U - Pick will be Open today Friday July 3rd 2026 from 8 am till NOON as we are supposed to hit humidex of 42 degrees today , a bit too warm to be out in the heat for our amazing staff! Please be warned as well the field this year is weedy ( is that a word?) but hidden within are our berries! 🍓🍓Reminder we are cash only. We will not have any pre picked berries.

The Upick will be open on Friday July 3rd at 8 am , but this post is just from me to say thank you. Over the last week and then some really all this prep starts for me in May . I am ensuring this , that , and the other for smooth (as possible ) strawberry season, I take the orders I ensure we have pickers lined up, I contact , call, message, help Malcolm with whatever he needs , even though bone tired somedays put a smile on my face and trudge ahead . Today while I must admit a tad bit stressed, the last pick up of the day I was given this, hand made gift , did I cry? 100% , I just think I am the lady that married Malcolm that sells his berries , today I realized maybe the people that come year after year know me better then I think. Totally unexpected , to me I’m just doing my job, but for those that do know me you know I love my cows! I asked when gifted if I could take a picture and if she had a page? So thank you Chalk, Talk and Create with LoriC , From the bottom of my heart , thank you, Melisa ❤️

Picked these beauties today for my father for Fathers Day! Had to still go too far to be able to open the U Pick but going to evaluate the field again Wednesday to see if we can start Thursday morning picking for pre picked strawberries only , weather permitting of course. Slowly but surely we are inching closer to berry season ! Stay tuned!

When you get asked while leaving your day job “any plans this weekend ?” I laugh and say “oh no not really ,gotta stick close to the farm still calving “, Malcolm says when I do get home , “let’s go feed and put fresh bedding down” , “sure” I say, myself who has better hearing than Malcolm hears calf crying … as you might notice after trying to milk this old gal for 15 min I got a bit sweaty and my barn jacket came off for the last video to just barn sweater 😂 I will raise him up old girl , you did a great job over the last 14 years but this was just the year you couldn’t make any more milk , thank you for all the calves over the years , thank you for always warning me to back off but never hurting me ,as I respected you and you I , thank for being great for Malcolm as well over the few years I haven’t been around to watch you calf, I did warn him about you 😉 Your calf will be spoiled I promise ! And now you all know why I might always giggle when people ask what my plans are because life on the farm I never truly know but wouldn’t change it for the world!
