St. Michael Fresh Pickin’s

08/14/2025

The Brooklyn Park and Chanhassen stands are looking for some part time help to finish up the year.

We’re looking for a little extra help to finish out the season! 🌽🍉🍈

Fresh Pickins is open every day with our famous white sweet corn, locally grown produce, and fresh melons. As we get into late August and September, some of our team heads back to school or other jobs — which can make it tough to stay open as long as we’d like.

We’re especially looking for folks who can work some weekdays during the last week of August and into September, mainly at our Chanhassen and Brooklyn Park stands. Just a couple of weeks of help would make a big difference — with a few more hands, we could keep the season going into mid-September instead of wrapping up around Labor Day.

If you’re looking for a short-term job for a little extra income, send us a message here on Facebook — we’d greatly appreciate it!

We may not have the biggest selection of products like some of our larger competitors, but what we do have is grown and harvested with expertise and care on our farm or with other local friends. You can see and taste the difference!

We are so thankful for another beautiful day! 🙏 How does the best sweet corn and crisp, cold watermelon sound with what you’re grilling this evening? Maybe baby potatoes, green beans and muskmelon? So many delicious goodies at the stand today. See you soon!

Kirsten is running a bouquet special today! $12 per bouquet instead of $15. They are looking amazing as always!

🍉🍉Fresh Pickin’s grows 2 kinds of watermelon; Black Ruby which is a crisp, sweet and seedless variety. We also grow Estrella which is the traditional variety for spitting seeds at each other. 😁 Both melons are delicious with amazing flavor and texture. 🍉🍉
