Fruit picking is the process of harvesting ripe fruits from trees, bushes, or plants. This activity can be done by hand or with the help of tools, depending on the type of fruit and the scale of the operation. Common fruits picked include apples, berries, and peaches. Many farms offer U-Pick options, allowing visitors to pick their own fruits directly from the fields. This not only provides fresh produce but also promotes outdoor activity and connection with nature. Fruit picking is often a seasonal activity, with different fruits available at various times throughout the year.
