🍓 It’s Pizza n’ Pickin’ Night at the farm

🍓 It’s Pizza n’ Pickin’ Night at the farm! 🍕

We’re open tonight from 4–8pm with Consuming Fire LLC serving up their delicious artisan wood-fired pizzas, perfect for dinner after an evening of strawberry picking! *Please note, Consuming Fire only accept cash or check. We can take card payments for pizza in Farmer Greg's General Store for an additional $1 processing fee.*

❗️We still have beautiful berries waiting in the fields, but don't wait too long to come out! The season goes by fast, so try to make plans now while they're still available. Organic berries are still going strong, with the best picking in our Valley Sunset variety. (Pro tip: best picking is always right when we open.) For the next few days, we will have minimal to no picking available in our conventional field. We will have more conventional picking once our Malwina berry variety ripens in a couple of weeks.

🧘‍♀️ A slight change in plans for yoga- the 4:15 Family Yoga Class has been canceled tonight, but there are still spots open for the 6pm regular yoga class with Nature Yoga Club . Come unwind with a peaceful outdoor class on the wedding barn lawn! Sign up is on their website.

Grab your friends, come hungry, and join us for an evening full farm fun, fresh berries, and seriously good pizza. 🍕🍓

🍓🍕 We are open Monday 6/30 from 8am–6pm, and then on Tuesday night, we’re throwing another Pizza n’ Pickin’ Night from 4–8pm! 🎉

🔥 Consuming Fire LLC will be serving up their delicious, wood-fired artisan pizzas straight from their mobile oven. Cash or check only, but if you forget—we’ve got you covered. Just swing by the general store where we can take card payments for pizza (plus a $1 processing fee). Trust us—you don’t want to miss these pizzas.

🧘‍♀️ The Nature Yoga Club will be back for two more outdoor classes:
🌿 6:00pm – Evening Yoga at the Wedding Barn: A one-hour, pay-what-you-want class in a peaceful setting.
Register on The Nature Yoga Club website—spots are still open!

🍓 Strawberry season is winding down, but there are still great berries out in the fields. If you haven’t picked yet this year (or want to stock up one more time), don’t wait too long—the season goes fast!

🐐 And as always, FarmVille will be open with animals, games, and new fun zones for the kids. Our general store will also be stocked with fudge, local treats, and all things strawberry.

We can’t wait to kick off another fun week with you at the farm! 🌿❤️

💍 One week ago, Andrea and Lawton came out to the farm to pick strawberries and do yoga in our butterfly garden… just ONE WEEK before their wedding (which is happening today!!). Officially the most chill, relaxed couple ever. Most people would be drowning in wedding prep stress, but these two chose strawberry picking and yoga with their loved ones. We thought it was crazy… but also totally awesome. 💍🍓 Congrats to the happy couple on their marriage today!!

👉 On the topic of yoga... The @natureyogaclub is coming back this Tuesday night for two more outdoor yoga classes at the farm- just in time for our Pizza n’ Pickin’ Night with Consuming Fire LLC, serving up delicious artisan wood-fired pizza! 🍕*Please note, they only accept cash or check. We can complete your pizza order with card in the general store for an extra $1 processing fee.*

Come out for a night of fresh air and fun:
🦋 Join a Butterfly Family Yoga class at 4:15pm, inspired by the butterfly life cycle
🧘‍♀️ Follow it up with a calming one-hour yoga session on the wedding barn lawn at 6pm

Stick around to pick fresh strawberries and enjoy hot pizza straight from the oven. 🍓🍕 There are still spots available for both classes, so don’t miss this relaxing summer evening on the farm! Register now on The Nature Yoga Club website!

🍰 We’re open today until 6pm for another Strawberry Shortcake Social Saturday! It’s overcast and not too hot or humid, perfect picking weather especially if you prefer to avoid the heat! ☁️☀️

🍓 Organic patch: Loads of berries and still going strong
🍓 Conventional patch: more limited but still some nice berries
🎈 Bouncy houses and games are up in FarmVille
🐐 Farm animals are ready for visitors
🛍️ Our general store is stocked with homemade fudge, jams, shrubs, and unique local goods

Join us today for a fun strawberry-filled Saturday with your friends and family! ☺️

🍓🍩 One of Farmer Greg’s favorite treats—and yes, that’s him walking out of Farmer Greg’s General Store! This is your last call for strawberry donuts! We’ve got some today and likely tomorrow morning, but once they’re gone, they’re gone. Next up: our mouthwatering blueberry donuts!

🍓 There’s still plenty of picking happening! Our second-to-last variety, Valley Sunset, is just starting to ripen. Jewel is still going strong—smaller than earlier in the week but still super delicious. Out on the organic field, we’ve got some Cabots and a few of the new Evelyn variety.

🗓️ The end of this week and start of next is the time to come for Certified Organic strawberries. We plan to be open Friday and Saturday of the 4th, but not sure yet what the picking conditions will be.

Still to come: Malwina, our latest variety (not organic). It’s a bit of a wild card—sometimes it yields a lot, sometimes not 🤷‍♂️

We love having so many different varieties, and right now you can taste several side by side—come enjoy the flavor parade🥁!

Check our website for hours and conditions 😀

🐮 Get to know our furry friends at White Pine!

🐮 Get to know our furry friends at White Pine! 🐐

Say hello to the hearts (and hooves, coats, and whiskers) of the farm:

🐮 We've got 4 lovely beefy boys this year- Loco, Lechuza, Lola (3 red angus) and Caballo (black angus). We couldn't resist naming them after some of Luca's favorite Spanish nursery rhymes- and Caballo (meaning horse in Spanish) is a special mention simply because Luca kept calling him Caballo. 😂

🐐 Our trio of goats came to us from The Walnut Hill Farm- with a fun backstory behind their names! Karl (all white), Carll (all black), and Carl (with cream stripe down his back), are named after the same legend & goat whisperer Carl Snyder, who helped deliver them unexpectedly while looking after the farm for a short period of time while the owners were on vacation. Naturally, they've become known as the “triple threat of Carls", because sometimes one Carl just isn't enough. 😆

🦙 Our trio of alpaca charmers came to us from our friends at Wibotawot Farm. Minion (red one) and Sabelko (white one, named after our team member Parker Sabelko) have come back again for their second year at the farm. We've also added Luxor, the new talkative & handsome grey-spotted fella!

🐱And of course- we can't leave out Izzy, our barn cat! Being such an iconic member of our farm (he's been with us since we opened in 2012), we decided to name our new FarmVille vet clinic after him! We also have a new super‑skittish grey kitten (who Peyton named Pizza 🍕) at the farm who’s so shy, we don’t even have a photo yet! He bolts the second he spots someone, so he's basically our ninja of fluff. 🤫

All of our animals are part of what makes White Pine complete- a home to us and a home to all of them. Come say hi soon! ☺️

🍓 We are open today until 6pm even with the rain! ☔️ We will have special extended hours tomorrow (6/27) from 8-4pm to allow extra time for picking, since we still have TONS of ripe organic berries. We are also open on Saturday from 8-6pm for another Strawberry Shortcake Social day! Don't miss out on another weekend of great picking, family fun, and delicious food!

☔️ Team Member Highlight + Young Volunteer Pic

☔️ Team Member Highlight + Young Volunteer Picking Day! 🍓

Rainy days at White Pine feel a little different—with fewer pickers in the field, it’s the perfect time to slow down and spotlight some awesome team members (yes, we’re OPEN 8–6 Wed/Thurs!).

Meet Maran & Kyla, two employees who started as young pickers and now help lead the farm!

🌟 Maran first came to pick berries with her family and now leads our farm camps! She says:

“I love sharing the world of agriculture and seeing the joy it brings to kids. Berry Best Wishes to All!”

🌟 Kyla started visiting the farm at age 6 and told us she wanted this to be her first job—and it was!

“Now I give tractor tours, dig in the mud, and welcome visitors. I’ll always recommend White Pine for a fun family day!”

👩‍🌾 Want to experience what it’s like to work at White Pine?
Join our Young Volunteer Picking Day TOMORROW (Thurs 6/26)!
Middle & high schoolers can come pick berries with us between 8AM–12PM, rain or shine! 🌧️

We’ll “pay” you in General Store Dollars ($1.50/lb) for treats like fudge, ice cream, honey sticks & more!

📧 RSVP to berries@whitepineberryfarm.com and let us know when you’re coming.

Come meet our amazing crew & see what working at the farm is all about! 🍓💪

One year ago, Grace and Gideon celebrated their wedding day here at the farm on a perfect summer day. 💐 This year, they came back to the farm on their anniversary to pick strawberries and reminisce on the joy of that unforgettable day. 🍓❤️

🚨 Pulled pork taste test = officially complete! 🍴🐷 With our longtime pork partner Smokey Treats now closed, we hit the road (and the forks) to find a new local favorite for our farm events! After tasting THREE different pulled porks, the team narrowed it down to two delicious winners — with @agave_kitchen coming out on top! You’ll be able to try both on different days throughout the season! 🙌

🌟 TONIGHT (Tues, June 17), we’re open from 4–8 PM for berry picking, and we’ll be serving up pulled pork and hot dogs in the farm kitchen! 🌭🍓

Don’t make your Tuesday just another ordinary we

Don’t make your Tuesday just another ordinary week day. Grab the family, some friends, and come pick berries 🍓🍓 instead of cooking dinner 🥘 at our “Pulled Pork and Pickin’ Night”

Tuesday (6/17) is our first evening picking session of the year! We will be open 4pm-8pm. Our Kitchen will be serving pulled pork and hot dogs for dinner, and the Family Fun Zone will be open! 🏰🏃‍♀️🐐🚜

We expect the fields to be rated a 5️⃣ out of 5 for the Organic fields and a 4️⃣ in the conventional for SOME OF THE BEST PICKING OF THE YEAR!

New this year : we have introduced season passes for the fun zone! A $20 pass will get you in through the summer AND the fall!

Pre-order your passes at our online store on our website.

The 🌤️ Weather Forecast 🌤️ and the 🍓🍓Berry Forecast 🍓🍓 look like they are going to align tomorrow (Monday 6/16) for a WONDERFUL DAY OF PICKING!!

We will open at 8AM and be open until 6PM or until picked out.

Both the organic and the conventional patches will start out at a 4️⃣ in the morning!
(Note: please always check the current conditions as the day goes on, as patch availability can change quickly depending on demand)

While the weather has been a little more like early spring than strawberry season (I don’t know that I have ever seen strawberry picking with stocking caps 🥶 like last week) berry picking has been good so far (look at those buckets!) and will only get better. We expect great picking (and are thinking prime picking will be sometime this week too - stay tuned)

Thanks to all our customers, team members, and volunteers who came last week. We picked a ton of strawberries!
