Frequently asked questions
What's in season right now in North Dakota?
It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak mid-June through late June; sweet corn peak early August through late August; apples peak early September through mid-September.
When does the market season start in North Dakota?
The first local crops (asparagus) show up around early May, and the boards fill from there.
Where can I go u-pick in North Dakota?
We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in North Dakota, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
