What a wonderful year 2017 was. We have enjoyed having so many of you come out to pick fresh berries and get other produce, too. We were blessed with some good weather and had nice crops of all the berries. The strawberries and raspberries did very good, but this was the first year we had a significant crop of blueberries. They are slow growing, but are looking good. Currants are also growing in popularity and we will be planting more of them next year. We will have a new variety of strawberries for you to try called Malwina – it is a later variety. I really liked the flavor  Read More

Today at our farm we have lots of apples that would love to be picked. Our main variety that we are picking today is Zester. Zesters are a sweet and tasty variety that we have at the farm. Come on in to pick your own straight from the orchard. The Harelreds are loaded, they are very tart but will sweeten more every week. 

Also, today we have red raspberries that can be picked as well. We have great picking this week in the morning for sure, which means you could bring some delicious raspberries home. We are open from 9-4 today, and during the week we are open 9-2 Tuesdays and Thursdays.

🍑 Peaches Peaches Peaches  Questions Answered! 🍑

Were they grown at White Pine?
Nope! These peaches were grown by our friends at Jelli’s Market in Southern Wisconsin.

Are they organic?
No.

Are they for sale?
Yes! $5 per pound – Thursday only.
👉 First come, first serve (no reservations).

Kind of. Against Farmer Andrew’s advice, Farmer Greg planted 5 peach trees:
    •    2 are alive 🌱
    •    2 are dead ❌
    •    1 died, but something peach-ish is sprouting from the roots 🤷‍♂️

Why is Farmer Andrew wearing black?
In honor of Jack Black, who sings Peaches! 🎶

🍂 Fall flavors are ready at the farm! Our Certified Organic fall raspberries are in season and ready for picking. We have more and more berries ripening daily, including some golden raspberries! Conditions are at a 4/5 right now, so it’s a great time to grab a quart and head out to the rows for easy picking. 

🍎 Zestar apples are also in full swing! They're Certified Organic, slightly tart, and perfect for both snacking and baking. They’re a customer favorite for a reason! 😆 $5 per pound. 

🌻 Don’t forget to pick your own bouquet of flowers before you leave! The zinnia field is full of colorful blooms, and the sunflowers have some nice, tall blooms too. It's the perfect way to freshen up your home or share the beauty with loved ones! Bouquets are a great gift for any occasion. 🌸

📸✨ Some moments are just too sweet not to capture- especially when you’re surrounded by fields of flowers and fun photo ops! 😉 The bales and the sunflower tractor setup were such a hit last year that we had to bring them back. This year, we’ve added extra magic with the butterfly wings and a kissing booth, now set among the zinnias so you can spread your wings and blend right in with the butterflies! 🦋🌸

The fields are still filled with blooms, making the perfect backdrop for photos and the prettiest bouquets to take home. 🌻🌸 Don’t wait too long to visit! Sunflowers are nearing the end of their season. 

🍎 Today is the start of our Zestar apple picking! They're crisp, juicy, and ready for your first taste of fall. We’ve also got some nice fall raspberries waiting in the patch! For the best picking, we recommend coming early, and we’ll keep you updated on conditions here and on our website.

Between the flowers, apples, raspberries, bouncy houses, FarmVille activities, and treats in the general store… It’s the perfect afternoon to enjoy the last bit of summer and welcome fall at the farm. 💛

This time of year we pull our OPEN/CLOSED sign into the shop. Why? 👇

Our self-serve flower fields are open every day from 9 AM until sunset 🌸 But our store and berry/apple picking are only open 3 days a week.

At the end of store hours, instead of flipping our sign to “Closed,” we bring it inside so folks don’t think the whole farm is closed. You could say we’re open-ish from 9 AM to sunset 😉—so feel free to drive in, park in our parking lot, and enjoy the flowers, photos, and fields.
