CHARLIE'S STORY
AN UNEXPECTED START
Charlie ran an ad in the local newspaper offering "Pick Your Own Tomatoes $5 bucket" after an abundant tomato crop in the 90s. Thus, after an overwhelmingly positive response, Charlie's U-Pik took root in what it is today.
​
After the first year, Charlie managed the U-Pik farm every summer, which is where the name "Charlie's U-Pik" originated.
​
With a bright smile and a cup of coffee, he made everyone feel like a friend, even if they had arrived as strangers.
​
Charlie was actively involved in the U-Pik until he passed away in 2018. We continue to operate our U-Pik farm with the same passion and dedication as Charlie.
FRESH QUALITY PRODUCE
Our aim is to consistently offer high-quality, fresh produce every year. We prioritize providing safe produce for our local community, ensuring you know exactly where your food comes from.
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Charlie's legacy lives on through his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids who currently manage the farm. Our goal is to uphold the values of integrity and kindness that honor our family's farming heritage while creating a welcoming and family-friendly environment for all.Whether you're a first-time visitor or a longtime friend of the farm, we want you to feel like part of our extended family at Charlie's U-Pik.
