Thank you for joining us this strawberry season! We welcomed many new faces and loved seeing so many regulars come back. As we remember the record freezes alternating with hot weather, we are thankful that the season went so well. We appreciate each and every one of your visits to the farm and your kind encouragements. We are so thankful for our family and friends (which includes staff!) who make it all possible by offering support in many ways. We couldn’t ask for better!

We’ll see you again in October for our Fall Festival! In the meantime, we’ll be busy making honey!

As our days continue to warm up and drought conditions persist, we have decided that this Saturday will be our last weekend opportunity to visit the farm. So, if you are a weekender, come and see us one last time! Otherwise, stay tuned for your last opportunities next week. You’ll want to take advantage of strawberry and onion sales and stock up on honey before we close. We still have plenty of beautiful berries on the bushes, but you will also see some that are overripe or damaged, so we wanted to give a little extra reward for picking.

We’ve had such a great season and we still have strawberries to share, but as things start to warm up more consistently we are starting to think about the end of the season, and you should too! Our strawberries will be $3 a pound this week and our strawberry onions are $1 each! We still have plenty of beautiful berries on the bushes, but you will also see some that are overripe or damaged, so we wanted to give a little extra reward for picking. Don’t forget to stock up on honey while you are here!
