what’s available. The Baileys recommend visitors check the website before visiting.
