Visiting Tekla Farms
We can’t wait to welcome you
We are so excited to welcome the community to our farm during our blueberry u-pick season and for special events! Here’s what you need to know.
Is the farm open today?
Visit during posted u-pick hours only
Tekla Farms is a private working farm, not a public park. The gate is open to visitors during u-pick hours and special events, posted each week on our email list and Instagram. Please don’t drop by outside those times. Flower delivery, floral design and house accounts run year-round by appointment, so you never need the gate to be open to order flowers.
Farm rules, kindly
Here’s what you need to know
This is a working multi-interest farm — please respect our space and livestock, and stay in the u-pick field areas. This is not a public park and all attendees must check in with us before entering the field.
- No petting, feeding or taunting livestock.
- No free-range children please — keep a close eye on you and yours so everyone can enjoy the farm safely.
- While we are big animal lovers, we do not allow outside animals of any kind for the health and safety of our farm. If you need to bring a registered service dog, please email us at hello@teklafarms.com ahead of time.
- Our fields may have uneven ground and are not paved. Closed-toe shoes are recommended. Pathways are wheelchair and stroller accessible.
- We accept cash, check, Venmo and card. WA State sales tax will be added to applicable purchases.
- Please use our provided sanitized snips for picking flowers and follow instructions for proper cutting of flowers. This ensures we will enjoy more blooms and have a longer season.
- We love seeing your photos — please tag us @teklafarms. However, we do not allow professional photography during open u-pick times. Please get in touch about scheduling a special session!
- Restrooms: we have one porta-potty available for customer use.
- Cold water, a hat and sun protection are always a good idea for hot days.
- Treat your produce with love — please don’t leave it in a hot car.
We are protected under WA State Agritourism laws, RCW 4.24.835.
