pick your own

Harvest it yourself

Pick your own describes a farm or orchard where customers harvest produce themselves rather than buying pre-picked items: We went to a pick-your-own strawberry farm.

The arrangement typically offers lower prices since customers provide the labor.

Also appears as u-pick or PYO.

The phrase functions as both adjective and noun: The pick-your-own was mobbed on Saturday.
