How to Pick Your Tulips
When you see a tulip you want, reach down as close to the soil as close as possbile
Grasp the stem and pull straight up
You might get a flower bulb. Flower bulbs are cut off at checkout.
Pick as flowers as you like, but only pick what you intend to purchase.
Bulbs
You may pre-purchase bulbs for Fall pick-up.
Please do not dig up tulip bulbs in the tulip field.
When you dig up bulbs this early in the season, you damage the root system of the flower and all the tulips around it, causing them to die. Because the flower is getting picked, the bulb won't get the nutrients it needs to grow.
If you pick a tulip by accident, you cannot put it back in the ground. The tulip will die. Once you pick a tulip, it's yours. If you stick them back in the ground, it's a loss for the farm. It's like eating food and not paying for it, it's one of the reasons tulips are included in our admission price.
Entry Fee for U-Pick Tulips is $13 for adults and includes three tulips. Children over 2 is $5 and does not include flowers.
