在俄勒冈州，只有当你的嘴唇——还有手指——被草莓染得通红、被马里昂莓染得紫紫的，或者当你迫不及待地用叉子戳进那份用亲手采摘的水蜜桃现做的桃子馅饼时，才算真正迎来了夏天。

Oregon’s U-pick farms are so bountiful in the Salem area, even locals can find themselves scratching their heads about what’s in season, which farms to visit, and what to bring to the picking party.
Though every farm has its own rules, there are some universal tips for beginner U-pickers that can make the experience a win for everyone, including our local growers. Read on for ideas on how to reap the most from the Salem area’s summer harvest and then load up on juicy picks at one of the many local U-pick farms.
了解哪些是当季食材以及如何挑选
俄勒冈州的浆果季于6月拉开帷幕，首先上市的是草莓和覆盆子；樱桃也在6月开始成熟，所以请准备好你们的篮子。7月，丰收仍在继续，黑莓、蓝莓、波森莓以及俄勒冈特有的马里昂莓都变得饱满多汁，恰到好处。 七月是树上水果丰收的时节——杏、油桃和桃子纷纷成熟；而夏末则是苹果、梨和李子成熟的黄金时期。无论您采摘什么水果、何时采摘，都请务必掌握正确的采摘礼仪，这样既 能挑选到最成熟的水果，又能善待植物和果树。
出发前请做好功课
大多数农场都会在其网站和Facebook主页上发布关于农场政策以及可供自采的水果和浆果的最新信息。出发前请先做好功课，因为有些农场会以低价提供采摘容器，而有些则要求您自带容器。规模较小的农场可能只接受现金或支票支付，部分农场还要求大型团体提前预约。有些自采农场甚至设有面包房、商店、野餐桌和餐车，这有助于您提前规划午餐。
提早到场，着装得体
请为家人准备舒适的包头鞋、长裤、长袖衬衫和帽子，以保护他们免受带刺藤蔓、蜜蜂和阳光的伤害。带上防晒霜和充足的饮用水，最好在农场刚开门时就到达，因为那时阳光还不太强烈。由于较小的农场往往在下午早些时候就被采摘一空，所以“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”——或者说“早起的鸟儿有蓝莓吃”。
请尊重农场
许多自采农场也是农户的住所，因此最好将一切保持原样。请注意保护农场环境并顾及其他采摘者，驾驶时请减速慢行，遵守相关规定，并在探索非指定区域前征得许可。此外，请轻柔对待植物和树木，并看管好在农场动物周围玩耍的孩子。只要大家保持耐心、相互理解并通力合作，就能确保每位参与者都能度过一个愉快的自采体验日。
