Now OPEN!
STRAWBERRY SEASON UPDATES:
6/19/22 On Friday afternoon we opened our orders for pre-picked strawberries, Friday evening we realized that there were more ripe strawberries in the field than we could pick, so we decided to open u-pick. We plan to be open Monday- Saturday 8:00am-8:00pm, unless we get picked out. We are closed Sundays. We update Instagram and Facebook with picking conditions.
You can visit our online shop to place pre-picked orders. We make our best guess as to what orders we can fill based on how many berries we think will be available and how many pickers we have. We start picking for our orders at 7:00am and will add inventory to our online shop the morning of. After picking the strawberries, they are packaged and refrigerated until they are picked up.

Waiting for strawberries to ripen is like waiting for a pot of water to boil. We can watch and watch and watch and nothing changes. Then we look away for a brief moment. -BAM- the pot is boiling over.
Saturday 6/11 was super exciting because, we found the very first red strawberries! Our pot of water is just slowly starting to make really small bubbles.
6/7/22 We are finding plenty of green strawberries in all of our fields. We are still uncertain of when we will be ready to open this year. For reference in 2021 we found our first red strawberry June 1st. As of today, we haven't even found any white strawberries. There are a number of factors that influence ripening of strawberries including: amount of daylight, temperature, and adequate water. So, while it feels like we might be 2 weeks behind last year, a couple of warm sunny days can be like magic to helping the strawberries ripen.
5/27/22 We are not sure when we will open for the 2022 season. Usually we plan on mid-June, but this year it appears we are a bit behind schedule due to the cold spring.
We planted 5 additional acres of strawberries in 2021. With all of the extra fields we anticipate u-pick being open daily 8am-8pm (closed Sundays)
We also hope to greatly increase the availability of pre-picked strawberries. We have hired many enthusiastic young helpers to assist with filling pre-picked orders.
