Summer Greetings to our customers!
We have been busy getting ready for another strawberry season and look forward to seeing each of you on the farm again this year.
Opening date: Our opening date will either be June 8 or 9! Check back on Sunday for the latest update. We will be watching the fields and weather to determine our opening day.
Crop conditions: This year, we will be down to about 2 acres of good picking due to the no-snow freeze out of strawberry crowns in the 2024 and 2025 winters. This spring we planted 1.4 acres (10,000 plants) of new strawberries for 2027 picking. So far, this year has been very dry, which brings slightly smaller, but sweeter berries.
Prepicked berries: We are just not able to fill the demand! This year we will not have a method to preorder already picked berries. We are down on acres this year and it is hard to find pickers. We plan to offer pre-picked berries on a first come, first serve basis when we can. We will post our program for prepicks each day of the season.
New this year: We have a new expanded parking lot just south of our house to relieve parking congestion in the yard.
Reminders:
1. Our typical hours are Sunday - Friday 7am-noon. Always check our phone message (507-884-7246), website, or social media before coming as we often close early on days we are picked out! We try to update the messages about a half hour before we are picked out. Also, we are closed some days during the season due to rain or for ripening. We will try to open at least one evening for picking.
2. We provide picking boxes, but you are welcome to bring your own picking containers.
3. Bring water, a hat or sun screen and bug spray. Families are welcome, but we cannot allow pets in the field due to Dept of Health.
4. We will have honey for sale as usual and asparagus for the first week of the season.
We accept cash, check, and credit card.
