Frequently Asked Questions

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, all major credit/debit cards & Apple Pay.

Is your farm pet friendly?

Due to food safety, we do not allow any type of animals on our farm. Anyone with a service animal, as defined by ADA will be accommodated.

What is your weather policy?

Gieringer's reserves the right to close the picking fields due to inclement weather (heavy rain, thunder, lightning and/or high winds) without advance notice in order to protect their customers and employees.

Do you spray your fruit?

Yes, we are a conventional farm. We have a very intense IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program. We regularly scout our production fields to identify any potential problems before we select a treatment plan. This minimizes the need for costly treatments, but allows us to address fruit quality issues so we can continue to provide top quality produce.

Do I need to bring my own container?
