A New Year at White Pine Berry Farm

Update

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

From the look of things, you’d think we don’t know
From the look of things, you’d think we don’t know what we’re doing here at White Pine—😂 and you might be right! With spring work 🌱 also comes spring fix-it projects 🔧. Funny this morning when I pulled up: Greg had the tractor hood up 🚜, hooking his truck to pull it out of the field. Thought it was the battery ⚡—jumping with the truck didn’t work, so we dragged it to the garage 🛠️. Hooked up the charger—still nothing. Then we found a loose cord ⚙️, thought it was the seat sensor, but nope—just a random unplugged wire. After 30 minutes wasted ⏰, it hit me—PTO was still on! 🚫 For safety, the tractor won’t start. Cheap, simple fix, we can’t count how many times we told team members to make sure it is off before starting the tractor.

And of course, we’re also doing repairs on the disc ⚙️, plus the tire on the Kubota UTV 🛻 is in for fixing at River Falls Tire. You’d think things would run better around here, but hey—just look at management to wonder why! 🤔”

Big day at the farm! 🍓 The early signs of spring are here as the tractor uncovers the strawberry plants. The rows are looking strong and full of promise! 

This special machine is called an EcoWeeder—it serves two functions as both a weeder and a tool to uncover the berries. 🚜

✨ There’s still a lot of work ahead before June, but we’re off to a berry good start.

Our barn has hosted some pretty fun events the past couple years 💍🎉—and if you know someone who’s celebrated here, tag them! 👇

While doing some spring cleaning 🧹, we came across a box full of “growing up mementos” 📦💭 and we’d love to find the owner 👀

Could it be yours… or someone you know? 🤔 Tag away!

We’re looking forward to another great season in the barn 🌿, including our new Blueberry Bliss Craft Fair 🫐✨ on Sunday, July 26!

😇When you pull up to your church and see Holy Donuts you gotta buy some🍩. He is in Faith Community Church parking lot until around 9 tonight (Wednesday), or follow his page for where he will be next.  I first tried his donuts when he was serving for event at our White Pine Wedding Barn. 

🍋‍🟩The key lime was soo good.  A little lift after a hard holy week for our church. 

Even cooler—he started this business to help pay for college at UW–River Falls🦅, and now he’s employing other college students to help them do the same. Pretty awesome.

🧑‍🌾 Farmer Greg shares one thing he’s especially passionate about: selling directly to YOU 💛🍓

For Farmer Greg, farming isn’t just about growing berries—it’s about connecting with the people who enjoy them, sharing his knowledge, and building a community around fresh, local food 🌱🌼

Grace asked some great questions 👇
❓ How did you become a farmer?
❓ What drew you to this berry-filled adventure? 🍓
❓ What’s your favorite (and least favorite 😅) part of farming?

A: I come from a long line of farmers—that’s how I got started. My family has been farming since they immigrated to America in the 1880s. 🌾🇺🇸

A:⭐ Favorite: Being outside, watching things grow, and selling directly to customers. 
🌧️ Least Favorite: Not being able to control everything. The weather impacts our outcomes so much—droughts, early freezes, late freezes. You learn pretty quickly that you’re not in control of everything, and that’s still a challenge, even as a seasoned farmer. 🚜🌦️

My favorite Easter story 🌷🐣
Grandma Mary, Farmer G

My favorite Easter story 🌷🐣
Grandma Mary, Farmer Greg’s mom, was an incredible farm wife! She used to hide baskets all over her yard, barns, and buildings. 🚜🌾 She’d hand us a sheet of clues and send us out like little scavenger hunters.

I was maybe 14—the youngest—and they had just gotten a new propane tank. My clue included a line that said, “I hope you stayed warm this winter.” 🔥 I found it in about two seconds… and started eating the candy right in front of her. 🍬😎

The next year, my clue just said, “Happy Easter.” That should’ve been my first warning 😂, but I knew I had it coming and couldn’t complain. I searched for over an hour with no luck. I finally asked for another hint, and she said, “Go get a shovel.” 🪏
I said, “But the garden is all tilled…”
She replied, “Only to hide your basket better.” 🌱😳

Looking back… I guess I was destined to be a market gardener—digging in the dirt for the good stuff all along. 🧑‍🌾🥕

❄️ It’s snowing, sleeting… just plain yuck out there—but we still made it to the dentist and Wilder Waffle Co 🧇🍓
A 2-hour delay = the perfect excuse for a daddy-daughter breakfast.

If you haven’t stopped by Wilder at Exit 4, make the trip—you won’t regret it!

Excited to have Derek, the owner of Wilder, back for our craft fairs this year. Big announcement coming soon 📣🫐!

Thanks to Sara for helping us out!

Farmer Greg is back with another berry important tip! 🍓🌱 Q: When is it safe to uncover my strawberries?

We know the warmer days have you itching to get out in the garden—but don’t rush it just yet! Keep those strawberry plants tucked in as long as possible. A surprise late frost can sneak in and do serious damage.

Patience now = sweeter, healthier berries later! 🍓✨

Keep the questions coming—Farmer Greg will keep the answers growing! 🌱

🚜 Tractor Safety Day!🚜 Today at White Pine Berry Farm, we hosted a special tractor safety training day for three of our younger team members! 🌱 We focused on gear shifting, hooking up attachments, and staying aware of all surroundings—especially keeping our customers and their children safe on the farm. 

👨‍🌾👩‍🌾 As a working farm, safety is always top priority, and we’re proud of these guys as they get ready to take on important jobs out in the fields. 🌾

Reason #1 to never leave the farm 🚜😅
You might get stranded in Texas thanks to a snowstorm back home in Minnesota… and suddenly you can’t get into MSP ❄️✈️🙃

Last weekend we headed down to Texas to visit Luca’s birth mom ❤️. Plan was simple: fly back Sunday morning. Easy, right?

Well… Saturday night hits and boom—flight canceled 😬. Next available option? A couple days out.

So what do you do? You pivot.

Rent a car 🚗
Drive all day Sunday to Iowa ☀️➡️🌙
Wait for I-35 to open back up Monday 🛣️
Then finish the trek home 💪

Not exactly the relaxing travel plan we had in mind… but we made it 😅

Between the snow and adventures like this, there’s been a LOT of planning happening these past couple weeks—for this season and the years ahead 🌱🍓🫐🎃🌻🌽❄️
