A message from Farmer Greg & Farmer Andrew-

We experienced an early spring frost this year. While we expected some impact on our crop, we werenโ€™t sure exactly what it would look like. Now that berries are continuing to ripen, weโ€™re seeing a more modest strawberry season than some years. The good news is that we will still have berries to be picked, but it may take a bit longer to fill your flat or bucket. ๐Ÿ“

What does this mean for your visit? We continue to have beautiful berries available for picking each day. โ˜€๏ธ The best picking is typically in the mornings or shortly after opening, when the fields have the most ripe berries. Later in the day, you may need a bit more time to find the perfect berries.

Because the crop is lighter, a 4 out of 5 may be the highest rating we reach. ๐Ÿ“ Donโ€™t wait for a 5 before planning your visit. A 3 – 4 means good to great picking and you should come on out!
