We have an opening date!! Please read this post for details.
Although early cool weather has delayed the strawberry season significantly we are getting closer! This year we have only 2 acres of strawberries instead of our normal 3 acres. This is due to a problem with perennial weeds taking over our fields which we have solved for now. (We planted another acre this spring and will be back to 3 acres of strawberries next year). Without the weeds, our 2 acres look great and they have lots of strawberries! They are just very slow in ripening this year.
We will open our early variety field this Sunday, the 19th, Father’s Day at 7 AM (hot day-early start) for Upick only. No pre-picked yet.
This variety is loaded with berries but Sunday will be an early first picking and we will likely close early that day. So bring dad out to the field and get some fresh strawberries and fun memories!
This year it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that people call ahead or check our Facebook or website before they come to the farm as some days we will likely close early when we are picked out. Our main crop of Jewel variety is still at least one week from being ready to pick.
We look forward to seeing you on the farm.
Barry and Marybeth
